A Jaunty Young Man

We grow older and so do they. Albeit The Wild ages along different timelines than we do. I’ve often wondered about versipellics (shapeshifters). I’ve known a few and when they shift they don’t become an animal the same age as they themselves before the shift. Makes me wonder why, when they shift back, they don’t … Continue reading "A Jaunty Young Man"

“Those Wings Which Tire, They Have Upheld Me” now in Best of Penumbric Speculative Fiction Mag, vol vi

It’s amazingly gratifying when editors and publishers consider one’s work worthy of “Best Of” status, and I’m quite proud of The Wings Which Tire, They Have Upheld Me for many reasons: The haunted house I mention existed (never learned if it was haunted) about half a mile from where I grew up. I knew Lenny … Continue reading "“Those Wings Which Tire, They Have Upheld Me” now in Best of Penumbric Speculative Fiction Mag, vol vi"

A Handsome Albeit Fuzzy Fellow

We are blessed with a constant and still shy visitor. Still unnamed. Think that’s why he’s blurry? Maybe doesn’t know who he is yet? Perhaps his parents haven’t decided yet. They should do so soon, though. We do appreciate most people would simply yell, “Hey! A Coyote!” but that would be unkind, don’t you think? … Continue reading "A Handsome Albeit Fuzzy Fellow"

My Podbean “What The Book” talk with Dzintra Sullivan, Peyton Storm, Sean Frazier, et al was a riot

I got a chance to chat with Dzintra Sullivan, Peyton Storm, Sean Frazier, and a host of others over the past weekend. For me, lots of learning and laughing (a good combination). You’d have to ask the others what their take on it was. You can listen to the episode on What the Book. The … Continue reading "My Podbean “What The Book” talk with Dzintra Sullivan, Peyton Storm, Sean Frazier, et al was a riot"

First, my newest novel, The Shaman, will be published 30 Sept 2023. You can get a taste of The Shaman on my blog. Second, you can pre-order The Shaman on Amazon (I’d be thrilled if you did.

A Handsome Fellow

A joy is when the young come to us to feast. Not to feast on us, of course. More to enjoy the bounty we provide. Here, a handsome Coyote has deemed us worthy of an investigation. As yet unnamed – he’s shy – we suspect he’s one of Erasmus‘ children as The Mighty E, we … Continue reading "A Handsome Fellow"
