I thought Ted Lasso season 4 was a terrible idea, but it's been a really good watch so far. And it makes Wednesday nights fun, which is a plus in these crazy days. It's way better watching weekly than bingeing it all one or two chomps.

Guys, listen... this is really, really simple: When one of your buddies says or does something f*cked up, you tell them it's f*cked up. This is, like, being the most basic, not terrible, human being 101. Got it?

This was an interesting, unpredictable story. It’s cool to read a story where you have no idea where it’s gonna go, and you have no problem with it. Great last line, too.

New novel coming October 1st!
New Novel Coming October 1st I’ve got some BIG NEWS: coming from UnWrecked Press on October 1st is my paranormal mystery / supernatural thriller entitled The Finder!! (You might've heard me talking about it here, off and on...) This novel is the culmination of years of work and thinking and planning (and procrastinating!) for me, as it’s not only the third book in my Finder Team series, but it’s ALSO the third book in my “rural fantasy’ Family Pack series.

Just wrote a bunch of words on a new story after almost two months of no new words (tons of copy-edits and website work, plus the craziness of my first Kickstarter). It took a while to get going, but it was NICE to write again. Also, I rolled over 100k words this week!
A progress bar shows 101,200 out of 180,000 words completed (56% done) for a word count goal. The bar is over halfway filled in blue.

From last night, a double rainbow! Looks like the pot of gold should’ve been in our chicken coop. But I checked, and gold was NOT what I found…
A double rainbow shines over our farm, appearing to end right at our chicken coop. A Friesian looks on, unimpressed.More of those double rainbows. They were too big to fit all in one photo.

(Sorry for the lack of actual "content" and life updates and whatnot here. I'm deep in the final stages of cleaning up the last of the copy-edits of my novel, and it's fun but painful but time-consuming but rewarding and it's never gonna end.)

This ought to be a great collection -- his story at @brownhoundpress.bsky.social this year was great.
Cover of the collection Sarcophagus by R. Hunter Whitworth, featuring a red cliff over a blue ocean, done up in a sparse style reminiscent of 1970s book covers.

The dogs could always sense that he wasn't a dog person, and they'd come right up to him like he was wearing raw-hamburger cologne, ready to attack or play. Usually both at the same time. (From the Prologue to The Finder -- made me chuckle again when I saw it...) #booksky

A Short(ish) History of The Finder
We've got less than a day left on my Kickstarter launch for my new book, The Finder. First off, thanks to EVERYONE for support my work! You are awesome. (And if you've been trying to decide if you want to pledge to the Kickstarter, now's the day to decide!) In the meantime, I've been wanting to share my "brief" history of this novel for while now, so I figured today was the perfect day for it.
