Two men, who can’t stand one another, sit down for what seems like innocuous drinks, but will their discussion forever change the future of humanity?
I’ve been working on a short story, and as I look at it, I’ve realized that I’ve almost hit the maximum length for a short story, and I’m nowhere close to wrapping it up. So apparently this short story is going to be a novelette. I don’t think it will stretch out to novella length, but I guess we will see in time…
So, look for my first ever novelette probably some time in the Spring…

Do you really want to be a writer? It’s a serious question that anyone thinking about entering the field of writing should ask.
In this collection of essays, prize-winning science fiction author and editor J Alan Erwine uses his usual wit and sarcasm to educate and entertain potential writers as they start their journeys.
You won’t find essays about plot or character development here, but instead, you’ll find 17 essays that talk about the business of writing. Erwine uses his more than a quarter of a century of experience to talk about the submission process, and more importantly, what to do with your writing and career after you’ve started selling.
Do You Really Want To Be a Writer? is a great source of information for the new writer as well as the experienced writer.
As I was in that state between wakefulness and sleep, a weird thought came to me. Here in America we’re faced with two presidential candidates, neither of whom are very good choices. It’s not just their age, but it’s many factors. As I was thinking about this, I suddenly realized that we’re actually facing an election between Gandalf and Saruman.
On the one hand, you have Gandalf. He seems like a decent fellow, albeit a bit odd. However, as you get to know him, you realize that he’s a bit forgetful and unobservant…well maybe more than a bit. Sure he never realized that the Ring of Power had been in the Shire all these years. Sure he forgets the password to enter the Mines of Moria, and then can’t find his way through the Mines very well. And never mind that when he’s resurrected, he can’t remember his name, but he seems like a decent guy, and his personality wants to make you follow him, although a nagging voice in the back of your head tells you that he’s leading you to your death…
Then you have Saruman, an old man that has only power on his mind. He will do whatever he has to, and sacrifice anyone and anything that he has to in order to gain power for himself. In his quest for power, he creates the Uruk-hai, a group that is so dedicated to him that the only thing they care about is increasing the power of Saruman, no matter what that takes. Saruman will burn Middle Earth to the ground if he has to in his insane quest for power and self-glory.
These seem to be the two candidates that we’re faced with, and neither is exactly appealing. But if we want to stretch the metaphor even further, we have to remember that Middle Earth was actually saved by the “little guys,” literally. Maybe, We the People, the voters are the hobbits, and we’re the ones that can actually save our nation.
Of course, if we want to stretch the metaphor even further, we have to begin to wonder, where is Sauron? Maybe Russia, maybe China, maybe…

Yes, it is definitely one of the best lines from Star Wars The Bad Batch, but it’s also a great way to talk about my new novel again. There is an echo available, and it’s called Echoes from the Deep.
The first human and dolphin colony team has arrived on Epsilon Eridani 2, a planet that was once inhabited by a highly advanced species that has gone extinct.
On this exciting new world, the humans have brought all of their typical problems with them, while the dolphins adjust quite easily to their new home.
All of this changes when bizarre events begin to happen to the colonists. Is the stress of a new colony causing unknown neuroses and psychoses to suddenly surface? Is there something in the atmosphere that the colonists didn’t know about? Or is there something else behind the bizarre occurrences?
