Another release day, and another Underground story in an anthology! My short story contribution, Whiskey in the Jar--once showcased with my Jeff Gerke interview in an old version of wherethemapends.com--is about technology being used to simulate a spiritual experience.





Aquasynthesis Again is by Splashdown book authors. Publisher Grace Bridges says, "The FIRST person to grab this ebook and

Dusk, a GMO housecat the size of a small mountain lion, flexes his claws in the Underground tale named for him. This is but one contribution to this anthology offering from Seventh Star Press:


Dusk was inspired by Wu, who left us June 13th, but shares his mustache markings and intrepidness:

only through love.” ~ Carl Sagan



I love Christmas snow. This one had flakes that sank
straight from the night sky. Two inches accumulated on tree limbs, and slush
splashed from my beater Mazda’s tires. Carols played on the radio, sailing my
heart already moved from my holiday shopping trip into town. The back seat rustled

I'm published at Spec Faith today, asking the literary question, "Could it be that the price we have paid for our technology is upon us, we don’t realize it, and the arts are warning us?" READ IT NOW!

In 2011 Forbes published The Four Companies That Control The 147 Companies That Own Everything, so the oligarchy (rule by small group of elites), is old news.

Proverbs 23: 7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he . . . 





Assume for a moment, us old-Earth creationists are right. Can human evolution be sped simply by our ability to reason and understand? The heart "thinks", so scientifically, yes. Take the full half-hour to watch this--it's truly amazing.

Vancouver's Million Mask March went down as a nice peaceful protest, as did most in around 477 cities all over the globe. Only in D.C., in front of the White House, did I hear of any arrests. Vancouver had a powerful sound system that intermittently played music with thoughtful and, in Big Brother's eyes, revolutionary ideas. Mics are allowed at Canadian protests, so folks took turns on an

You know how more than half the population of Egypt demonstrated at once and demanded government for the people? Tired of bought government that spies on its own citizens? Tired of those with the gold making the rules? Celebrate Guy Fawkes Day, Tuesday, by packing a picnic lunch and going for a walk with me. I don't have a Guy Fawkes mask, but I do have a bandanna (which is tricky because

It is said you don’t
know what you have until it’s gone. That’s especially true of health. I don’t
like talking about my ill health—I’m about selling books on quality, not sympathy. The following is a
rant (about which I'm not happy because it's 500 words that could have been in my WIP), so you have probably got better things to read anyhow.

I'm writing more these days (yea!), and on Facebook less, but you can usually catch me on FB after my creativity is fried (between five and eight PM Pacific time). Fans of the Underground series need to be patient, because I'm working through some stuckness with Lost Zone. My current writing is on a totally different novel--an animal fantasy like Watership Down and Animal Farm--but with a
