[Spotlight Post] Tom Clancy Remembered
Well, crap. This wasn’t how I planned on starting October Spotlight posts. But here we are. On Tuesday night, October 1st, Tom Clancy passed away. An Icon of military thrillers is no more, and I am saddened by this loss. He was only 66. Details were not forthcoming. My condolences to his family, friends, and […]
[Spotlight Post] FAIL
I got busy at work yesterday, and basically said, “Oh, I’ll just write my spotlight post when I get home.” Yeah, obviously THAT didn’t happen. Why? On one of the busiest (and newly, mostly completed major construction) of my evening commute, my car’s AC started blowing hot and then I noticed my engine temp gauge. […]
[Spotlight Post][Pen/Pencil Review] Regularly Scheduled Blogging
Yes, I realize I missed TWO blogs last week. I was on staff of LoneStarCon 3 – aka WorldCon. I ran my feet to the nubs. Friday I could’ve sworn it was Saturday – and Monday we were tearing down and traveling. I know I should’ve had prepared blogs, but alas, I did not. I […]
[Spotlight Post] Cynthia Dickinson – We’ll Miss You
It’s Friday. I should be writing a spotlight. I don’t know that I have it in me today. After I wrote the memorial for Jo Pesheck last week, I learned about the loss of Cynthia Dickinson. Cynthia Dickinson was a regional artist who was an inspiration. I mentioned her on Facebook. She was not only […]
[Spotlight Post] Kidd Kraddick – Gone But Not Forgotten
So, it’s Friday. I wondered what I was going to write about this week – the John Ringo novel I’m reading, a charity that does good work? And then this morning my brain said, “No, you’re going to be one of the thousands talking about Kidd Kraddick this week.†I’m a radio brat. Most people […]
[Spotlight Post] The Stan Lee Foundation
Happy Friday! If you have today off for a 4-day weekend, I envy you. However, this week’s spotlight is for a good and worthy cause… this week I want to introduce you to The Stan Lee Foundation. Yes, that Stan Lee. I discovered The Stan Lee Foundation at SoonerCon. Ryan Dawson, who himself has a […]
[Spotlight Post] Amanda S. Green – Dynamo
So, it’s Friday. It’s a spotlight day. Today, I’m featuring someone you may or may not know – Amanda S. Green. If you don’t know her yet, you should. Hopefully after all this is done, you’ll check her out some more. She’s pretty darned amazing. [asa]B004QO9Z2K[/asa] Amanda S. Green is the writer of the Nocturnal […]
[Spotlight][Conventions] SoonerCon 22 Schedule
This week’s spotlight is less a spotlight and more of a heads up. SoonerCon is next weekend. I just got my preliminary schedule – this is subject to last minute changes, and what you see is what I know at this point. When I’m not in one of these places, I’ll either be eating or […]
[Spotlight Post] Apologies
I really did mean to do a Spotlight post on Friday. I did. I even started putting one together about Ruth Thompson – which I will finish and post…promise. But my Day Job is trying to kill me. Ruth’s husband, Alwyn (if that really is his real name and he’s not an actor sent to […]
[Spotlight Post] Tartanic
This week’s spotlight is on a band I never even considered listening to before two weeks ago – Tartanic. I haven’t met them yet, but they suffered a tragic loss this past weekend and our hearts and prayers go out to them. Tartanic is a bagpipe and drum band. Yes…you read that correctly. Pipe and […]
