I would love to. Work paid for my last trip. I will have to save for my next one...but katsudon and I would be reunited for sure!

Haha! Where I live in the Seattle area, "Teriyaki" restaurants are on every corner, and they all serve Chicken Katsu...and while I take what I can get..I dream of that summer in Tokyo when a plate of Katsudon and I fell madly in love. Then I ate it.

I had no clue. But damn, I'm heading to 711 right now.

Fellow indie authors...KDP, Draft2Digital, DriveThruFiction, Google play, itch.io, where else to self-publish?

My kids think I'm cheap because I opt for the ads version of Netflix...little do they know, it's the only exercise I get.

The noticeable effects of working from home.

My daughter this morning: "Are you taller or are you just wearing jeans?"

But wait...my father was a nuclear physicist who worked on contracts at various reactors throughout the country...so I guess that makes him a freelance nuclear physicist!

I'm going to be on bluesky a lot more now. I'm sorry to report I lost my job at the spaghetti factory. Just couldn't get the hang of the pasta cutting machine.

Oh, get out a pen and some paper. Knock out a screenplay and scare the shit out of people. This would be a top-class horror flick.

Nah, now if you don't want to wake up the day after that, then yes. But everyone should be allowed to sleep through at least one day.

Welcome! It's so easy to be an indie author. Here's the secret: Write what makes you happy and let people read it.

Indie authors, a question for you. Where do you publish besides KDP?

The Index of Alkeme The Index of Alkeme - Kindle edition by King, R. David. Download it once and read it on your Kindle device, PC, phones or tablets. Use features like bookmarks, note taking and highlighting while reading The Index of Alkeme.

"It's an action adventure reminiscent of Indiana Jones and Relic Hunter, with a dash of James Bond thrown in. It's also got elements of steampunk and dieselpunk."
