A Serialized New Year “It’s supposed to be short, that’s why it’s serialized.” There, I just wanted to say it…Excerpt: 107 AWM, the abbreviation stood for, After Worlds Merge, merge—ha! But that’s what they called it, they meaning just about every human but me. I called it as I saw it, an inter-dimensional hostile takeover, […]
A RyFT Brand-Protest
Never saw this coming. At a recent appearance I was protested by an angry mob; assumedly over my lack of new material for my serials, PeeDee3: Intergalactic, Insectoid, Assassin, and Jazz: Monster Collector. It’s my own fault, I did leave the stories hanging in limbo (in PeeDee3’s case, literally) for many months now. […]
Free PeeDee3

Less Inspiration, More Interruption
Steven King described the act of writing as more like archeology than imagination (rough draft, anyway). He says that stories are found things dug carefully and skillfully from the earth.

The Genesis of PeeDee3
This just in, PeeDee3, episode 2 has just gone out. But how? I mean the last we saw the bug was as dead as a doorknob. Of course you’ll have to read the story and find out, just don’t expect some brilliant twist of plot here—I’ve merely applied a liberal dose of my favorite substance, […]
Please Read Carefully
This would be the equivalent of the National Species Ad Council running a promotion, “Homo erectus has existed for over a hundred-thousand years and homo sapien has just arrived, so let’s all stick with the proven winner. Well, we know how that turned out.
