Zonn stiffened in his seat as the spotlight swept past him to the other side of the auditorium. It stopped on a woman who at first didn’t seem to notice she’d been selected. The crowd laughed and pointed at the video screens, upon which the woman’s eyes darted to and fro like those of a frightened animal.

So I went down a rabbit hole of knockoff apps on the iPhone store. You’ve got to see these. The mafia just lets anybody in now, I guess. Frogs, orange apes, etc. Star Wars, that’s to be expected. Lol. So blatant, though. Got the speeder bike chase and everything. PICTURED: (NOT) Han Solo Star Trek? Meh, I don’t see the resemblance. Now, Transformers is where … Continue reading Down the knock-off app rabbit hole
What an odd time to be alive. Nuance is lost. Critical thinking is scorned. Writers aren’t allowed to use words… “No!” he shouted. “No,” he said angrily. “No.” Okay, so I wouldn’t have used “angrily,” but sometimes only an adverb will do. They exist for reason. If they’re redundant or unnecessary, I avoid them. Duh. Anyway, these “rules” are not rules at all and change … Continue reading Unchain the Adverbs!

FACT: I tend to strongly … Continue reading Can’t argue the facts

I have attempted, over the course of the past two years or so, to identity and eliminate any opinions I might have permitted to take hold within my brain. Preferences? That’s different. Some people like peach cobbler and some don’t. If I don’t, that’s not an opinion, that’s a preference. An opinion says “Peach cobbler sucks,” which is not fact. A preference says “I personally … Continue reading No Opinion
The rough draft of Exitium, the third book in my Effugium trilogy, is nearing completion, and I’m pretty pleased with how it’s turned out. This one’s got Kryuss from one million years in the future skipping around time and space in a giant golden faberge egg powered by compressed stars from uninhabited galaxies and operated using an antikythera. It’s called the Zeitgeist. It’s got a … Continue reading Exitium: nearing completion
Sometimes after I read a story about a murder case, I check Facebook to see if the killer has a profile, and then I peruse it. I’m not the only one, of course, so in order to save you the hassle of looking up this woman’s profile, or in case it gets removed, I’ll just post highlights here: Notice that she’s gone out of her … Continue reading Morbid Curiosity: Stalking Killers’ Facebook profiles
