May 20, 2018 Doings and Updates Here follows a miscellany of personal doings and writing updates. Please control your excitement. My goal for the year was, I believe, to have two books out this year.

Drafts and Drafts. Resurrected Post.
May 6, 2018 Drafts and Drafts I celebrated yesterday with MBW and the HA. You know why? Of course you don’t. So I’ll tell you: Saturday, May the Fifth, I completed the first draft of Chale Thorson Book One: The Jade Dagger. (What do you think about the series title?

Let’s Call it Research. Resurrected Post.
April 1, 2018 Let’s Call It Research It’s probably been too long since I fired off a bunch of money — er, that is, rounds. For a birthday present, MBW arranged a range day for me with a couple of friends of mine who are members of a local gun club. Many paper targets and… Continue reading Let’s Call it Research.

Vacation, Ho! Resurrected Post.
March 11, 2018 Vacation, Ho! I’m on the cusp of vacation and it couldn’t come soon enough. Things are proceeding well enough, I suppose, they’re simply — incomplete. Case in point: I’ve got half the White Tree of Gondor on my bedroom wall. The right side, as you’re facing it, to be exact. See, many… Continue reading Vacation, Ho! Resurrected Post.

January Writing Update. Resurrected Post.
January 21, 2018 January Writing Update “So how goes the writing, Ken?” I arbitrarily determine you are asking. Well, let me tell you, convenient fictional interlocutor. I finished Chapter 9 of the the work in progress. That puts me, I guess, about one-third of the way through. Perhaps closer to half. The story will… Continue reading January Writing Update.

2018 Plans. Resurrected Post.
January 7, 2018 2018 Plans I did not make any New Year’s resolutions. I’m rather content, in general, with life. I always strive to improve, of course, for myself and for MBW and the HA. But I don’t plan to drop ten pounds or start exercising. I already maintain a healthy weight and workout regularly.… Continue reading 2018 Plans. Resurrected Post.

November 19, 2017 Full Weekend: OryCon AND a Birthday Party My weekend was eventful. How was yours? OryCon returned to (almost) its former site for the 39th installment of the convention. The Red Lion on the Columbia River was home to the first several OryCons I attended, beginning back in the late ‘80s. The Red… Continue reading Full Weekend: OryCon AND a Birthday Party.
