Get prepared to welcome more flag-draped coffins home.

They will be arriving by Christmas.

More of America’s sons & daughters are going to be slain in Afghanistan.

You remember that American Sniper movie?  Be prepared for more of the same.

That's a wrap on Downtown Women's Holistic Health Center.

I don't remember my 2012 slang very well - was this an actual thing people said?

"You're eggs is prego."

There are so many things wrong with that sentence, my brain just imploded.

Still, at least it was a "closed belly" shower.

What does that mean?

Aw, I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED.

BEHOLD!!

The "P...

Jared has wanted Freya for a long time, and he knows the beauty she is inside and out, even if she has a bit of an attitude. That’s all for him, and he wants every inch of her.

Freya’s had a crush on Jared all of her life. Only she doesn’t believe any man can be...

I was supposed to give a talk about Tess of the Road at a library (which was also a piano bar, as is so often the case). The place was full of friends from high school (who were also construction workers, because of course they were). I entered the witness box, next to the piano, and the piano as...

My recent post where I argued Cyberpunk would in outlive Steampunk proved to be rather controversial. I have not had that many responses (via æthermail, Facebook and comments) to something I published on the blog in a while, like, years…

Additionally, my friend Bonsart of Radio Retrofuture publish...

Donald Trump’s speech on Afghanistan will briefly turn the media spotlight onto America’s longest war. Much of the media analysis will undoubtedly be about how the speech impacts Trump politically. Given the events of the past week, it seems unlikely that Democratic pundits will repeat their inan...

Two things happened this weekend.

1. I joined Instagram. (Because… peer pressure.)

2. I got my box of RENEGADES ARCs! Which means… it is time for me to start giving them away!

In honor of my being apparently the last person on the planet to join the Instagram bandwagon, I wanted to do a big #WinR...

If all has gone according to plan, I’m currently ensconced in the path of totality watching the start of the solar eclipse. I’ll let you know how that goes!

Meanwhile, some things got posted while I was out:

URBAN ENEMIES, a new anthology edited by Joseph Nassise, includes my story “Bellum Romanum....

The word vicarious is extremely important to our understanding of the atonement of Christ. The late Swiss theologian Karl Barth once said that, in his judgment, the single most important word in all of the Greek New Testament is the minuscule word huper. This little word is translated by the Engl...

[With apologies to Dylan Thomas – I owe you a drink in the Pearly Gates Tavern, my friend.]

The silly season, so time for a silly blog…

The subject of record offices has cropped up here many times, most notably in the case of the byzantine saga of Carmarthenshire’s archives, and most recently i...

Oh yes indeed I LOVE this. 

Lynx I love cats. I always have. I grew up with them which I know makes a huge difference in terms of having an affection for the feline species. I’ve also been fascinated by the ‘big’ cats in our world, … Continue reading →

The post Lynx appeared first on Caris Roane.

It’s hard to describe how I am feeling at this moment. I know for certain I am relieved that I can finally start writing about this yet I do not feel Justice has been served. As the father of a rape victim will I ever feel justice has been served? 

First off I want it to be noted that Shawn Johnso...

I pulled my truck off to the side of the dirt road as soon as I saw the lights of the trailer up ahead. It looked to be about a quarter mi...

[image error]Yum! Those of you who’ve been reading my blog/newsletter for a while will remember my rapturous discovery of cornbread. Cue angel music and golden light. I love the stuff. Well, the other day I looked at all the lemons in a bowl on the kitchen counter (the tree is in over-production...

In the delightful Caf�� Sybille on what is still the Karl Marx Allee in East Berlin (but once had a more sinister name) you may view a piece of Stalin���s left ear. It is a chunk of bronze, salvaged from the huge idol of the Soviet tyrant which once stood in the capital of East Germany, but which...
