An ANNOUNCEMENT.
Yes, that’s right! An ANNOUNCEMENT! I’ve joined the ranks of people with newsletters. Why? Well, this is strictly a case of me being a follower: it seems like everybody is doing newsletters, so I needed to join the bandwagon. You … Continue reading →
Shorter posting ahead….
Posts here will likely be a bit more terse over the next bit of time, as I’m hitting a good spot in my current work-in-progress and my favorite author’s new novel just dropped…. Keep checking in, though!
Sigh
So, there’s a Person A, who is a writer and a blogger whose life and writings I’ve been following for a number of years now. And there’s a Person B, who for some reason hates Person A and has been waging … Continue reading →

“All right, Mr. Sulu. Let’s see what she’s got!”

Twenty years a blogger….
