As noted here, I’m commenting daily on the WMG Holiday Spectacular—which is a great project that releases a story every day. These might be reviews. Or not. They might be interesting. Or … um … not. They will be fun, though. For me, at least. Here’s the next story. “A Hollow Earth Thanksgiving”Robert J. McCarter […]

A Little Night Music: (Holiday Spectacular Story #0)
For the past, well, too long, I’ve let myself drift into a world of days that just kind of happen. There are reasons for that. It’s all fine, really. I mean, life is tough sometimes. It’s all good. But it’s not my style to be so reactive, and I don’t want to do that anymore. […]
Read More ...Muscle Shoals
On this day when Kamala Harris became the first black woman in history to assume the duties of President of the United States—and when Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of killing two people and injuring a third during a protest—I somehow found myself taking the time to watch Muscle Shoals, which is a documentary about a […]
Read More ...Fun Thing of the Day #4: What’s Up?
Yesterday I finally broke down and did a little playing with a video editor–it’s one of those things I’ve always told myself I was going to do, and just never got around to it. You know what I mean. One of those things that seemed like it would be fun if I just applied myself […]
Read More ...C.H. Hung: Stories that Ring
As you might be able to tell from the chronology between this entry and the last, the recent past has been a bit rocky here. Such is life, I suppose. Things will work out, and I’ll be fine. Anyway, that’s a way to say that two days ago—or, technically, two nights ago—I decided for the […]
Read More ...Can You Be Against Racism and Against Black Lives Matter?
A week or so back an acquaintance of mine posted in his social media site that it was possible to be both against racism and against the Black Lives Matter movement. I’ve been thinking about that comment a lot. The statement made no sense to me, yet this person—who I do not really know, but […]

I’m really excited note that Tomorrow in All the Worlds is available now for pre-order, and will be release as a Leap Year Special! This is a collection of short stories that have all appeared in issues of Boundary Shock Quarterly, which is a fun little syndicate of writers corralled by Blaze Ward. All of […]
Read More ...Start the Year with STARFLIGHT?
Happy New Year, and all that. I’ll have a bit more to drop here about that later today or tomorrow, but for now it’s nice to start the year by noting Kobo has included Starflight as part of their 2020 Buy On Get on Free promotion. Hey, 77 kind reviews can’t be wrong, right? Depending […]
Read More ...New Toy of the Day
So, I ran across the Merriam Webster Time Traveler, which is a database of words sorted by year of first use. I’m sure it’s been around for a bit, but this is the first time I ran into it, so now you get to play around in it, too. This is how I now know […]

So it’s the New Year. I’m looking forward to making good things of it. Yes, friends, one of those things is Book 7 of Stealing the Sun. Sigh. It’s an exciting time, you know? The world is getting both bigger and smaller at astounding rates–there’s this massive press of information today that makes this period […]
