A few years ago, I wrote a political thriller about Russia’s 2014 invasion and annexation of Crimea. It’s exciting, features compelling characters, and tells a larger truth about the region and its history. You can get it here:

So gross; right before Armistice Day. I’m glad it has been restored but after six back-and-forth removals and restorations all caused by a coordinated Russian campaign, it should be clear to companies like YouTube that certain accounts require human moderation.

The nature of the mass reports' accusations, unrelated as they are to the channel's actual content, is a clear sign of a coordinated Russian operation, according to the project's deputy editor.

So over this morning’s coffee, I was researching what Shakespearean plays most closely align with today’s political circumstances in the United States, and one of the plays I landed on was Coriolanus.

I caught Jaws in 3-D last night to celebrate its 50th anniversary, and seeing Robert Shaw go down that big fish’s gullet on the silver screen was so worth it!

Trump’s Ukraine game is clear: sell them out to Putin for rare earth elements.
It’s dumb and short sighted and doesn’t consider that we’d also be selling out NATO, the EU and UK. It also ignores that Ukraine is fighting for its life as Russia’s aims are genocidal.
He’s a lackey for tech bros.

Hey, Prime “Day” is July 8-11. Please do NOT buy my book. I mean it. I don’t want a penny of your money going to that company. I’ll get off my duff and move my book to Kobo, BN, etc. at some point.
