Way back when, I graduated from high school in the same month I saw ‘Return of the Jedi’. Yes, that is how old I am, ha ha. From 1977 to 1983, I was a ‘Star Wars’ nerd. During the following years, I lost interest in the ‘Star Wars’ universe as expanded in dozens of books.…
Read More The Force AwakensLike a few hundred million other people last night, I watched the first debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. I thought Trump had a good initial ten minutes in which he attacked Clinton roundly on her support of previous disastrous trade deals (I agree with him in part.) Then…he lost it. Other people will…
Read More That first debateRemember those carved bone rings I showed off a few days ago? The first ring-book is now complete. I’ve decided the edition of 6 will have a Dia de los Muertos theme because 1) I live in the Southwest, 2) I’ve adored ‘Dia’ celebrations since I was a kid in New Mexico, and 3) It’s getting to…

The first such transformation will be these six carved bone rings, originally from China & dyed with dark brown bands and peace symbols. For…
Read More Six Bone Rings…I’m having too much fun completely re-writing this book. Should revisions be fun? Slightly different names, timelines, inciting incidents, backstory. Still a big, messy space opera romance. Still familiar to the 1500 – 2000 of you who read the first one, but hopefully much better. The new first line of the new Chapter 1…
Read More First look: Moro’s Price revisions‘Breathe’ has been on my to-make list for a couple of years, ever since I stumbled on the quartet of Latin mottos that inspired it. Is it based in soaring social feelings and a genuine wish to see good in the world? Yes. Especially in this sordid election season and social turmoil. But there’s a…
