Even though I live in Las Vegas, I beg of you -- don't come here! It's too friggin' expensive, and besides, unless you're rich as f*ck, you're no longer the desired visitor demo. Take yourselves and your limited discretionary spending someplace nicer and more affordable. You'll be glad you did.

Our beautiful Lola Dawg the Basset Hound crossed the Rainbow Bridge last Friday. I'm happy to know Molli and Sadie and Beulah and all our wonderful Katz were there to meet her.

I'm old enough to remember when US Cabinet secretaries were not cartoon characters.

If you're a member of the
@AuthorsGuild and you write your own books (as opposed to letting AI do it), I recommend you take advantage of their Human Authored Certification. It's a free member benefit and costs a mere $10/title for nonmembers.

Being a punk in Hawaiสปi is a hard-knock life. Just ask Shawn โ€œSpeedyโ€ Lopes.

Being a punk in Hawaiสปi is a hard-knock life. Just ask Shawn โ€œSpeedyโ€ Lopes. It's been his life and includes getting jumped outside of bars. Now it's the subject of a new book.

I'm still skeptical about whether souls are real.

Then I give them the benefit of the doubt.

I also question the existence of the Devil.

But suppose he/it is real?

This leads me to wonder if selling your soul to the devil can actually happen.

Of course, I doubt it.

Yet thereโ€™s Marco Rubio.

When Presidents Slowly Fall: What Fiction Gets Right About the 25th Amendment

American political fiction has always been fascinated by loud endings. Assassinations. Coups. Riots in the streets. Helicopters lifting off from rooftops. The drama of collapse tends to arrive withโ€ฆ

I should be putting more work into my WIP, then I reconsider when I realize the Dow is over 50,000 right now, the S&P at almost 7,000 and the Nasdaq is smashing records.
