The Glorious Adventures of Glamorous Prince Dietrich has been published
There are heroes. There are anti-heroes. And then, there’s Prince Dietrich. Freshly returned to Monrich from his little escapade of war and deception, the newly wed Prince Dietrich—Dick to his friends—just wants to be left alone, so he can gamble, drink and keep on wishing for the early demise of his father.

The Glorious Prince Dietrich glorious cover
We are only days away from the fabulous publication of the second book in my (un)humorous series Woes & Hose (geddit, geddit?). The book aptly-titled The Glorious Adventures of Glamorous Prince Dietrich is undergoing final treatment ere it goes live. For the time being, we have a mighty cover to consider, to wit: That’s the most punchable face ever, don’t you agree. This splendid piece of art was created by legendary Anton Kokarev, who has designed the covers for all...

The Glorious Adventures cover
The second book in the Woes & Hose series is coming along nicely. There’s a cover! A glorious cover for The Glorious Adventures of Glamorous Prince Dietrich. As always, designed by legendary Anton Kokarev. I asked him for an appropriate sequel to the first book, plus an even more punchable face for our anti-hero protagonist. To wit, the results. I am really happy about this book. Writing silly fiction is fun. There’s nothing worse than taking oneself too seriously. Hopefully,...

The final tally is as follows: – Posted about 200 technical articles, each roughly 5,000 words in...

The Hunt
Ho ho ho! Crimson Streets has just published my holiday-themed short story The Hunt. As it goes, Santa Claus gets arrested for burglary. While trying to save the world. On Halloween. Wearing flip-flops. “Your name?” “Nicholas Sinteklaas.” The investigator frowned, his expression one of well-practiced skepticism. “That’s a Dutch name.” “That it is,” Nicholas said, pulling a deep smoke. “You don’t look Dutch, you don’t sound Dutch.” Nicholas blew the smoke at the policeman. “I’m from Aruba, off...
