Anyone else had enough of this dribble about how certain lawyers “might” or “could” or “may” be held accountable for violating not only the law, but legal ethics of their profession? How much is enough to act against their transgressions? Blatant evidence of malicious and politically based prosecution, including unprecedented and often petty corruption that […]

It’s nearing that time in September again. And I’m doing pretty good, twenty-one years later. Or I thought I was. Funny thing though, I awoke at 3 a.m. feeling leery, only to have that be the Wordle of the day (not a spoiler, as this is now a different day). Except, this time, this year, […]

When folks ask me what I write and I mention aliens, I inevitably don’t get asked, “Have you read…?” whatever the current popular sci fi novels are, I’m asked “Have you seen that TV show with aliens?” This makes me worry for the future of the book-reading world, although I suppose I could hope there […]

Now that a judge’s ruling has stated that former Attorney General Bill Barr outright lied about the Mueller Report, misleading, obstructing, and deflecting at the expense of the American people and our democratic rule of law known as the Constitution, I keep wondering, will he ever be held accountable for his crimes? Because it sure […]

I read recently where using actual science in your science fiction can give a story more plausibility. I didn’t set out to write traditional science fiction, but I have in fact used established science as the basis for some decidedly otherworldly concepts in my speculative fantasy fiction series featuring aliens. I have research known as […]

Exciting and unprecedented happenings as I was boarding a plane yesterday evening to return home after visiting family. I never dreamed I’d be positively giddy about what I was seeing on Twitter, and I was bummed I had to miss Maddow Monday on MSNBC. But as I’ve perused social media over coffee this morning, a […]

Another prescient uncanny tidbit reared its head in reality after I’d written about it in my Other Worldly novel series. It’s not a fun or feel-good way to promote Alien Sensation that launched in June, but here goes… Recently I saw a Twitter post deriding a disgusting ad for none other than the NRA selling […]

My love of country and my faith in humanity are going up in flames. Can you feel it? That boiling-over-on-the-edge-of-a-precipice tension? Earth is heating up while the willfully ignorant and selfish deny climate change. US courts have lit a dangerous fuse, giving more rights to guns than to victims of gun violence, more rights to […]

Recently I read a great online piece about writing your passions in Writer’s Digest. It addressed the now seemingly clichéd advice to “write what you know” as great for beginners but espoused how eventually you should evolve as a writer and let your passions be your guide, your inspiration. I wholeheartedly agree and have previously […]

I’m back in writing mode, having finally written a fourth chapter for my next novel in the Other Worldly series, Altogether Alien, and I’m participating in a writing contest this weekend, so I thought I’d share my thoughts on that. Because it unfortunately causes angst even as it challenges me. First, some background. It’s a […]
