I do have to go serious today. Yesterday my Ex and I spent the day in Santa Fe enjoying great New Mexican cuisine and wandering through the art galleries both on the Plaza and up on Canyon Road. As we were driving into town we noticed that Old Santa Fe Trail past the legislature was blocked off and there was a large police presence and the Round House itself is surrounded by tall fencing. I am certain this is because of January 6th when a lot of deluded people who had been lied to for months...

To everyone who has been so patiently waiting for the fourth book in the Imperials Saga — the wait is finally over. Currency of War went live today. I completed this book so many years ago, and it’s really sort of overwhelming to finally have it in the hands of readers. There is still one more volume that will complete Tracy and Mercedes’ story, but I’m certainly not done writing in the universe. I created a big canvas and I want to keep playing there so I’ll keep...

There have been four men in my life who I have considered to be beyond brilliant. One was my father, the second a professor at my law school, another an inventor and space visionary, and the fourth was my friend, Dr. Michael Engelberg. I first met Michael at what would become our traditional meeting at Hop Li Seafood Restaurant in L.A.’s Chinatown. Michael was an oncologist at Cedar’s Sinai, a brilliant physician, but he was also a movie producer. He had made Heinlein’s...

Folks, I know we had hoped to release Currency of War in February, but one member of the staff was trapped in the Republican apocalypse that befell Texas and was without power for a week. So it’s going to be a few more days. Please be patient and understanding with us. Life in the time of Covid and climate change has made everything so much more difficult.

I thought people might be interested in reading the speech I gave at the 2021 Life the Universe and Everything conference. So I’m going to post it here. Please excuse any odd phrasing or formatting, it was to add me in the delivery. Very strange to give a speech on Discord where you have no feedback from the listeners. Life in the Time of Covid has made us all very adaptive. Anyway, here it is. (I attempted to center the title, the work from which it was derived and the author of said...

We are getting close. Here is a sneak peak at the cover of the upcoming fourth Imperials book Currency of War. It will be out in February. I’ll update once I have the actual date when it goes live. Such deep thanks to Alexi Vandenberg and the staff at Prince of Cats Literary Productions. I completed this novel over two years ago, but then hit a hiccup with my then publisher. Actually I’m really happy things worked out the way they did because now I get to have Elizabeth Leggett do...
