Something for Thursday
Yup, the usual. Very busy at work and also very busy at home, what with editing books and other things! I finished manuscript markups on The Savior Worlds, but now I’m finishing up the manuscript markups on Deliverance, Eh? (not … Continue reading
Tone Poem Tuesday
Film music today: a symphonic suite comprising the music of Joe Hisaishi, written for the great Hayao Miyazaki film Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Hisaishi is one of my favorite composers, and this suite is representative of why.
Bad Joke Friday
I need to find more of these, because apparently more exist. If you’re not up on your Star Trek: The Next Generation lore, there was a two-part episode where Captain Picard was sent on a special mission and replaced by … Continue reading

From An Anthology of World Poetry, edited by Mark Van Doren, a French ballad. No poet is named. “The Bridge of Death” “The dance is on the Bridge of Death And who will dance with me?” “There’s never a … Continue reading
Of Cackling Emperors and other things….
OK, so now that I’m done cranking out the words every day in a final push to complete a novel draft, what should we talk about? Why…how about the teaser trailer to Star Wars Episode IX that dropped a few … Continue reading
Something for Thursday
And…we’re done! I’ve been cranking out the words for the last couple weeks in order to bring this one to its conclusion, and this morning, conclude it, I did! So here’s a bit of cheerful triumphalism. (Sorry about the vuvuzela … Continue reading
