I’m posting this on Christmas Eve day, which this year is also an Open Mike day! (I usually take a week off this time of year anyway, but this is convenient…) So chat among yourselves…and also, check out this post at Writer Beware: https://writerbeware.blog/2025/11/14/if-a-famous-author-calls-hang-up-anatomy-of-an-impersonation-scam/
(There are also different scams aimed at people who appear to be self-publishing on Amazon. I got one that started “We greatly admire you book, “Star Wars: Attack of the Clones,” and we think we could do a lot to raise awareness…” Seriously, you have to be kidding.)
Anyway, happy holidays to everybody here or passing by!
My twentieth novel is uploaded, just waiting for it to get through the review process. Nice to have that done.
Meanwhile, Merry Christmas to everyone!
O frabjous day!
Woot!
Well, another year has gone by without me adding a single word to my long-standing WIP. 🙁
?
Been a good year. Published three books.
If you wish to give a writer a gift this Christmas — cheap! — you can rate and review books. This helps them a lot.

I had hoped to finish the first draft of my first novel by Christmas. Still in progress, but nearly there.
