Tom Lehrer, Musical Satirist With a Dark Streak, Dies at 97

This one hurts. Really hurts. I love Tom Lehrer. I spent many (many, many, many) of my teen hours listening to his albums. Genius. Period.

YouTube video by House of Mystery Radio Show on NBC! Ryan Melsom - Gods of a New World

I did an interview with the House of Mystery Show on NBC, and I'm thrilled at how it turned out! Thanks to Al Warren and @joegoldbergbooks.bsky.social for a great chat.

If you dig cyberpunk, modern-day gods, ragtag rebels, and more, have a listen!

This is sad...DAY OF THE JACKAL...

Smoked a corned beef because…why not?

Unless I am mistaken, #adamsandler honored Warren Zevon during his amazing tribute song by using “Please Stay” from THE WIND, the album Zevon recorded as he was dying. Great choice. #SNL50

It is that time of year. Smoked a ton of cheese. Wrote a chapter. Good day.

We had a great conversation. He has amazing espionage stories.

This is a distraction.

Great conversation!

Oh, I agree. I try to write my first like it is the last. I know. I know. Wrong. I actually like re-editing. Still a mess, especially the early chapters when I had no clue.

This is exactly where I am at this moment…exactly.

I like this framework…among the others I have taped to my wall, watched on Masterclass, read in articles and books…etc Short and simple. What about you?

The #Hawkeyes crush the spirits of the Huskers after another collapse…! I feel warm inside.

Interesting chart on how to approach word count goals by famous authors. I don’t do them. I write when I can and feel good when there are more words after than when I started. I don’t want to feel bad if I don’t “make my goal.” You!?

Just got back from Author Nation. This was the standing-room-only crowd for my talk on Deep Character. What an amazing tribe to be a part of! Creatives RULE!!!

This hawk is taking the definition of "bird-feeder" literally. "I'm a bird, so feed me, and thanks for putting out all that seed and stuff so I have a choice for my dinner."

For my book “The Spy Devils,” I had a “kill or be killed” moment. No choice but to fight to the death. It was brutal. People ask me how I wrote it…I stare back blankly. Same with torture. I don’t do graphic sex scenes. Maybe I SHOULD worry.

Good advise. I do most of those for just this reason...unless I get lazy...

Funny! I did a ton of research on precursors for meth and fentanyl labs, and how to hide them...expected DEA to come a' knocking.

Or a space alien...?
