• The Progress Progresses

    It’s not news, but I’ve been lamentably not keeping up to date here.  I’ve been writing, but slowly. I AM getting ready to release The Elf Job. I’m making last passes through the manuscript as I am finding little bits…

  • They DO Exist

    Went geocaching yesterday and discovered one of these. In working order, no less. So for those of you who thought of them in the category of the Easter Bunny and bras that fit and are comfortable, they really do exist.…

  • Ice, House, and Trailer

    Not a particularly original title, is it? Ice, House, and Trailer. You’d think, as a writer, I could come up with something a little more original. Unfortunately, I’ve got nothing. Of course, titles for anything have never been my forte.…

  • checking in

    I haven’t posted in a long while and I don’t know why. It’s crazy. Updates seem silly given the coronavirus, but yanno, life has to go on to. But let me ask you how you’re doing? I’m in Oregon and…

  • Diamond City Magic 5
