I enjoy work, and I support a corporate environment’s right and need to filter what their employees are allowed to see while at work. That’s all good. And I work at a place that has a very workable and professional policy toward the use of the Internet. I like that. I admit, however, that I […]
Read More ...Progress?
I hear you. Enough about Picasso’s Cat and all that stuff. What about your actual progress? Are you becoming a slacker, or what? The answer is, well, uh … maybe a little. But it’s not bad, really it’s not. At least I don’t think it to be bad. Between work and travel and spending time […]

I’ve been derelict in my duty. I should note that my friend Lisa Silverthorne has three stories available on Smashwords, including one of my favorite of her stories–“Rena 733.” I can also vouch for “When Sparrows Fall,” which has a deep power to it. But, honestly, I really, really love “Rena 733.” Try one, I’m […]

As a general rule I’ve been trying to keep this little blog mostly about my writing, with a few tangential commentaries or links to things I think have some interest to the types of people who might be interested in me. Not that I’m always right, or anything. But that’s the basic plan of the […]
Read More ...Picasso’s Cat & Other Stories is Now Available
So I’ve been absent for a bit. Sorry about that. The real job has been particularly hectic recently, and I spent the past two days in Mexico with limited time and net access. The big news is that Picasso’s Cat and Other Stories is now available from The Merry Blacksmith Press. And if you order […]

Lisa sent me this under the subject header Almost a Darwin Award Winner. progress: My original thought was that I would do a couple short stories next, but instead I’m finding my mind wants to concentrate on a novel I’ve been thinking about for some time. So that’s what I’ve let myself do the past […]

My buddy and occasional collaborator John Bodin sent me this link and its associated two minutes of fun! Share Me
Read More ...Focus
I’ve been suffering a bit of a post-project malaise the past two days. I was so focused on getting these two books ready that my brain is having a hard time disconnecting. I admit the day job job is taking a lot of cycles, too. It’s a busy time all around. Focus, Ron. Focus. I […]
Read More ...The B-52s, China, and Other Messing Around
I was pretty tired this morning, so I put the B-52s on my iTunes. I did this because it is impossible to be lethargic when the B-52s are playing. I mean, you have to be seriously dead in the head to listen to their music and not at least get a little toe-tapping going, right? […]
Read More ...Radio Paradise
Pretty much all day Lisa and I have been listening to Radio Paradise, an internet radio station. This is not unusual for us, in fact I would say most of our Saturdays and Sundays provide for a serious amount of RP time. It’s a nice little, truly independent, listener-supported station with a really eclectic playlist. […]
