Novella is off to my editor. If anyone interested in reading it, please let me know. I'm looking for Alpha and Beta readers and praying I can figure out how to get a few printed in time for WorldCon. It would be my dream to get these in the hands of some of my favorite authors.

Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch novels are pure gold. Absolute palette cleansers. @titusw24.bsky.social voices him in my head in every book now.

Don Winslow's The Winter of Frankie Machine has everything: an anti-hero you really fall in love with, mobsters, dialogue straight out of a Frank Capra film, action, suspense, and a story about another time, when life seemed simpler. My first 5-star read of 2025. Don Winslow NEVER disappoints!!

So everyone know: THIS IS A NO POLITICS ZONE. If I wanted to get rage-induced, I'd go back to Twitter. Keep your politics away from me please. I want to talk about books and writing and film and music. Nothing else, thanks.

I don't mean to unfollow you here at bluesky. I just cannot deal with politics any more. This country is fucked and I'm tired, after 60 years, of fighting for things others just don't seem to want. FUCK 'EM. I'm done. Will keep following on Twitter.

@thatcalamity.bsky.social is the author of the first story, THE PATCHSKIN WOMAN, a sad tale of human ignorance and the spirits of nature that always surprise, confound, and enlighten us. I'm grateful for the happy ending of the work, though. So necessary in this time.

So a reminder:
It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.
It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.
It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.
For the record.
