Time Travel
May 5th, 2017Time Travel It’s one of my favorite topics in Science Fiction and there have been lots of treatments in literature, movies and television. Lots of them are silly, but several are very, very good, at least in my opinion. Netflix’s Travelers, Continuum, Twelve Monkeys (the book, the movie and the TV show)The Time Machine, Millennium, […]
Retirement
April 12th, 2017What I’ve been thinking about lately is this: how in the name of all that’s right and holy am I ever going to be able to retire? Sixty-seven is only 12 years away and due to my own stupidity and bad financial moves I have maybe 35K set aside in my 401K. With the pittance […]
Caved In
June 19th, 2013Once again, back on Facebook. I figured that a week away didn’t lead to withdrawal symptoms, so what the heck?
More of the Story of the Belleau Wood
May 10th, 2013The ship came alive in Belle’s sensors, the energies she would unleash slowly building as the countdown approached the zero mark.

A little bit of something that’s been kicking around in my head the past few months
November 12th, 2012The sequel to Methuselah’s Daughter is a bit of a dead issue at this time. I made so many compromises to her character that I’m finding it nearly impossible to write Zsallia well, and without that I can’t see any point in pushing forward. It may yet come to pass, but I doubt it. Anyhow, […]
Upgrading to Windows 8
August 15th, 2012Well, seeing as Microsoft released the RTM version of Windows 8 to Technet subscribers today I’ve gone and downloaded my copy and I am running a direct upgrade of Windows 7 Ultimate x64 to Windows 8 x64. Not as courageous (or foolish, depending upon your point of view) as you might think because I happen […]
Methuselah’s Daughter: A Novel
February 8th, 2012My novel Methuselah’s Daughter is on sale for the next two weeks at 99 cents in both Kindle and Nook formats. I’m celebrating my youngets son passing his driving test (and hoping to scrape up a little insurance money)
Working up to working on something… honest…
October 27th, 2011I’ve been playing mental ping-pong with Dean these past several weeks regarding the second part of the Methuselah’s Daughter series, but really the issue is me getting down to the work of writing. Excuses are multiple and quite lame because I really do have a very, very good idea how this should all unfold and […]
