Dad Golfs With Aliens In My Other Worldly Novels
My dad turns 91 today, so I thought I should give him equal time on this blog after posting about Mom two weeks ago on her ninetieth birthday. After all, Dad, or Les (short for Leslie) features in my Other Worldly novels as Gene. Like my dad, my feisty female protagonist Rowan Layne and I […]
Does Nevada’s Governor Support Racketeering & Fraud?
I spent storm-watch-Saturday reading the Fulton County, GA, indictment and taking notes about Nevada. Before I get to that, let me just say that this 90-plus page document reminds me of a law school exam. Wherein, a bizarre and convoluted fact pattern is laid out and one must identify all potential crimes and criminals. In […]
Author Burnout: One Too Many Book Launches?
When something’s bugging me I’ve found that writing it out, as in writing about it, helps. That’s why there are so many sociopolitical issues addressed in my novels. Fact is, I haven’t written about writing on this blog lately, because I haven’t drafted anything but my weekly blog posts. Back in March when the sixth […]
Indictment Insights For My Politically Passionate Mom On Her 90th Birthday
My Mom, Laura, turns 90 today. Born in Texas in the same year as Willie Nelson, she still loves Willie—and “jitterbugging” to Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville. She’s also my number one fan of this blog site, still diligently reading every post and providing praise that keeps me writing. Those of you in the know, or who […]
Republicans Give Aliens A Bad Name
It’s really a shame that we finally get testimony under oath before Congress about aliens, yet progressives are dismissing it with derision. Why? Because the hearing was ostensibly held by MAGA extremist Republicans intent on pursuing more of their conspiracy theory deep state bullshit, or to cause yet another tedious distraction from indictments of a […]
Enough is Enough, Florida. Your Rampant Racism is Showing
You know how parents warn, “That is enough!” to children behaving badly? This is what needs to happen in Florida with the gruesome governor, officials who wrought this new “curriculum” from within the bowels of the Florida Department of Education, and anyone who supports their sordid attempt to claim slavery was somehow good for those […]
Climate Change: NV Governor’s Maniacal Manipulations
There’s a reason why I write about planetary degradation and its myriad climate change issues in my Other Worldly novel series featuring aliens. Nevada’s current governor is worthy of a vile, all-too-human, villain depicted therein. As I endured excessively sweltering weekend temps, I was also steaming mad. This past week Governor Lombardo withdrew Nevada from […]
Nothing But Contempt For Rotten SCOTUS Six Scofflaws
You know that expression, it’s a lemon? As in, a person or thing considered to be useless. Boy howdy was this evident on Friday with six members of what is supposed to be the highest court in the nation. High on power and privilege yet lacking in actual factual application of law. Perpetuating blatant fraud. […]
Challenges of Judging Teen Imagination
I volunteered to judge short stories authored by teens for a local high school anthology. It sounded right up my writing alley, and a good opportunity to turn off the tedious yet roller-coaster ride of TV news and focus on something fun. Judging, it turns out, can be a tricky, emotionally draining, ultimately self-analyzing endeavor. […]
UFOs Exist No Matter What You Call Them
It’s time to blog about UFOs again, because waiting for the next indictment or Supreme Court decision to drop is tedious, and because I recently saw a refreshing piece on cable TV news wherein none other than NASA claims we need to build our own scientific data on UFOs to look for things that go […]
