Until recently, if you’d asked me if I ever wanted to make falafel at home, I’d have said “sure, one day” but what I meant was “nah, why bother?” I was certain that falafel was fussy to make and had a long ingredient list. It probably related in some way to a fritter, meaning that it was bound w...

Άλλη μια χρονιά, τελειώνει, άλλη μια σοδειά βιβλία διαβάστηκαν, άλλη μια λίστα προέκυψε, γιατί η αξιολόγηση είναι σημαντικό πράγμα και όταν θες ιδέες για να πάρεις δώρα οι λίστες βολεύουν. Φέτος, όπως θα παρατηρήσετε, η λίστα περιέχει ελάχιστη λογοτεχνία. Όχι επειδή δεν διάβασα λογοτεχνία (αφο...

Companies increasingly use digital technologies to circumvent distributors and enter into direct relationships with their end-users. These relationships can create efficient new sales channels and powerful feedback mechanisms or unlock entirely new business models. But they also risk alienatin...

So some quick stuff tonight.

First off, still a spot, maybe two, in the mentor program. I might be convinced to go to four, but no more and right now there are two who are in. So still open. Write me if you want information. Information two posts back and it will be a l...

The next generation is growing up amid—and inheriting—vast wealth. Even many children in Christian families don’t see their parents give and are not taught and encouraged to give themselves. So they become keepers and accumulators, and essentially self-preoccupied materialists. They see the worl...

Virginia Stephen first met Leonard Woolf while visiting her brother Thoby at Trinity College at Cambridge in 1900. She wore a white dress and carried a parasol, looking like “the most Victorian of Victorian young ladies,” as Leonard described her. Leonard and Virginia Woolf, as she would later be...

Okay let’s start with the most important news of them all: yesterday I took a photo of a red-tailed hawk firing a rocket of pee-poo out of its clearly weaponized cloaca.

Yes, I know, I know —

You’re welcome.

Seriously, I was sitting here in the shed and the hawk — who I assume is a lady, as she is g...

There isn’t much to tell you about by way of Kindle deals today. We’ll hope for better things over the weekend.

More than any other filmmakers, the Coen brothers have wormed their way into my everyday. The Hudsucker Proxy is my all-time favorite comedy. I often emphasize the “stac” in “obstacle” in reference to O Brother, Where Art Thou? I answer texts with Sidney Musburger’s quick-fire “Sure, sure” ( Huds...

Here I continue my reflections on the birth narratives in the New Testament, with a post on an important aspect of Matthew’s account, central to its claims.

One of the most distinctive aspects of Matthew’s infancy narrative is his insistence that everything that happened was a “fulfillment” of Sc...

Every year for the past few years, I’ve re-written a holiday story through a queer lens, retelling it as a way to retroactively tell stories to my younger self that include people like me. The first year, I wrote “Dolph,” (a retelling of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer). Then I wrote “Frost,” (a r...

WASHINGTON — A conservative federal judge in Texas has ruled the Affordable Care Act “invalid” on the eve of the sign-up deadline for next year. But with appeals certain, even the Trump White House said the law will remain in place for now.

In a 55-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor r...

Continuing my life-list for comics, a list of the writers, artists, colorists, and editors I worked with on story pages. 1977-78 is HERE. Ground rules: I worked on staff at DC from July 1977 to August 1987, and in that time worked with every staffer an...

Hello, everyone! You may notice that your regularly scheduled New Worlds Patreon essay is in a different place this week. That’s because Book View Cafe, its usual home, has been having massive and ongoing problems with Hostgator, which as of me posting this are not resolved. (And even when it see...

I’ve been writing a lot in cafes recently. Well, mostly one cafe, but I’ve dallied with others.

It’s a nice cafe. It’s located next to a bus stop that has a route to most of the places I want to be, which makes it easy to get there and to leave. The round tables are a bit small for a...

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, right?

That time of year when people are busier than ever preparing for family visits, fighting crowds at the mall, wrapping presents, finishing projects, and setting goals, all while trying to bake fruitcakes for n...

Thank you for inviting me to your blog with new release, MM romance, Snowflake Wine.

The story is contemporary gay romance with an edge of fantasy, especially written as a sweet but sexy Christmas treat.
