Ageism Much? Don’t Blame Boomers for An Unqualified White Male Republican President
I’ve been feeling my age more in the past two months than I have in the past ten years. And not just in the physical body pain and occasional mental fog that apparently arrives with a vengeance upon turning 65. I’ve felt it in many ways as an author, but the blatant ageism I’m constantly […]
Human Warmongers Do Indeed Attract Alien Observation
Over the weekend I attended two separate events, both ultimately linked to the subject of extraterrestrials and UAP (for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, previously Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, and UFOs before that—apparently DoD spends more time changing acronyms than engaging in anything useful and nondestructive these days) and both surprisingly validating and confirming that aliens are indeed […]
UFO Files? More Like the Mother of All Distractions
Last week on May 8 the imbecilic White House administration conveniently declared that the “Department of War” (which doesn’t actually exist), was releasing “Government files related to Alien and Extraterrestrial Life, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, and Unidentified Flying Objects,” with the idiot-in-chief posting on his failing and flailing social media site, “Have Fun and Enjoy!” Aside […]
Roswell: TV series Offers Entertaining Take on 1947 Crash
Determined to blog something not-so-serious this week, and also have fun creating a photo to accompany this post, I’m writing about Roswell—the TV show—and using a rubber stamp recently acquired for papercrafting. The green alien action figure was obtained at a conference when I worked for the US Air Force JAGC. Funny, huh? And having […]
No Light Shed On UFO Truths From A Self-Serving Liar
The truth is out there, but anyone who thinks it will come from this pathetic excuse for a presidential administration is, quite frankly, a duped imbecile. Hence, after yet another wholly staged (prove me wrong) assassination attempt orchestrated by those who prop up a pathological sociopath undeserving of, and unfit for, the title of US […]
April 1964: “I’m Not Alone Here. I’ve got a UFO.”
Last Saturday I attended a presentation on a historic UFO landing complete with extraterrestrials disembarking and interacting with humans, which occurred mere miles down the road from my new adobe abode back in 1964. It’s known as the Holloman Landing. And, yes, I do believe it actually happened. First, some background. Despite writing novels featuring […]
Enlightening Moon Voyage: No Dark Side to Artemis II
The highlight of a trying last week for many—with emphasis on light—was unprecedented far-side-of-the-moon shots from Artemis II, which launched on my birthday for a historic mission that broke space exploration records. The awe and joy this voyage brought, including the sheer humanity, brilliance, and decency of character displayed by its fabulously diverse crew, cannot […]
Author Aspirations: Blossoming Later in Life
I’m writing this post because I turned 65 last week and am so far embracing it. And although it’s no longer Women’s History Month, given last month’s post about perseverance in publishing, I found it uncanny that I stumbled on another pertinent Writer’s Digest online article by yet another (oh happy day) female author, Amy […]
A Resounding Dethroning: USA Says No Way
Yesterday evening, after loading up on ibuprofen for sore muscles even as my spirit soared to learn history had been made with more than eight million protesting across the nation, I saw this post on Bluesky: One thing you learn by going to No Kings protests is that there are waaaaay more old white ladies […]
Hope Springs From An Unexpected Literary Source
Today I’m celebrating my ten-month anniversary of arriving in New Mexico; last week’s spring equinox; and the blooming of daffodils planted with much hope and anticipation in late October (depicted in the accompanying photo). As I’ve walked my dog in early morning springtime, cottontails have joined us while quail coveys skitter across rural roads and […]
