Walter Minion's Secret Life
The book entitled "Walter Minion's Secret Life" is not my work. I think the author may be Patrick D. T. O'Connor.
No confusion was intended, but originality with first names is not an Irish virtue. So, there are a lot of other O'Connors with my first name and middle initial. Even authors...
Can this title be removed from my list and can someone check if it's Patrick D. T. O'Connor's opus? If it is, he deserves the credit!

I live in Chicago and am 72 years old.
Somebody please check how this got included with my books? I'm sure it's a mix-up...

Graphic Novel Format
My HaChii Concatenation Trilogy is now available on Amazon as a series of three Graphic Novels.
My inspiration for drawing style came from reading Silver Age DC comics in the 1950's, so it may not look anything like manga--
If that's what you're expecting, this will be different--

Haven't been Idle
I wrote another seven books since last I posted. They have just gone up on Amazon Kindle books and until they were up and running, I didn't feel like I had anything to report.
Well--now there is:
1. The HaChii Commencement Series
What was the past that led to the HaChii Concatenation? These four books show how HaChii and Terran cultures intersection began.
2. The HaChii Concatenation Series
These were the three books I published in 2010, detailing what resulted when a HaChii and Terran working together mining an asteroid 'got friendly.' The total was more than the sum of its parts...
3. The HaChii Convergence Series
What happens when the Terran-HaChii hybrids start to share their powers with the rest of the Galaxy? The last three books of the HaChii Convocation Decalogy follow the events from two planets to the Multiverse...
The seven new books of series 1. and 3. lead from the near-future to the 4th Millennium, from people and artificial people to a union of all the intelligent life throughout the Galaxy, and a multitude of alternate versions of this Galaxy, as well.

Halloween with Neil Gaiman
A group of us from Chicago are going up to Spring Green, Wisconsin for a get-together with author Neil Gaiman at the House on the Rock. If you have read "American Gods" you will recognize the reason for that venue.
Neil has offered a ride on the giant merry-go-round to the participant who comes in costume and is the best match to one of the characters from the story. Everybody has told me I *am* Mr. Wednesday, so I'll go prepared to pass for the American version of the Norse god Woden.
I figure my odds of getting a spin on the carousel are low, but it will give me an excuse to flirt with the younger girls.

Windycon 37
Getting ready for Windycon 37 in Chicago, in November. Our group of a dozen-or-so costumers from the Chicagoland Costumers' Guild will be trying to develop costumes for the Masquerade, following a theme of 'pun costumes of the fae' and such themes as 'Staten Island Fairy,' 'Fairy Godfather' and 'Diet Sprite.'
