Onward Into 2023
Onward In 2023 After one hell of a year full of changes in 2021, this last year was comparatively stable (lingering pandemic notwithstanding).

Service Dogs, Griffins, and Heroes
Service Dogs, Griffins, and Heroes The griffins in An Entanglement of Griffins, my story in Pets in Space 7, are an adventurous lot. They are bold, delightful, mischievous, and utterly charming. Griffins might qualify as emotional support animals, if you don't mind that they'll get into anything and everything. They can't help it. That kind […]

More Fun with A.I. Art
More Fun with A.I. Art A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about my adventures with A.I. art. This is a followup with more images and more lessons learned. I've mostly had more fun with A.I. art, but I'm also discovering its limitations. And my limitations, too. Prompts: The Key to Success Prompts are […]
