The Other Coast and Cautious Optimism
Wow. Cartoonists can really put publishing and writing into perspective sometimes. For realistic writers out there – and those who love us – this isn’t beverage safe… On the “Cautiously Optimistic” front – still haven’t heard about job, but one of my submitted projects has made it past “Query Letter” stage to “Go Ahead and […]
WIP – Warts and All (2)
Okay, so since one person asked for more… 😎 Here, have a little more. The croak followed by a crash, as he stumbled to his door and slammed it against its stops.

The one fun/odd thing that happened this weekend… after Jimmy and I went out for sushi with LA Williams and our friend, Scharba, we all headed over to Barnes and Noble. There was a young, professional woman in the SF/F aisle, browsing. We were talking about some books and covers – Jimmy and I – […]
