It's a huge-budget all-star disaster movie about the Chicago Fire. It's called Mrs. O'Leary's Cow.
It's been living in my head for almost twenty years now and if I had the power to make it I would and it would be awesome.

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Should I be on Patreon and Ko-fi? Are they good for different things? I'm confused.

I've never pretended I make money from the books. 😁
I just started writing seriously a few years ago, but I was a professional actor/director for a long time, so I'm used to not making money. 🤣
I teach, tutor, and try to make a few bucks telling stories when I can.

How's that working out? I've been considering that line of work myself.

It still feels surreal that people connected with the first book, and I'd love to give something back.
If this post hits 500 shares, I'll make the Beyond The Mark eBook free for all of December.
No catch, just a thank you for the support and a push to keep me writing.

Just got my copy!
I haven’t advertised this in awhile, but there’s a free (with optional but unexpected donation) short story featuring a young Fhinbar Bladcros and his duel with Ronnell Oberlan, Ordan’s father.
I think you will enjoy it even if you’ve never read my work!

Together Wendy we can live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
Oh, someday girl, I don't know when
We're gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go, and we'll walk in the sun
But 'til then, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
Oh, someday girl, I don't know when
We're gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go, and we'll walk in the sun
But 'til then, tramps like us

No turkeys in BLUE SKIES, but I think it's fair to say that Eddie acts like a bird for a moment.
Okay, maybe "acts like" isn't exactly right.

It's gotta be Birdhouse in your Soul, but also it's all the rest of them too.
Name your fav They Might Be Giants song.

They're free for a few more hours!
Both of my short stories are going to be free this weekend if you're looking for quick reads and like free stuff.
(also they don't have any reviews yet and that's very sad)
(also they're only 99 cents each (or free on KU) if you don't want to wait)

Ok palate cleanse time. In case you missed it, here's my most popular post ever
4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.
On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day
So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga
