I miss them so much. Love a book that will fit in my pocket! I recently redid the print versions of my books to make them as small as Amazon allows.

Valid response: "I know you are, but what am I?"

One of the hardest things about having kids: I can totally eat that second donut (and probably a third) but I have to set a good example. ☹️

"Carve out your heart for keeps in an old oak tree
And hold me for goodbyes and whispered lullabies
And tell me I am still the man I'm supposed to be."

So odd that they keep vacillating on that considering how many others that have been there free for years. Maybe, like me, they just think it's worth a whole lot more!

Did that "poet" you met the other day happen to look anything like Dr. Evil?

Hey, I'm already stupid and just getting started!

LOL. It's hard to keep it all straight, right? Manifest Interrupt.

Still have fond memories of sitting in your apartment smoking and singing HDN over and over while you played guitar. At least I think it was HDN? Maybe "Back in the USSR"? Shit, I'm old.

Enjoying the book! I might have found an error in the text. Bsky, FB, Instagram are shutting me down on messaging you, so...

"He was old, hairless, with a face at last lined with wrinkles, his hands ever so slightly knurled." I'm guessing "at last" shouldn't be there?

Then that idiot Jimmy in engineering put antimatter in his coffee and the resulting explosion ripped a hole in the space-time continuum and everyone died.

What is this? A starship for ANTS?! How can they be expected to boldly go where no one has gone before if they can't even fit inside the ship? The ship has to be at least... three times bigger than this!

I appreciate the interest! I've got a pretty solid team at this point. Plus, this is the fourth book in a series. While one *could* read them independently, there are series arcs that betas would need to understand.

That didn't go so well for Peter Watts (but did for the rest of us).

Thank you for the opportunity!

My (obviously) handmade ornament from a few years back.

Still waiting to ever be in the mood.
