Okay, Wendy wasn’t the only one steering the porcelain bus Sunday night. My brother-in-law and 8-year-old niece also got in on the act. Apparently, something foul hit everyone after our visit to a local eatery…and I do mean foul. In fact, I ended up whisking Wendy to the Emergency Room at the local hospital at [...]

Recently, I got some good advice that it might help my overall time management if I took a day off from the usual tasking…so today, I did! Other than this blog and a few e-mails, I wrote nothing, nada, zilch. Instead, I spent the day with my wife, my brother and sister in law, and [...]

No matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to manage my time properly. I make to-do lists, and they stack up and get misplaced. I make schedules, and they too disappear in the clutter. So many important things get lost by the wayside. Of course, I’m proud to say I’ve worked steadily on my [...]

The Big Stink rolled into town after six months of living high on the hog in Barbados, burning through every red cent he’d taken the last time he was on the local circuit. Everyone just stayed clear the first day or two, hoping and praying ol’ Stink would get bored and move on…but of course [...]

Lots to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, like family, health, work, and writing…but don’t think I’m leaving you out. Thanks to each and every one of you for reading this blog, taking an interest in my stories and projects, and following up with comments and e-mails. I appreciate your efforts every day of the year, [...]

Monday morning, a black cat crossed my path on my way to work. The bad luck has been with me ever since. What a crappy two days. One hassle after another; one unpleasant encounter after another. The writing rejections, especially, have been flowing freely. Typically, I get one or two a day anyway, but these [...]

Time to announce a new story, I think. This one’s slated for the upcoming anthology, Edison’s Frankenstein, from PS Publishing in England. Edison’s Frankenstein is actually the latest iteration of PS Publishing’s wonderful Postscripts, a compendium of excellent science fiction, fantasy, and other unique fiction. This volume will combine Postscripts #20 and 21, with each [...]

When my plane touched down in Rome this morning, my assistant Hogshead said the same thing he’d said the last 45 days in a row: Is this the place, m’lud? Do you think you’ll find them here? And I told him the same thing I always told him: It’ll all come out in the wash, faithful [...]

So this is it, the big Thanksgiving week already. Unbelievable. Time is flying by so fast, I can barely catch my breath sometimes. Best thing to do is duck your head and muscle through it. Also, stay clear of the stores during Black Friday and Christmas shopping madness. Though I must admit, I’m looking forward to [...]

Seems like my whole family’s in motion or about to be right now. My brother, Scott, just got back from a weeklong business trip to Germany. My folks are heading for Florida. Wendy and I are the only ones stuck at home. We should’ve been in Philadelphia this weekend for the big Philcon science fiction [...]
