Grew up hating and fearing these guys. Now I love 'em. Any other recovering arachnophobes on here?

What's up with Pathfinders? Well...

For various reasons---to be detailed in an upcoming blog post---I have decided to change my entire approach to the book. I'm shooting my shot at trad pub. Self-publishing just isn't for me.

My book will eventually get published, somewhere! But it'll be a while.

Another review dug up from the archives: Professor Avi Loeb, Harvard, thinks we should take the prospect of alien intelligence seriously. I think he's right.

Book Review - Extraterrestrial (Avi Loeb) | Let's Get Off This Rock Already!
Avi Loeb believes aliens are real, and they’ve visited our Solar System. But this man is no fringe conspiracy theorist, dressed in ratty flannels and a tinfoil hat, broadcasting rants from a pirate ra...

Coming this Friday: the third chapter of "Last Flight from Tazab Station"! In which we finally meet the big creepy crawly that has gotten loose aboard the Free Trader Chixlu, and action ensues.

Man shit's depressing. What a bleak and sordid world.

A moral government would systematically favor employees over employers, tenants over landlords, and those without property over those who have it.

This should be contrasted not just with the policies of the current administration, but with the deeply ingrained culture of the American public...

BUY SOMETHING!

Is it truly social media anymore? Or is it more like selling media? It invades everything.

It's obvious to wealthiest and most powerful people on the planet don't care for nature, climate, the earth or the universe.

So I painted the invasive nature of ads in nature.

God I'm glad I got a copy of this book before people noticed it. Paid only $30, which was still pretty steep for a damaged paperback novelization of a '90s horror movie.

And no, I am not selling.

Tuscany is a magical place — warm, sunny and earthy. I toured through this summer and fell in love with the rolling fields, white gravel roads and iconic skinny Cypress trees. Enjoy!

I'm really enjoying Anemone. It's a quiet, brilliant, arthouse film that requires all of your attention. It should have gotten more attention #filmsky

Literally an entire sci-fi/horror novella just beamed into my brain while I was passed out for an evening nap. I will begin writing it presently.

Does anyone else ever have stories revealed to them in dreams? Are they ever any good?

It isn't easy, doing field work 35 light-years from home---but there's nothing like the thrill of discovery.

Interesting thesis: authors who repackage the same derivative material "that readers want" will lose out to AI. The flood of sameness will then drive demand for uniquely human stories.

What do y'all think, #BookSky?
