Recently I saw an unfamiliar reference to metapatterning, a verb meaning “breaking through patriarchal patterns and weaving our way out of male-ordered mazes.” As my fierce feminist protagonist Rowan Layne would say, boy howdy. It brought to mind myriad sociopolitical subjects featured in my Other Worldly novel series—and at least the mazes first introduced as […]

On January 27, I finally heard from One More Chapter—United Kingdom publisher seeking authors without agents—on my submission of a revised Alienable Rights, first novel in my Other Worldly series and originally self-published in February 2020. It was a hopeful longshot to attempt to “relaunch” the series at this juncture, so therefore not surprising that

On Thursday I was gifted with a headline that could be straight out of my Other Worldly novels: Trump tells Pentagon to release files on UFOs and “alien and extraterrestrial life” Granted, it came from CBS News, not exactly a reputable source these days, but given that this president has proved he’ll do and say

First and foremost, what we the people need is a laser that deflects DoD and DHS stupidity. And what I require is for incompetent imbeciles too idiotic to breathe to stop screwing with my regional airspace like it’s their personal pathological playground. Days ago I could not even begin to joke—or tolerate inane jokes about—this

Here I always thought the biggest government coverup to date, spawning endless and absurd conspiracy theories, involved aliens of the extraterrestrial kind. Not even close. And how many thought the worst defense and intelligence failure in our nation was 9/11? It wasn’t. Though the continued failure to acknowledge it as a colossal failure is a

Seen recently on social media and felt to my core: “If my political party suddenly attracted racists, Nazis, and bigots, I would be checking my values.” Here’s the thing. I see this as an issue within entire religious sects, and within far too many church congregations. Both in attracting racist bigots, and clergy actively espousing

What’s happening right now in our nation is unspeakably horrific and definitely diminishes the spirit and the will to speak out for fear of backlash, including the very real potential for violence from those who are supposed to protect. All the more reason that, due to a disheartening local situation in which those supposedly advocating

Today is an official day in our nation for honoring a great man, Martin Luther King, Jr., but because of the personal loss of my father last week, this post will instead celebrate another great man, Leslie William Wright, Jr. Yesterday I drafted Dad’s obituary; today I can focus on the fun and even the

Yesterday I showed up with handmade signs to protest an unspeakably horrific act of violence by fascist thugs known as ICE, which could easily stand for Inconceivably Contemptible Evil or Imbecilic Cretinous Egomaniacs running amok. In awful reality, the pointblank murder of Renee Good in Minneapolis is merely one of many senseless tyrannical tragedies occurring

In 2017, I began writing my first novel, Alienable Rights, addressing unsavory aspects of humanity on full display when the news breaks about extraterrestrial aliens among us. It helped me to process a particularly difficult personal life during a time that both decimated my faith in humankind and seemingly destroyed my sense of humor. Nine
