I finally got around to reading an online Writer’s Digest article I’d flagged from a month ago, which turned out to be both fun and reaffirming as I make final preparations to publish my next Other Worldly novel, Aliens Watch, and begin bittersweet drafting of the eighth and final story of the series featuring Rowan […]

Finally finished reading Special Prosecutor Jack Smith’s 165-page well-deserved and sublimely executed pushback to the atrocity wrought by SCOTUS known as U.S. v. Trump. In what’s referred to as the October 2 immunity brief  but is officially called the Government’s Motion for Immunity Determinations, DOJ pulls no punches with eviscerating language and brutal brevity. To

Perhaps I picked the wrong time to binge watch a TV series I hadn’t seen before, but I thought I was diverting my psyche from the stress of the current presidential election turmoil. Joke’s on me. Because Scandal is deemed a drama political thriller series and they weren’t kidding. First off, did anyone watch this

The autumnal equinox has finally arrived, and not a moment too soon. September’s been rife with hazards and the hapless hubris of the heinous, so-called “family values,” Republican party. Not at all amusing, and we could all use a few laughs right about now. So I’m going to refrain from discussing North Carolina’s Black Nazi

In my last Other Worldly novel, Altogether Alien, I introduced a term wherein anti-alien imbeciles, making up a group called HUMANS FIRST!, coined a new bigoted term, invalid, to claim that extraterrestrial being were not valid entities. It was based, all too easily, on real life MAGA morons who persist in claiming that immigrants are

In my upcoming novel, Aliens Watch, protagonist Rowan Layne asks, “Why do these hypocritical cretins claim concern for children when they won’t lift a finger to prevent them from being gunned down at school?” Rowan refers to a woman who brandishes an AR-15 to kill an alien “lake monster” of her own fabrication, claiming that

My hometown is Arlington, Virginia. What happened there this week hit me harder than even I expected. Like a sustained gut punch, made more intensely horrific by degenerate excuses for human beings defending it with insidious and inane Fox News-spewed talking points. No, a family of a fallen military member is not entitled to invite

I bet if I say the word badass with a little heat and a whole lot of awe, you know who I’m talking about. KAMALA HARRIS! I typed her name in all caps, hearing Oprah Winfrey say it in a sustained emphatic cheer at the Democratic National Convention this week. It was Michigan Governor Gretchen

In my upcoming Other Worldly novel, Aliens Watch, I created a violent, anti-alien, unpatriotic group called Patriots Glare, a play on words from rockets’ red glare in our US national anthem. Uncanny, as my protagonist Rowan Layne would say. Because I recently learned that the (now delayed) book about Project 25, a maniacal white nationalist

I saw something on social media that resonated with me in more ways than one. It referenced how America finally appeared to be ready to end an abusive relationship. It can’t happen soon enough because it’s been too long, and far too many folks look the other way at harassment and bullying on social media
