I'm being overly bold and shameless again. Hope it works out or at least doesn't cause annoyance.

It’s that time of year! I’m in my second year of Astounding eligibility, and I also published nine eligible short stories in 2025. If you only have time to read one, I hope you’ll consider “Handsomest Gentlest,” a love letter to my very good dog. You can find all nine here: m-r-robinson.com/fiction/

Sometimes, working on a chapter is like kneading dough. Does it need more flower, a bit more water, the rolling pin? It's muscular work, but it's also meditative.

About a year ago, I started to wonder what would happen if the Devil took a vacation in Washington, D.C. & realized that humans had gotten better at torturing humans than his own minions? Clearly, I thought, he would raise up a corner of Hell into the 'burbs to show his workforce how it's done (1/2)

I would really like to write the story I've been solicited to write for this collection. (Space opera! Fashion! Politics!)
But it needs to get funded for that to happen.

We have 12 days to go on our crowdfund for WHAT ELEGANT STARS and still need to raise about $7k. We've just added a reward "add-on" for a short story critique with editor dave ring if that would be of interest.
We also still have two Benefactor Rewards at $1k that would be incredibly impactful.

So, for the last 3 months, every time I hit play on my CD player it toggled over to an FM station that played nothing but static. I stubbornly kept stabbing play until the CD started playing.
Finally, I gave up and bought a new player. It works great, but for some reason the readout is upside down.
