And with 859 words, the new SF story has begun. It’s already strayed a bit from my outline, but that’s fine. It’s off to a fantastic start. Soundtrack for tonight’s writing session provided by Close Encounters of the Third Kind. #sciencefiction #amwriting #shortstory

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

Happened to me at least once about 10 years ago. The editor told me in person that while he liked my story, he wanted “big name” writers in the anthology even though he, as a writer, was not well known either. I should have asked him why he bothered with an open call versus invitation only.

I look forward to returning as an author guest to Farpoint SF Convention in Towson, MD. Jan 30-Feb. 1, 2026!

The United States is behaving like a rogue state. The President has carried out an illegal act of war, kidnapped a foreign head of state, and is now threatening military action against NATO allies. This is a constitutional crisis.

Impeachment must be on the table.

The only stories I omitted from this upcoming collection were SF and space opera. Those will be compiled into a separate collection later since most of them take place in the same universe… or to be more accurate, same distant section of our galaxy.

But seriously, folks… yes, I thought of that when I titled the book, 😉 especially since some of my stories from the Middle of Eternity series will be included in this collection. In fact, most of the stories in this book will be reprints.

Today, it was the emergency room.
