Memorial Day Thoughts
Last night, I did some beta-reading for a friend of mine and then went to bed. Although that doesn’t usually bode well for my sleep, I did it anyway. If I read anything before bed, I have to have a time of unwinding, which is usually just listening to music and thinking about what I…

Another Con Bites The Dust
This year I went to the 24th annual PlanetComicon in Kansas City, Missouri. This was my third year in a row going, but my fourth time overall. The difference with this year and previous years is that, although I had my own 3-day pass as a regular patron, I helped my friend Rachel Newhouse with…
