March 15, 2015 Kona Brewer’s Festival Aloha! I’m writing today’s post from the lanai of a rented condo in Kona Hawaii, overlooking palm trees, tennis court and ocean. The things I do for you people. Exhausting. Take yesterday for example, when I spent the afternoon tasting beer, oceanside, in the sun and sampling the offerings… Continue reading Kona Brewer’s Festival. Resurrected Post.

My Second Novel, “Under Strange Suns.” Resurrected Post.
March 8, 2015 My Second Novel, “Under Strange Suns” No suspense, no buildup. Here’s the deal: I placed my novel Under Strange Suns with Twilight Times Books.http://www.twilighttimesbooks.com/ There, that’s out of the way. Details, then. It is a science fiction story. Or rather, planetary romance written with a twenty-first century audience in mind. That means,… Continue reading My Second Novel, “Under Strange Suns.” Resurrected Post.
Pesky Real Life. Resurrected Post.
February 15, 2015 Pesky Real Life I held a giveaway contest for “Reunion” recently. Congratulations to the winners. I hope you all enjoy the novel. I seem to be doing quite a bit of giving recently, mostly money. Real life continues to stick its nose under the tent flap of my world-building, fabulizing, tale-crafting pavilion.… Continue reading Pesky Real Life. Resurrected Post.
VFW Book Signing. Resurrected Post.
December 14, 2014 VFW Book Signing Yesterday I held a signing at a Veterans of Foreign Wars event. I truly hope those who purchased “Reunion” enjoy it; these aren’t folks I’d care to disappoint. They risked quite a bit for the country, the least I can do is provide some competent entertainment. I like… Continue reading VFW Book Signing. Resurrected Post.

Dole out the… Continue reading Increments. Resurrected Post.

Orycon 36 Wrap Up. Resurrected Post.
November 9, 2014 Orycon 36 Wrap Up Another Orycon recedes in the rear view mirror. My second as a panelist. I felt more comfortable in the role this year and had a good time. Whether or not the other panelists or the audience members enjoyed my participation remains an open question. I met a number of talented… Continue reading Orycon 36 Wrap Up. Resurrected Post.
Transitions. Resurrected Post.
November 2, 2014 Transitions The current work-in-progress, a short fantasy novel, looks to be near completion. First draft completion, anyway. I expect to write “End” by next weekend, in time for Orycon. We’ll see. The point is that the time has come to move on to the next project. I don’t want to bore anyone with… Continue reading Transitions. Resurrected Post.
Book Signing, Once Again (Resurrected Post)
July 20, 2014 Book Signing, Once Again Honestly I would have considered the event a success if I’d only sold a single copy. So I left the signing yesterday more than contented. I’d like to thank Jan’s Paperbacks for hosting the event. Also Jack Whitsel for suggesting that I join him at the table. I… Continue reading Book Signing, Once Again (Resurrected Post)
