It was a weird sight last evening when I saw Venus setting bright in the west and this diffuse glow passing it. It turned out to be the SpaceX launch I guess on its orbit, and then a helicopter passed thru my shot.

The moon is holding water tonight, with a nice reflection in the lake.

I saw that in the theater. The puke joke scene had me fall out of my chair laughing.

Cold Outer Banks from before the snow. I went home in Dec and it was so cold and lonely there, so strange to see it empty. It was still beautiful, but just too quiet for me.

Morality is easy when you have a full pantry.
I really want to move off FB, but leaving a lot of followers, especially from my biz my books is difficult. It means rebuilding a huge following that I did for my daughter to have my book income when she's older.
But I also want her to grow up right.

The Unmerciful Sea Who Knows What Spirits Lurk In The Graveyard Of The Atlantic?

www.joesledge.com/books-1/the-unmerciful-sea I wrote this originally as a tribute to those great pulpy 80s horror thriller novels, but it became more of an allegory to the rise of Nazism in America.
If you like zombies and hate Nazis, you'll love this book.

Around 2011, we had huge floods that ruined many houses and displaced families on the Outer Banks. A lot of people lost their homes forever and moved away.
Before we help out the people in the NC mountains, don't you think we should first take care of them?
See how childish it sounds put that way?

I'm counting the days.

I'm donating a portion of my profits from this book to the Humane Society of the Outer Banks, which helps provide food and treatment for local animals. Maybe even the occasional swearing parrot.

If I just have to get used to getting on here by posting a pretty picture every day, well that's what I'm gonna do.

I just got in my shipment of books from the printers! I've been waiting about a month to finally get Bess in print, and with Christmas and this snow, it took forever. I have to give a couple to Callie's friends first.

I'm going to do my best to warm some hearts, even on these cold nights.

Hey everyone! With November rolling through us, colder, shorter days, I'm going to try to remember the better days of this past year, like this colorful sunset on Jockey's Ridge.
