Deadlines. I love deadlines!

Oh, sure, fans and first readers motivate me, too. "Where's my sequel?" asks one of my favorite fans, nearly every day, and that often motivates me to push forward.

Delighted that you'd like to read these stories. Thanks for asking.

"Blades" was the Willamette Writers Conference Kay Snow First Place Winner in 1992. It is available online, for FREE, at smashwords. Here's the link: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view....

"It Might be Sunlight" was first published in Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine, in 1993. Readers have been contacting me for twenty years, asking for a reprint, telling me it's their favorite short story. They lent it or lost it, and they want another copy. I admit it's one of my favorites, too.

It is available from Amazon or Createspace, but in hard-copy only, for reasons I'll explain to you in private correspondence, if you're interested. Just drop me a note.

Here are those links:

The R⌀ and Why it Matters

What is the coronavirus R0? And how does it help guide as as to what happens next, and where the pandemic is going? On your block, neighborhood, city--and world?

Simply put, R0 is how many people one infected person can infect on average.

But it is a changing and context-dependent number, not a constant.

It's important to understand what it is, and what it is not.

The Girl Who Saved The King Of Sweden by Jonas Jonasson
Rate this book
Clear rating
A vivid, delicious adventure, with characters who are easy to care for.

Jonasson writes about astonishingly dire events, yet somehow keeps the story light, sweet, and fun.

And also touches on important issues.

A good read!
