Heavy into revisions on "Easy As It Gets", book 4 of my #hardboiled #scifi #noir series. Really, the title applies, not only to Tom's struggles, but my writing the damned thing as well.

I've always been a bit of an astronomy dork (nerd implies far too much knowledge) and dreamed of one day seeing the Aurora Borealis. I know it's even more spectacular in the north, but seeing it at all from Kansas is a dream come true!

Paperbacks of my #hardboiled #detective series with the new covers arrived! I couldn't be happier with them. The artist (Driope Project) did a fantastic job on the art.

Well, it's Wednesday, but I'm making #sundaysauce anyway. Anyone have a special #tip? I like to roast my veggies to bring out their sweetness before adding them to my #marinara!

Share a cartoon from the past that kids today probably never heard of.
(I still have a box of these toys stuffed in my closet, much to my wife's chagrin.)

Wow! It's already been two years since I released my first #scifi #detective #noir. Getting these stories out into the world has been a wonderful experience as I connect with fellow authors and hear from #readers across the globe. I'm thankful for every one of you!

Yes, A.I., Tom DOES have to deal with a LOT of adult themes and content. 🤣

Finally, Book #4 in the Murder on the Starship Australis series has a title!
Easy As It Gets
Driope Project (www.instagram.com/pleter__/) went above and beyond on the #art for this one! (Working on the wording still.) I can't wait to put this #scifi #hardboiled #detective book in your hands. 🪐📚💙

The original cover for A Violent Man was my favorite of the three, and Driope Project (www.instagram.com/pleter__/) did a great job translating it into new #artwork. One more cover to go in my #scifi #hardboiled #detective series! 🪐📚💙

I loved the new #artwork for "Chivalry" so much, I had the very talented Driope Project (www.instagram.com/pleter__/) redo all of my #scifi #detective #noir books! I'll be posting one a day, culminating in the cover for the next book in the retitled "Murder on the Starship Australis" series.

A good day at the used bookstore! Got two off my TBR and Redshirts to boot. Now to choose: the #sci-fi #detective #noir, the #scifi satire or the #western?

According to @sff180.bsky.social, the first #scifi story involving a proper #generationship was Don Wilcox's "The Voyage That Lasted 600 Years" and that Wilcox was from Lucas, KS--only 2.5 hours away! I sense a pilgrimage coming on.

Any Sugar fans out there? This #hardboiled #detective #noir has a spot-on tone while still being modern and mashes in some #scifi for good measure. Just my kinda show!

I recently hired a real artist to do new artwork for my books and can't wait for him to finish! Here's my favorite of my home-made covers, though.

With the first draft of Book #4 nearly complete, I thought it was time to do a little rebranding.
New cover for Chivalry Will Get You Dead, first in my #scifi #hardboiled #detective series Coming Soon! 🪐📚💙

I'm a pantser when it comes to writing my #scifi #hardboiled #noir #mystery #series. I start with a general idea, but I just see where Tom takes me. Sometimes, instead of new friends, he runs into old ones... and he insults them, too.
Good news? Tom let me in on a BIG secret today. 🤫
