Why Blog?

J. Alan Erwine put me on his blog roll. I know he occasionally drops by, because he has made some interesting comments, but I am used to being mostly ignored on the internet. Except for a couple of mentions in BoingBoing.net, I think that I am a fairly anonymous guy. Google me, though, and you […]

Website News Bites

Free Name A Star has registered over 225 stars in its first two months. Ten stars have paid extras. I’ve made about $60 off the sales and another $30 off ads. Traffic is doubling every two weeks. By November I should be a millionaire. Shortly after that, if the progression holds out, I will own […]

I Miss Star Trek

I remember coming home from college and stopping by Erica’s house (long before we were married). Erica’s Dad was a Trekky (sp?). I sat with him and watched an episode of STOS in COLOR! My parents had a black and white set. Because I was spending most of my time during the last original Trek […]

ScienceFictional Editor

An old friend of mine, Mike Turabian, contacted me out of the blue. We worked together back in 2000 at IBM. He writes mostly mystery stories now, be he published two SF novels and a bunch of stories back in the early 80s. He came across my blog and read about ScienceFictional.com. He called me […]

I have decided to create a science fiction eZine with no content, only guidelines. I have the idea that I might make it a community blog […]

Hemingway – To Have and Have Not

I bought a mixed lot of books on tape on eBay. There were a few Hemingway titles. I finished To Have and Have Not, yesterday. Back around 1972, while waiting to be drafted, I read every Hemingway title at the Forham Library. I remember being confused, because I had liked the movie. The book has […]

Augusta Heritage Center’s Blues Week

If I’ve seemed a little down lately, it’s because of Blues Week. I went there several times and it’s where I learned to play harmonica. I miss it very much, but I can’t go because I don’t get paid vacation as a consultant and I am too cheap to lose a weeks pay. I want […]

Story: Speed Trap back – 96 days

My story, Speed Trap, was returned with suggestions for a rewrite. I have not written anything new in almost a year now. I am not excited about breaking this story out and working on it. It is a unique piece, unlike anything I’ve read in any of the internet zines, but it would be nice […]
