✍️ Spending a few minutes reviewing my WIPs before finishing up my class prep for today. Now that I’m settling into a schedule, I’m ready to get back to one of my projects. Oh…oh…and my new book comes out on Monday 😉

I need him to start in the film adaptations of one of my books and one of my short stories. He would be perfect!

It’s a classic propaganda manipulation of language: euphemism.

Call it what you really mean: “dictatorship.”

My next book—RESONANCE—will be released on October 13th! Part fictional memoir, part self-examination, part grief-driven fever dream, and part ghost story—sort of 😉

If you like your aliens terrifying, deadly and relentless, try these horror-tinged voyages into universes more dangerous than we could possibly have imagined, where it's not just the endless freezing void that will chill your blood.

“Are we not men?”
Finally watched the DEVO documentary on Netflix. It brought back so many great memories and was well done. An important part of my musical development.

Feeling a little better this morning—well enough to prep for and teach a two-hour class at 930 (I hope). Afterwards, I’ll be doing final tweaks to my novelette releasing on October 13th (if I feel up to it).

I did start going through my proof copy this morning. Only one spot to rework a paragraph a little. A few spots to wrangle the justified text to look better. And (of course) still tweaking the cover blurb…👀
