I am a fan of what my brother calls “house porn.” I could spend hours going through stacks of House Beautiful and Architectural Digest–and I have. So when a list of 50 Perfect Powder Rooms showed up in my inbox , I had to peek. There are some lovely ones, of course, but #26 prompted…
FRACTIONAL OWNERSHIP – Just Released!
Perpetual plaintiff Lewis Ostrow needs a ticket to Mars. His litigation profile renders him ineligible. Lewis, however, always stands ready to fight the system. A legal fantasy. A short story. A bit of science fiction. by
Borrowing Mercenary Calling
This is just to let those of you who might be interested in reading Mercenary Calling through the Kindle Unlimited program know that its days there are numbered. I will be taking it out on January 22 for about a month, maybe longer. If you think you want to read it, check it out now. …
Short Story Update
I’m getting my short story “Fractional Ownership” ready for publication. I started to call it my “most recent” short story, but it is actually the first short I wrote when I began writing short stories a few years ago. I’ve been a little reluctant to publish it, not because puppies are killed or anyone’s arm…

Gift Books in Fantasy
I’ve started my Christmas shopping. The young nieces and nephews on both sides of the family who I used to buy books for have gotten older. I miss getting to do that. Only a few are still quite young. I’m trying to figure out if I can buy Dave Freer’s Changeling’s Island for one or…
Inertia Rising
The long Thanksgiving weekend is ended, and it’s time to get back to work. My own National Novel Writing Month efforts failed spectacularly. I had killed off a villain too soon, and I figured it out too late. That’s all right. I’m sill over halfway through the second book in my new series, and have…
