My heart goes out to all the employees of the National Park Service. I had the honor of working for the NPS for two years and volunteering for four more, but I’m glad I got out when I did. I wonder if the national parks closing their gates will be what is necessary to wake people up.

Big News!

The Elven Comedienne is getting a new edition, to be published by Snapdragon Books. The sequel will follow soon after.

I’m supposed to be making a social media push for this. I don’t know how. Help!

I am having a very bad day.

I’m sitting at my job in the Rec Center casually watching a gymnastics class. Kids who might be nine or ten are attempting and sometimes succeeding at doing a cartwheel on a bar that’s maybe four inches wide.

It’s given me an appreciation for how difficult gymnastics is.

I looked at my work schedule for next week and thought to myself that it was a pretty easy schedule and I should ask for more hours. Turns out it’s 36.25 hours, which would put me at 81 for the pay period.

Been working a lot lately. 😜

One of the fun things about the setting for the Jana + Traxy series is subtle world creation within a familiar environment. For instance, in their world, “playing board games” is a euphemism for having sex. There’s a really fun scene in which Jana and Traxy discuss backgammon. #writing #books

Let me tell you about my WIP, which might be published by a friend’s small publishing company. It’s a humorous fantasy called “The Crystal Fountain Academy”, and it’s the second in the Jana+Traxy series. #writing #betareader

Hi there. My name is James Whitney. I work for the City of Aspen Recreation Department. I’ve written ten books and self-published eight of them. I play Civilization 6 and soon will play Civilization 7. I sometimes think absurd thoughts. I sometimes share them.
