What a lot of people seem to know intrinsically but may not think about is that the new front line of the culture war is digital. Ironically, that digital frontier is where YOU, the user, have the most power. You don’t have to march, you don’t have to donate, you don’t even have to leave […]

Look, I’ve really tried to keep this blog neutral, apolitical, and uncontroversial, but I can’t keep this one down. It’s no secret that I am not now, have never been, and will never be a fan of the incoming president. If you want to discount my opinion off the top because of that–that I have

Times are getting hard. Everyone knows that Twitter has been a dumpster fire since even before “that guy” took over, and I found no real use for it. TikTok was tremendously unwelcoming to me.

It has really taken me a while to process everything and, frankly, to make sure I wasn’t going to succumb to Con Crud. When you first really think, “Hey, maybe I’ll become a successful published author,” there are things that you imagine as parts of what success looks like. Book tours, jetting across the country,

Really, it wasn’t how I wanted to start my day. First of all, let me say how excited I am to be participating in the Pop-Up BookShoppe at GalaxyCon Columbus. To be there with so many famous names and faces, not to mention some other fantastic authors, is a great honor. I’m thrilled to have

I’ve been thinking again about life, the universe, and everything. I’m closer to 50 than not, and it’s only natural to think about what was or could have been as you approach another milestone. I was reminded of an old blog post I made on another site years ago, and thought about it again this
