Tied-in, Not Tied Down 28 Apr 2013 | 09:41 pm
I’ve done a lot of books in a lot of genres and all have their special claim to my writing pleasure. Doing tie-in books is a skill that requires more honing than is immediately obvious. Mostly, tie-in...
Triage 17 Mar 2013 | 08:12 pm
Ideas are easy, developing them isn’t. Worse, choosing which to work on is even more daunting. I have a row of notebooks filled with ideas accumulated over the years and, as good as some are, I will n...
An Elephant Ate My iPhone! 7 Mar 2013 | 10:38 pm
Not *my* cellphone, but a woman at the Arizona Renaissance Fair had one of the pachyderms reach out, snatch her phone and chomp down on it. Luckily, it wasn’t a blackberry and tasted bad so the elepha...
You Don’t Have to Be Crazy, But It Helps 1 Mar 2013 | 04:06 am
Writing can be so strange. Sitting and writing is great, but no much else is required now. A writer is a small corporation, a business doing everything from thinking up the ideas to marketing them (I ...
Funny, You Don’t Look Phlegmish 13 Jan 2013 | 11:59 pm

Merry Christmas y Feliz Navidad 25 Dec 2012 | 12:09 am
Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas from along the Cenotaph Road. Thanks for being alongside this past year and may we continue for a long time into the future.
Welcome to the New Mayan Long Count 22 Dec 2012 | 10:25 pm
Survived the last 5125 and unfortunately the new page on the Mayan calendar doesn’t have any of those frisky Mayan maidens with cavorting jaguars, either. Next time. For those of you looking forward t...
Merry Mayan Apocalypse 20 Dec 2012 | 11:37 pm
Tomorrow, as I write this, the 5125 year Long Count Mayan calendar runs out. I personally think their next page with future 5125 years on it was lost. Or maybe got banned because it was a pinup calend...
