Happy Birthday from me and Goblin!

Hope it's a wonderful day filled with donations and cardiac events.

Dur to minor technical difficulties, the city of San Diego has been temporarily relocated to the Scottish Highlands. We are working to address the issue.
A suburban street with oarked cars and a few trees, completely fogged in. The road vanishes into the fog barely a block away. The view of a canyon fron a back deck. Simple terraces can be seen below, but the cabyon vanishes into gray-white fog maybe 200 feet out

The folks at @blackstonepub.bsky.social made me up this handy infographical image telling you where you can find me next week. And some of the week after that. 🙂
A large graphic showing the cover of God's Junk Drawer, a very old picture of the author,.and a list of west coast signing dates and locations-- San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Eureka, Portland, Redmond, Medford, and Sacramento. There's a lot of information here (store names, dates, times), and I can't retype it all on my phone without it being a mess (sorry), but please feel free to ask about any of it .

Summer of 2021 a little tuxedo cat--barely out of kittenhood--literally showed up on our doorstep and loudly announced "I live here now!" We gave him some food, tried to find a home for him, and finally just had to admit he was right, this was his home.

Happy gotcha day, Alucard.
A black and white tuxedo cat sits in a garden near a small stone-and-mortar wall, looking at camera. A tuxedo cat seen through a screen door, flopped on his back on a pile of black garden bags, staring up at camera Alucard the tuxedo cat, inside and flopped under a large cardboard scratching-couch. Half his face is dramatically hidden in shadow. Alucard laying on his back inside a box with his head and front paws hanging out one end. He's staring up at camera again.

And if you've read all of this I'm contractually obliged to tell you I've got a new book coming out in less than two weeks. It's got dinosaurs. And a robot. And a lot of cavemen. And an alien. If you liked hearing about my death, I'll bet you like this too. Preorder it now from your local bookshop!

Soooooooooooo many possibilities with all these parts.
An action figure of a blond man in a black suit-- a Blackwatch Agent from Operation Monster Force -- with one glowing, monstrous, translucent green hand. A trio of action figures arranged to show ine of the Ghost Vipers transforming into a translucent green wolf.

These guys come with SO many options and helmets that absolutely do not look like they have steampunk mechanical teeth that would gnash if you looked at them too long.
A Ghost Viper action figure surrounded by different guns, optional heads, optional hands, a backpack, some effects pieces, a translucent wolf, and a translucent cobra. Close on three Ghost Vipers. Their full-head helmets have a rebreather with interlocking brass vents that really do look kind of like a mouth full of long, narrow teeth.
