Closing in on the end of the summer, I’m looking back at the year with a cockeyed perspective. First, I’m trying to figure out what happened to the summer. Second, I’m trying to gauge how this year will come to an end. You would think with the launch of my second steampunk novel, The Janus [...]

Stranger on a Train XXIII

August 6, 2012

I was planning to nap, but my brain really won’t power down. I blame NASA and this incredible photo of Christina Hendricks I saw Facebook. It still blows my mind that we are on Mars. Again.

Stranger on a Train XXI

June 19, 2012

Heading home, and I’ve got 21 for this entry; so Double Down if you can. Yesterday was a day I want to put behind me, but I admit it was a crossroad kind of day. Revelations. Lapses of reason. Manning up. And as pissy as I felt, I find out I have a friend — [...]
