Ruminations on 100 Posts
100 Posts! Woo Hoo! When I started this, I planned two posts per month. Four years to 100. It’s been just over two years because I’ve upped the post rate and added some new topics for consideration. The book reviews and interviews have been popular. I’ll continue them. In the next few weeks you’ll see…Read More
Book Review: Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky
I have mixed emotions upon discovering an author like Adrian Tchaikovsky. First comes the excitement and delight of finding a great read from an author who has multiple books available. Next comes remorse. I could have started reading Tchaikovsky years ago. Children of Time was a surprise, and it’s a bit difficult to review without…Read More
Now Available
Two interviews went live this week. The first actually aired live last night and is now available for your asynchronous viewing pleasure. I chatted with Matt Nappo of Minddog TV last night. Matt’s a great conversationalist and has built a very diverse audience. We talked about Flat Earth, UFOs, and the Moon landings – all…Read More
Book Review: Thunder Dog by Michael Hingson and Susy Flory
The book is subtitled, The True Story of a Blind Man, His Guide Dog, and the Triumph of Trust. I remember where I was on 9/11. Most people who were alive at the time do. I was driving to work and had stopped at an ATM for some cash. A guy in line told me…Read More

My fault.
Book Review: Mutual Rescue by Carol Novello and Ginny Graves
I’ve got a soft spot for animals, particularly dogs. I married a woman whose motto is “Love me, love my cat.” It’s always been a bargain in my favor, even when Tom, the orange-striped tabby cat she brought into our marriage, would try to sleep on my head. We have four rescues in our house…Read More

Four and a half predictions
Recently, I was invited on Bonnie D. Graham’s show, “YOU on Technology Revolution: The Future of Now” Radio. It was tremendous fun. Bonnie’s a great hostess and played the panel well. I was a bit hesitant about the show. The other three guests were all high-power players at the tops of their respective fields. Bonnie…Read More
Book Review: The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi
Always read the afterword. John Scalzi has written a another fun book. It almost didn’t happen. It wasn’t on his radar. Rather, he intended to write a more serious, literary, brooding novel. Then, well, 2020. He put that book on hold, perhaps indefinitely, and wrote something fun. Sometimes you don’t want Beethoven’s Fifth, you just…Read More
Copperfield Books Indie Author Fair
On Saturday, May 21st, I’ll be at Copperfield Books, in Spring, Texas, from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM for book sales and signing. Even though I’m not an indie author, they’re giving my publisher, Inklings, some space. Yes, this is the same great Copperfield Books that’s been on the corner of Louetta and Champion Forest…Read More
