Asexual. Speculative Fiction author. I write stuff. I love William Gibson and Margaret Atwood. And kindness. I dislike Cryptocurrency, Fascism, hate, and dark chocolate. I don’t code. But for some reason I work in IT. I know networks fairly well. And am pretty good with cybersecurity. Cool, cloudy days that whisper rain are when I function the best. Hot, summer days that roast concrete are horrible.

Colorado is proud to welcome our very own Sarah Palin! Lauren Boebert fits right in with her party:

1. She’s rabidly pro-gun; like obsessed.
2. She refuses to wear a mask. Or close her restaurant when her county’s hospital had no more beds because of Covid. She didn’t care.
3. She’s twice been arrested and refused to show up for her court hearing.
4. She believes Q.

Colorado is thrilled.

I promised I’d make my books free during the entirety of the pandemic. The pandemic is still going. And they’re still free through my publisher. Maybe give one a read if you’re bored. Thanks!

Douglas Shoback

Douglas Shoback scribbles down words that, for some odd reason, are published and read. By actual people. He has a Masters in English, Cultural Studies, and Film. In the mid-2000s, Douglas taught Creative Writing and Composition Studies at the University of Northern Colorado. He went on to teach high school English and then moved to London for five years--ironically teaching English Literature and Composition to British Secondary School students. Teaching became too overwhelming and he moved back to the United States and rebooted his life in his home, Colorado. Douglas writes Speculative and Science Fiction and essays about pop culture. He is a proud Whovian. Bow ties are cool and kindness means everything. Douglas is currently working on a collection of two short stories due at the end of 2020.

Also, one more thing:

Imagine how cynical and critical H. L. Mencken would have become if he had experienced the internet and social media?

We are not a very smart people. In fact, we pride ourselves in our stupidity

Look what my boss has two of! It works amazingly well too.

I installed Ghost on an instance and am liking it just for writing. Learning themes but I know nothing about any programming language, so just sticking with the default. Anyway, my first post

Because of the #Pandemic and everyone isolating at home, I am offering my books for free to help you stay sane. If you want a short read or an analysis in the wrongs of #capitalism, have a read! #freebook #authorsgivingback

I really feel I predicted the Body Politic’s movement to the Left in my book ”Semiotic Bulimia” https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/985005

I know no one has read them. That’s probably my fault. So please pick up your copies and get back to me. I would rather discussion thank sales. Thanks!
