Soon, probably this weekend, I will be moving the short story “Magnetic Monopoly from the free area into the catalog. I’ll be replacing it in the free area with another short story that will remain free for a month. If you haven’t read “Magnetic Monopoly” and you want to, grab… Continue reading
It’s been a long last couple of days. Sunday I attended day 3 of LepreCon36 and sat on a panel about the (un)glamorous life of a writer with Melinda Snodgrass and Rick Cook. The topic being loosely defined, we ended up talking about various aspects of life as a writer,… Continue reading
Today was the day I earned my free pass to the staff lounge and the food inside. I sat on two panels, had a reading and a signing. I read from “Return to the Moon” and from “Espantalho de Sao Paolo,” both unpublished works and had good reaction from both…. Continue reading
I spent much of yesterday at LepreCon 36 in Mesa, Arizona. I’m on program but I had nothing scheduled for friday. That allowed me to simply sit in panels and listen the way I did before I started being invited to be a participant. At the meet the guests party,… Continue reading

I spent about 3-1/2 hours in the field today doing census work, and it’s exhausting work in this heat. We’re nearly 100 degrees, though we haven’t hit it yet. A lot of walking and knocking on doors. *exhale* In terms of writing, I’ve been struggling with how to proceed on… Continue reading
If you haven’t already heard, the Phoenix Suns opted to wear a special jersey they used during a March drive to bring in Hispanic fans again on this Cinco de Mayo. Across the front of the jersey is written “Los Suns.” The jersey selection was made as a statement against… Continue reading
Now that I’ve started census work proper, meaning out of training, I’m suddenly swamped. The census thing is much like being salaried in the sense that you have to be ready to work on and off all day. Yet, the position is hourly, so it’s a lot of paperwork and… Continue reading
