A number of years ago I asked myself a question when watching an alien invasion movie. What if humanity lost the war? And after all when faced with a race capable of reaching our planet with war weapons... it would be silly to think we would win. From that question and one more (namely: what … Continue reading What if the Aliens won?

This is What Mental Illness Looks Like
This is what mental illness looks like: I am not ashamed. I have Bipolar disorder (or depression depending on which of my many psychiatrists you ask.) My disorder is not a secret. I don’t hide it from friends and family, but neither do I broadcast it. That doesn’t mean I’m ashamed. Someone with a physical … Continue reading This is What Mental Illness Looks Like

Critiquing is an art that’s learned, (a … Continue reading Accepting a Knife to the Kidneys (With a Smile)

On the opposite side, I got a few of my short stories in condition to start sending out and *crossed fingers* maybe not only get rejections. … Continue reading Halloweeeeeen is coming

The upcoming book is Spider's Gambit. Its all outlined (as much as I ever outline). Now I'm starting the part I like least.
