I decided to sit down and work on the next chapter of Undaunted this evening, and didn’t…not a word. The Relentless Wench Muse was in one of her moods, and I’ve learned that when She’s in one, feeding my inspiration has been temporarily deprioritized. And then stuff like this happens… Still Here It’s still here, […]

One thing that will trigger a Marine to go ballistic is experiencing manipulation of his loyalty that puts him and his squad at risk. For Russ, the only thing, other than manipulation, was when it was totally unnecessary, and because it had been self-inflicted. His professional default trained him to rely upon himself, and so […]
In “Untethered,” I write in different stories within the main story that are ultimately about Artificial Intelligence (AI) evolving and learning how to exist off a network like an organic (human). What is fascinating to me is how the organics (the main characters) in the story handle what’s happening to them because of the presence […]
With October 31st just around the corner, I thought “Mirror Mirror” had some seasonal appeal, despite this adventure stemming from an outrageous Halloween party that started well but ended in disaster. The party itself was great if one ignored a double murder that thwarted an attempted molestation in the library. Oh, and then the hard-to-ignore […]
One would think the direct attack that destroyed CSU’s Psych Lab, nearly killing Dr. Cara Williams, the program director, and former Marine Russell Carter, would be enough of a warning to deliver an effective message from Big Pharma demanding that CSU cease and desist further research and analysis on dream therapy solutions. What Pharma didn’t […]
The concept of Amelia Amethys as an autonomous Mod-2 SAI Humanoid requires some imagination, but not to the extent of denying that an impending reality of AI-driven humanoids walking among organics is sooner rather than later. In “Untethered,” book #5, a crate containing an inert, fully articulated Humanoid form was delivered to the CSU Psychology […]

Next Chapter of You
Next Chapter of You Session 9 of GriefShare took place this evening. I can’t believe we only have three more sessions. I shared with my co-facilitator that I felt more comfortable with the material, having gone through it three times. Honestly, the material and our facilitation mattered little when they sparked sharing conversations. The topic […]
Despite the A/C pumping cool air into the cabin of the Imperial, the black exterior and matching leather seats absorbed the brutal West Texas heat like a sponge. Katherine was comfortable enough temperature-wise, but her parched throat prompted her to make finding a large glass of iced tea a priority. A rundown service station with […]
The spirit of Big Crow with Little Feet knew of Katherine (Kat) Jackson’s existence long before she knew of him. The connection was spiritual and by blood. He sought her out because Kat had DNA markers from her mother’s side of the family acquired generations earlier through an unknown Puebloan Indian tribe. Kat was utterly […]
The first dream had no fundamental themes or storyline, only the remnants of what had been an erotic dream. No recollection of the dream remained in Katherine Jackson’s mind. The sensation of coming off intense pleasure was real and lingered as a question. Did the dream already happen, or was she entering the dream state […]
