https://markrhunter.blogspot.com/2026...

Well ... some numbers. How many sales did I make in 2025? I dunno. Somewhere between 500 and 10,000.

10 Random Facts About Me:

https://markrhunter.blogspot.com/2026...

Non writing-related, too. It's not easy to find stuff about me that I haven't already blogged about. No wonder why, years ago, my kids asked me to stop writing about them!

Coming Attractions is free! Um, again:

https://markrhunter.blogspot.com/2026...

I'd like to know if enough people have read it to justify a sequel, so if you've read Coming Attractions, please leave a review. And if you haven't ... hey, it's free.

Flaming Snowblower Update:

https://markrhunter.blogspot.com/2026...

You'll never believe what started the fire. Or maybe you will, because that's how my life goes.

Mark & Emily Hunter go on an off-the-wall, Indy 500-style race to the past, from Paleo-Indians to the Northwest Territory, the the state's formation, wars, and the struggle of people against their environment and each other.

Along the way we encounter killers, heroes, trivia, claims to fame, and of course, Johnny Appleseed. It’s as American as sugar cream pie.

Working Through Retirement Laziness:

https://markrhunter.blogspot.com/2026...

Okay, this week I had the Olympics as an excuse, but next week I'll get busy. I will, TOO.

Olympic Sized Thoughts:

https://markrhunter.blogspot.com/2026...

Just watching the Olympics exhausts me, so instead of competing, I wrote about it ... just like everyone else who has no balance, stamina, or talent.

My Farewell Letter to Dispatch:

https://markrhunter.blogspot.com/2026...

I didn't expect to have mixed feelings, but, after all--34 years! I almost deleted this after reading my daughter Charis Koehl's Facebook post--when did she become a better writer than me?

So, I set fire to my snowblower:

https://markrhunter.blogspot.com/2026...

A puff of smoke, a scream of pain, refusal to work--that was just me. The snowblower did that, too.

Have a laugh for Valentine's Day:

https://markrhunter.blogspot.com/2026...

In addition to being great Valentine's Day gifts (well, some books are), reading is a great excuse for not being outside during winter. And if you've seen the forecast, you know what I mean.

Nostradamus, I wasn't:

https://markrhunter.blogspot.com/2026...

Will my predictions for 2007 come true? No, that wasn't a typo--I meant, did they?

Celebrating Word Counts:

https://markrhunter.blogspot.com/2026...

We all chase that great white whale of perfect writing. Sometimes the writing goes off on a tangent; sometimes the writer has to cut out a lot of their hard work; sometimes aforesaid writer curls into a little ball and cries. Or eats chocolate. Do you have any?

Finally, something AI is good for:

"What if I kept the good stuff from AI spam--and used it for promotion?" What are they going to do, spam my spam of their spam?

I stumbled across a website that lets you compare book prices among various sellers. They have some of our books (ignore Radio Red, that's the older version that we're replacing). I thought people might be interested in it:

In the last two days I got emails from John Grisham, Oprah Winfrey, and Reese Witherspoon, all about how much they're looking forward to discussing book/writing stuff with me.

I'm skeptical.

Mixed Feelings at Retirement Time:

https://markrhunter.blogspot.com/2026...

I'm not really retiring so much as changing jobs: from dispatcher to full time writer.

This Decade Sucks:

https://markrhunter.blogspot.com/2025...

Oh, you think the 20s are going to improve? How cute. The 1920s were much better: They actually roared. Until 1929, anyway.

Stunned by a Songwriter's Note:

https://markrhunter.blogspot.com/2025...

In which I hear from, if not a famous songwriter, someone who wrote a very famous song. Also, everyone gets sick. Again.

I couldn't live without her, although there are times she'd like to kill me.

An Ode To Odious Winter:

https://markrhunter.blogspot.com/2025...

Winter makes me wax poetic, and also gives my fingers a waxy coating of ice. The prose is purple, just like my skin.

Coming Attractions, and the anthologies I'm in, are free on Smashwords this month:

https://markrhunter.blogspot.com/2025...

Okay so--"again". But it's still a free book, so Merry Christmas! Leave cookies and milk for Santa, and reviews for authors.

Years ago I had a tape of classical music with one piece that was my absolute favorite--then I lost the tape, and couldn't remember the name.

This morning I was editing my novel Radio Red for reissue--it was originally published eight years ago--and guess what classical piece a character plays? Yep. Dvorak's Slavonic Dance No. 4 in F Major, Op. 46, you guessed right!

Radio Red Is On the Front Burner:

https://markrhunter.blogspot.com/2025...

It won't be re-released in time for Christmas, but we've got plenty of other books that make great holiday presents. Not to mention winter reading, and it looks like this will be a good winter for that.

We'll find a way to let you know about those!

For those of you who have Substack, I'm also posting the blog there:

https://markrhunter.substack.com/p/th...

I can't guarantee the accuracy: For instance, I’m not sure if the Pilgrims watched football on a black and white TV, or listened to it on the radio.
