  • Echo-A Dystopian Science Fiction Novel

    Thank You Barbara and Leslie for buying volume 2 on Amazon!  🙂 🙂 :)!  First day I’ve sold 4 books since last August!  (Now I’m terrified of what they’ll think of volume 2-it is essentially like Mad Max Fury Road; all character development happens in the middle of a giant battle).  Currently wrestling with the…

  • Echo Announcement

    Okay, I was going to save this announcement for later, because I’m still wrasslin’ with Smashwords to convert Echo Volume 2 into Nook, iBooks, Smashwords itself, and other formats, but Echo Volume 2 is out on Amazon!  Whoever just bought a copy of Echo volume 1 and 2 on Amazon today,  Thank You!  🙂 🙂…

    IMHO, existence will get its 100% out of us, one way or another.  We can either choose to give it willingly and freely, in which case our effort may be rewarded with greatness, or we can choose to procrastinate and hold on to petty comforts, in which case our reticence will be punished by consequence.…

    In the not too distant future, the world is torn asunder from fast food companies that have risen to power.  Faceless corporate goons have chased me down in hover scooters.  One is trying to force a mostly synthetic cheeseburger (with half life of 1432 years) down my throat.  In desperation, I throw my eReader down…

    The idea that nature is solely “feel-good” beauty is ignorance:  Incest, cannibalism, and the worst degree of cruelty are present in nature.  Indeed, outside of Earth, most of nature appears to be incredibly lethal.  I see a similar aversion in some spiritualists, those who wish to hide behind robes and vaunted displays of etiquette.  I…

    The proactive pursuit of personal capability/resilience-without someone mandating it-is far more valuable than the paltry reward of “working for yourself.”  This rarefied pursuit offers more than tawdry wealth or lifestyle; at the deepest levels, it offers agency.  It offers freedom. Such exalted pursuits-whatever form they may take-bestow more than the mere title of “boss.”  They…

    I’m at the DMV trying to clear up registration issues.  Five hours have passed and they say it’s going to be another five.  Mind.  Melting.  Can’t.  Keep.  Holding.  On.  My eReader, open to Echo, flashes with magic light.  Suddenly, a horse-sized Labrador gallops in.  Eyes widen, mouths open in shock.  The dog speaks to me:…

    I love simplicity; the clean lines of Japanese architecture/weaponry, a well-designed piece of tech, that magic clause or phrase that fully encapsulates meaning… The ironic thing is, in order to produce this clarity, the creator must often delve into complexity.  To repeatedly bring forth results, he/she must know the precise combination of elements that work,…

    Hanging out with a girl.  She watched my shows last time, now I have to watch hers; you know how it goes-the Old Routine.  Five hours of chick flick later, I swear my eyeballs are going to bleed.  Heavy, maddening beats of my heart fill my ears.  My eReader, open to Echo, flashes in a magical…

    The idea that the Universe will reward a good idea without the accompanying hustle/diligence is like depending on the lottery as one’s only source of income.  Always hustle.
