Blog postA while back, when I lived in the DC area, I complained about the aggressive and douchebag-like driving technics of those around me. Since then, I have moved and for a while everything was fine. My commute was a brief eight minute drive through suburban streets. It was a pleasure to drive in the mornings.
However, I changed jobs and started commuting thirtyish minutes downtown, where the style of driving mimicked that of the DC beltway. I bring you my whining about shittier, as

The other day I was blindsided by the marketing industry. It seems that I have reached the milestone that one apparently needs to achieve to be marketed to as an old person. I was greeted by this lovely catalog in my mailbox.
I am taking this opportunity to critique this before the loss of my faculties, which as this catalog indicates, is soon impending. This document is written in large font for all of my similarly aged friends.

Okay, so I am revisiting the whole Craigslist topic. In the past, we've explored people selling broken crap like it's new; unreasonable demands for free stuff and various other displays of twisted human behavior. Since Craigslist is an ever-renewable display of human crackheadedness; here is a new, brief, list that I collected.
I begin with the call I always wanted to make.

Blog postFlipping the channels the other day, the discussion arose about premium television and the fate of some shows we watched, the conversation turned to Sesame Street. This groundbreaking show continues despite funding issues, but now premiers new episodes on HBO. Nine months later the shows appear on PBS. Setting aside the fact that the show has been shortened to 30 minutes and the obvious "updates" to the format, I can't see any downside to the arrangement3 years ago Read more

Blog postWhen we think of trees, most times what come to mind is something like this: It's green, serene and not at all unsettling. I grew up with trees like this. Some had acorns, some had pine leaves and pine cones, some had flowers. Even when they were sick, they were not the stuff of nightmares.
Since I moved south, I gained an appreciation for another type of tree:
Again, peaceful and serene. Even in a hurricane, thrashing in a bree

Blog postI know. I'm late to the game. Everyone and their house plants have a blog these days. But screw it. I need as much exposure as possible.
So I've counted this week. Including the six rejections I received, I think six people have read my short stories. I figure at this rate, maybe one hundred people will have read my work before I die.
Now before I get the objections that you, as my friend, read my writing (because let's face it, only my friends will read this blog), I have to3 years ago Read more

Science fiction is NOT a safe space!
In this companion volume to Hazardous Imaginings: The Mondo Book of Politically Incorrect Science Fiction, fourteen stories by Ian Creasey, Andrew Fox, David Wesley Hill, Liam Hogan, Claude Lalumière, and other writers from around the world push the boundaries of what is considered taboo in science fiction. From a society where telling an insult joke is a capital crime to one where letting your faucet drip may cost you your head, from a utopia where inequality and want have been abolished to a hostile planet whose isolated colonists must deal with the aftermath of a sexual assault among their own, these stories pull no punches.
With an introduction by award-winning author Barry N. Malzberg.

Imps & Minions explores the lives of the little guys of villainry, with 34 tales dedicated to servile underlings, mooks, henchmen, pawns, scamps and rapscallions. Whether it's Riznax, the little imp who falls in love with his master's library of ancient tomes, or the poor troll suffering the aftermath of a fairy tale, or the machine programmed to defend her overlord with every microchip in her chassis—in Imps & Minions, they all take center stage. The stories range in tone from whimsical and lighthearted to dark and tragic, and span the genres of fantasy, science fiction, horror, and "superhero", with a few that are harder to classify. Collectively, they provide diverse looks at the complex and multi-faceted lives of imps, minions, and villainous underdogs of all stripes. Above all, they are compelling tales that show us the trials and tribulations of a colourful cast of characters normally relegated to the background—this is Imps & Minions, and these are their stories.

The Outcome of Sin
Jul 20, 2020
$5.99
Becca knows she’s a monster. No amount of philanthropy or repentance can change that fact. Now in her seventies, she’s seen it all and is ready to die. Becca’s survived the world’s near extinction, and witnessed the planet transformed by cosmological catastrophe into an unfamiliar landscape and sky. She's seen it all, but nothing prepared her for what was to come next.
As a result of an ill-conceived suicide attempt, Becca’s life takes a major turn towards the bizarre. She downs a chemical cocktail containing tequila, tranquilizers, and an experimental neurological drug. The combination should have destroyed all brain activity; instead she awakens to find herself, and society around her changing.
Not only is she still alive, but she’s better than she was before. Becca discovers that she is getting smarter; and odder yet, she’s getting younger.
And she’s not alone. Reports are coming in of other people gaining youth and unusual abilities from the neurological drug.
Now, physically fifty years younger and a virtual super-genius, she is absorbed into the absurd and irrational world of the newly emerging superhero lifestyle. Becca struggles to solve the mystery of who killed scientific progress, and what their sinister plans really are. And she has to do all of this without knowing with any certainty of who the actual good guys are. Soon she is forced to come to terms with her past actions; struggle with her own identity in the present; and accept a fight to save a future that she never expected to see.
