I am delighted to report that I have sold another story, "Drowning in Monstrosity," which will soon appear in Black Cat Weekly. It stars my roguish far-future character, Rali Ribhu. This is the 7th story featuring him that will have been published. I'll do an anthology of them at some point.📚🪐💙📚

I think the Senate Judiciary Hearing today, where they tried…in vain…to smear Jack Smith, was better than anything else that could have taken place to boost voter turnout for democracy. I think it reminded a lot of people just how much they hate these swindlers…and why.

I talk about that evil thing as often as I can. The main author of Project 2025 and is sitting in the WH writing executive orders on everything that must be done to complete the destruction of democracy. And all Trump does is sign his name then Vought explains to him what he just signed.

I have been re-reading Doc Smith's LENSMAN books after like 60 years. You know, they're actually not bad. So far he's done a good job on the WWI, WWII and WWIII sequences. It's real planet-busting stuff in later sections, but the early history of Earth (Atlantis and Rome) is pretty solid writing. 🪐📚

I am pleased to announce that Black Cat Weekly has accepted my story, "Huck Finn Goes West," for publication later this year. Huck and Jim head West into Indian territory, but what they find there is something no-one could have expected. 🪐📚

I have sold another story. "The Cage" will appear in the inaugural issue of BETASCAPE MAGAZINE. The editor said, "The way the narrative handles the sudden shift in perspective—turning a quantum phenomenon into a pressure cooker of identity and choice—made it an absolute standout." 🪐📚
