"These themes reflect Burke’s background in math, gaming, and speculative humor, creating a tone that’s playful yet thoughtful, cozy yet occasionally haunting." -- Grok

Yeah, so be nice, or I'll occasionally haunt you!

Lenox Road Up and out early on another warm August morning. The map says my walk started at 6:58 am. I guess I made good time getting to Saratog...

Another exciting episode of "Walkin' in Brooklyn"
The blog entry (with pictures) is from early August.
Yes, I'm catching up. I did a lot of walking in the summer!

A4 Get busy. Or at least get organized. A schedule of sorts could help.

It’s amazing that some “book promoters” don’t know the meaning of “LOL, No.”

I had to look up that last one.
And Gaiman has, shall we say, fallen out of favor recently.

Wow. I actually heard from a “Book Marketing Strategist” who sent me a two-page vision.
I’m not convinced they actually read my book, mind you.
I’m pretty sure they read what my editor wrote on the back cover and spun it through AI to compare me with Ray Bradbury, Neil Gaiman, and Italo Calvino

I went there today, a little after noon, and the store was decimated. Empty racks lay on the floor
But there was a cool steampunk coat just hanging there!

Now that I have 5 short fantasy books out, and since I want the next book to be scifi (space or time travel), I’m thinking that maybe I should consolidate these into one larger book for people who people 200-300 pages instead of 50-60.

What do you think?

A2 I don’t have one. I didn’t plan one and I’m not going to pants one. I do have story started I could expand upon
OTOH, I’m thinking about next Christmas because something that occurred to me last year came up and of course it’s a little late now even for selfpublishing

A1 Not sure where I fall in this
Knows the ending and writes toward it is me but the rest of that isn’t
I’m not much of a pantser except for Prompts and those are the ones I usually can’t do much with because they may be witty but there’s no story there to expand
