I make things out of words. Science-Fiction author sharing work completed, planned, and currently in procrastination. Also sharing shameless self-promotion. Now seeking an agent, and I make that no secret. Glad to have you along for the ride!

Just got my last two stories back from my editor. Only a handful of edits need to be made (HOORAY!). That gets done on Sunday. The book is on the home stretch. Projected release is no later than mid-November.

I really like that he mentions statistical calculation, which tells me he actually knows how the technology works

Welcome to October, the month of Halloween. I think of this month, and Ray Bradbury is the first name that comes to mind. Boris Karloff is the second, followed by Bela Lugosi, Vincent Price, Orson Welles and the rest of the gang. Cheers to you all, and happy literary hauntings!

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, working at a desk. A brain next to her says, "We need to take breaks!"
The second panel zooms in on Sarah's face. She is annoyed. She says, "What if I don't listen to you?"
The third panel shows the brain smiling.
The fourth panel shows the brain reaching towards a lever. The brain says, "I'LL MAKE YOU."

Late posting but here's the promised trivia. At the end of every book I write, I say a thank you to a celebrity who had nothing at all to do with the book, but who I think helped inspire me somehow. In this book, I gave a shout out to Mark Hamill. MH, if you see this, thank you! #Booksky #MarkHamill

And, because my TBR pile didn't have NEARLY enough of the old pulp magazines, here are some beautiful finds from an antique shop. I also found a copy of Scientific American, ca 1922.

Preparing to wrap up my latest work and send it off for publishing and printing. One quick read-through remains. I'm planning a release date in less than a month. If history is any guide, I should find all the typos that managed to hide through multiple edits about two days after the books are out
