HIGHWAY 62

Hey, if you're into atmospheric drone that sounds like folk music from the Plateau of Leng, check this out: https://worstward.bandcamp.com/album/ulaan-janthina-part-i

It's pretty good.

In other news, no BLACK TRACE chapter this week. There may be one next week. But reall...

CHAPTER 8

Slats looked about as comfortable as an Eskimo Pie on July sidewalk as he climbed into the car. He sat down like the chair could have lined with punji sticks, even though he’d ridden in Blue near fifty times.

“Roy’s?” asked Jake, not looking Slat’s way.

“Sure. Y...

It's time to do book promotion. Mostly for BLACK TRACE, which I'm nailing down a release date for (probably November given lead times needed). But also for my mother's science fiction books, which were originally printed over a period of time from 1975 or so until 1987...

CHAPTER 7

Everything had gone straight to hell since Danh-Danh and his pals had bought it, Thin Man decided. He stared into the curved screen, reflection distended and convex in the glass.

Los Coyotes had gone gunning for the Sons of the Tiger in general and Danh-Danh’s...

I meant to have a substantial other post up this week, but life interfered.

CHAPTER 5

Eight years after.

Jake awoke in the middle of the night, tasting ke...

Only my memetic content is...unusual.

Also, it betrays what is probably best regarded as an uneasy relationship between myself and criticism/commentary/what have you.

And away we go!

I just made the above last week. Yeah. Getting real tired of death of the author being us...

So in the midst of cleaning up the office yesterday and doing some shelf rearranging, I took the opportunity to update the shelf of my own work that I maintain. Oh sure, it's a monument to vanity, etc etc. Sure it is.

Let's break down things and dig in a little. Uh, lef...
