New Stories, Poems, and Menu (Downloads to Follow)
Hey gang, Added a few new stories and poems. I also nested the fantasy stories from my Gergia world under the stories tab. Soon to come : downloadable versions (.pdf; .mobi; .epub) of new stories and poems. But first I have to transfer everything to WordPress.org – that’ll take awhile, but hopefully by winter you can download singles for free.…

Our Technological Wish List
These aren’t “Tall Tower” or “Hyperloop” or “3D Printing Organ” ideas, they’re just tweaks on current software. I would love for us to add more tweaks in the comments and see if we can’t get a nice list going.

Dead Christ

TFH: Bubba VS. The Bear
Fall makes me nostalgic, that’s my only excuse for what follows. Tales from Home all come from my past. I reserve the right to exaggerate, alter, or fabricate details.

On Mortality
To wrap up this week’s theme of grief, loss, and eulogies, I’m sharing a poem on mortality I wrote one year ago. I woke up in the middle of the night with the worst fever of my life, aching to my bones, certain of death — kind of like my friend’s cold sweat from yesterday’s…

050: La Fin du Monde

It’s not the first book today printed whose themes feature the end of the world it’s a popular transition from fantasy to science fiction to move from eschatology…

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journo
Finally got around to seeing this sucker and I was pleasantly surprised. We’ll break this one up simply, the bad news first then the good. The bad news? There were moments where my secondary belief (for Tolkienites) or my suspended disbelief (for Coleridgers) completely quit and I was left in a dark theater saying, “Seriously?!”…
