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

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
Ranting in Latin
My fault.
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

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
Live event tonight!
Tonight from 9-11 PM Central Time in the US, I’ll be live on Talk in the Night. Live. That’s a bit unnerving. No editing, no post-production clean up to get rid of the awkward pauses and verbal stumbles. Drop an F bomb and it’s out there for posterity. No pressure. The host, Paranormal Phil, and…Read More
Sci Fi Saturday Night
It’s Sunday morning, that means that my interview with Sci Fi Saturday Night is now live on their site. It was a wide-ranging and fun conversation with The Dome and Captain Cam. We talked about music, martial arts, writing, Dreamforge magazine, and, of course, SPARK. I was surprised at how quickly the time passed. They…Read More
Siren Radio
Yesterday, my interview on Siren Radio went live. I had the pleasure of speaking with the host, Alex Lewczuk, and co-hosts Cathy Manso and Jessica Burtis. It was a lot of fun and topics ranged from NASA and the space program to our favorite role playing games. (I’m a big Witcher, Mass Effect, and Skyrim…Read More
10 Questions with Alex Perry
I was privileged enough to be connected with Alex Perry’s writing/critique group through Houston Writer’s Guild a few years ago. Although we’ve never met in person, I’m a huge fan of her work and her honesty. She was the first person willing to give me honest feedback – “It’s boring. It’s like watching someone watch…Read More
