Saving my rotting cactus update – over 4.5 years later!
I’ve just made an update video about my 14 year-old cactus! It’s been over 4.5 years since my cactus was first cut to save it from rotting (top AND roots were cut off!), and almost a year since the last video.
See how its doing now:
There’s 10 videos in the series about my cactus and how I saved it: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE3C42EC133017FC5
I also wrote a book about it! “Saving My Rotting Cactus” (ebook or paperback) http://amzn.to/1xteqdM available and in most online book stores.

Are D.U.M.B.s (Deep Underground Military Bases) real?

I was asked recently where I got the idea for my series of novels set in D.U.M.B.s (Deep Underground Military Bases).
I had to respond that it’s because I heard about these things and they’re real! I find them fascinating! What better place to set a sci-fi adventure action story in?
I’ve long had an interest in hidden things…and those things hidden under our feet may be the most fascinating of all!
For many years, I’ve been a fan of the radio late at night, getting scared listening to spooky topics on Coast to Coast AM, from way back in the Art Bell days—the original host and creator of the show. One of the frequent topics on the show was, and still is, secret underground military bases, or D.U.M.B.s.
And Grey aliens invading the Earth!
I took these two subjects and put them together in my series of novels, starting with Greyland: D.U.M.B.s (Deep Underground Military Bases) – Book 1. Yes, the title is a nod to the secretive military base known as Area 51 in the Nevada desert, nicknamed “Dreamland.”
Area 51 is officially denied to exist, even though many people have been there and seen it, claim to have worked inside it, and have taken photos of it (which have been posted online). Dreamland has long been rumored to be a testing ground for exotic, experiential aircraft, and even UFOs (both human-built and alien crafts that have been captured) and a repository of Grey aliens, some maybe alive, some maybe stored in freezers stories below the desert sand, where who-knows-what goes on…
Dreamland is also the name of another radio show that Art Bell started, currently hosted by Whitley Strieber. Strieber was one of the first authors who wrote about his experiences with Greys (see his book Communion).
There are a number of underground bases that have been publicly admitted to exist in the USA by official sources, such as:
Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center, Virgina
Cheyenne Mountain Complex, Colorado
Colorado Springs – NORAD, Colorado
Under the White House, Washington, D.C.
Camp David, Maryland
DIPEF underground facility, Kansas
Raven Rock Mountain Complex, Pennsylvania
This is only a partial list of verified, publicly-known underground bases. Imagine what bases exist in secret, all over the world!
And not only under the ground, but under the sea! It boggles the mind when you start to think about it.
One of the first people to break the story about real underground and undersea military bases, and probably the first to write about them, was Richard Sauder. His impressive, documented research into their existence has resulted in a series of factual books. His initial book Underground Bases and Tunnels: What is the Government Trying to Hide? was published in 1996.
He has told the tale in radio interviews of how he followed the paper trail of publicly available, non-classified documents, and gathered evidence that proves that these bases do exist. Take a look at his excellent work if you want to learn about the real world of underground and undersea bases.
Writing about these sort of bases, being in the mindset of them, and aliens, for weeks at a time gave me the chills!
If you like this sort of thing, I invite you to give my books a try, starting with Greyland: D.U.M.B.s (Deep Underground Military Bases) – Book 1 http://amzn.to/2bOON2U

The weather here today
It’s about 35C here today.
The weather here today:
Going outside is like slipping into a Hot Fudge Sunday – that’s boiling!
Being outside today is like a preview of Hell.
Stepping outside is like falling into a bowl of hot soup, without the croutons (those are the hail that comes from the thunderstorms at this time of year – yikes!).
Stepping outside is like walking into a hot towel – nice if you want a free sauna.
Going outside today is like being in a giant’s armpit.
Going outside today is like being in the sun’s armpit.
(More to come as I think of them…)

Finished a new novel
I finished a new novel today, always a good feeling!
Now, I’m going to let it sit for a short while before correcting typos and getting it formatted. Stephen King recommends this in his book On Writing, and I think it’s a good idea. I was doing this before I read about it from King, but it’s nice to get confirmation of this.
This book is a stand-alone title (so far, with no plans for a sequel at present). It’s a paranormal-mystery-action type of story. I don’t want to say too much about it yet, until it’s ready to be published. It’s about 40,000 words.
Next, I’m going to get back to writing the 6th book in my D.U.M.B.s series, which I’ve already made a start on.
