New: S2 E5 — After the Waltz
The morning after the party: smoke on the patio, dishes everywhere, and Charlotte wandering in wearing my denim shirt.

New installment: S2 E3 — The Smoker.
I wanted a Texas-style patio party. I had no smoker.

Brisket, fire, and a strange kind of companionship.

Procrastination pays… sometimes.

While working on my next Symbiosis Sequence book, I stumbled on a post about computer error codes—and it inspired an entire runway scene involving fashion, consent, and HTTP humor.

If you could use a little escape from the real world, the full scene’s here:
