Utter cowardice... I swear... ;-)

I'm starting my first Kickstarter after backing 33! Love you guys. Totally support. But when I went to the website, my first thought was.... That logo looks like a FUTBOL Club, [The word United didn't hurt]. My second thought was, "It's so plain...."
So, here is my adaptation....

The Vampire Autopsies In the early 1700s, doctors exhumed and autopsied a number of suspected vampires in Eastern Europe. Read their true, strange findings.

Still love this. Just found out Brooks Peck, another panelist at Worldcon (MoPOP/EMP), has a non-fiction Kickstarter: The Vampire Autopsies, by Brooks Peck, who I met on the MoPOP/EMP panel at Worldcon Seattle 2025. kickstarter.com/projects/639...

P.S. I'm about to launch my own Kickstarter and this is kicking my start into getting it kicking.

Totally looking forward to reading some of my trilogy for my hometown folks. So glad that Hoquiam has a bookstore! Harbor Books. It's about time.

Countdown: 4 days.
And the 7th is going to be a pretty one in Seattle.
Hope to see you there. There will be stickers, SWAG, and a raffle signup for a B.O.B. [Not just for conservative preppers anymore.]

In late March. 7 of 11 checked off. Now, 10 of 11. I'm sure the Executive Branch of the U.S. Gov came for Union Members on an incidental basis.

Please share this. As I was telling someone yesterday. Most of what I can to for democracy is writing to call attention to facts & uplift spirits & hopes.

Love and hate this. The picture is amazing. I bet it was even more stunning in person. I am very sad about the fires.

Going to be selling books and hanging out with really cool fellow authors. My first time selling Lizzie's coming of age trilogy at a Pride fest. So, so excited. June 7th. White Center, WA. (Near Renton). @maiastrong01.bsky.social @brentarcherauthor.bsky.social

So excited to be a part of this. Also really pleased that ALL IS SILENCE is one of the first SciFi & PostApoc to be seen scanning down the page. Thanks for doing this. Again. ;-)

Let's hang out Saturday at Village Books Bellingham. I'll be interviewed about my bat-virus pandemic series so scarily similar to Covid19 I stopped writing No Man's Land for two years. Now it's done & we're having a party. There will be swag for all, doorprizes, raffle signup and book inscribing.

Gonna be visiting this guy at Village Books this Saturday at 6pm I'm having a release party & book-signing. There'll be SWAG, door prizes & raffle. Tickets are $5, but you get a voucher to buy a book that night, mine or other's. My Brother James' Claustromseries. www.villagebooks.com/event/litliv...

I've been trying to go high even though it makes no difference. And people are making excuses for her! It's really sad that people who can't buy a new car or a new house are supporting people who are just going to make them poorer, all because they wish they were that rich.

Be a Samwise Gamgee. Support your friends, trust your instincts, be humble, lead with your heart, love potatoes, don't let one little spider ruin your day.

Gonna go back in time. Where's Marty McFly when we need him?

Biff Tannen was a foreshadowing of Donald Trump.

Yup. Burn it down. All long as we get another election, the democrats ought to be able to return to power. But it's going to take decades to rebuild.

And buys $50,000 watches to wear while touring a hellish prison!

With respect for the words of Pastor Niemöller, an anti-semitic Nazi supporter until the Nazis put him in a Dachau for protesting their domination over protestant churches.

We're 8 out of 11.

I also should have said something about exchanging government officials who hold people acountable. 😢🤬

- good with the bad: Not directly from the Trump Administration - The Alabama halted a library’s funding. Supporters raised the cash in days.
- Trump cuts to USAID halt funding for global vaccinations.

And one good thing: Supreme Court keeps Biden-era regulations for ghost guns

- Noem also threatens to send more immigrants to prison in El Salvador. Probably without due process.
- Marjorie Taylor Greene battles NPR & PBS leaders in House hearing
- Trump officials ask Supreme Court to allow canceling of $65 million in grants for teacher training & professional development

Shitzkrieging from today (something good at the bottom)
- Trump announces 25 percent tariffs on imported cars
- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem deciding whether to strip FEMA of some of its key functions, such as helping rebuild after disasters.

Got the same e-mail. Had the same response. All my kids are artists. I think it's really )*^#%^y that people will use AI and say, I have to so I can make a living. If I can't afford a human audiobook narrator, then my audiobook is NOT getting made.

Two great books from two of my fave authors!
My latest. No Man's Land the end of YA Bat-virus apocaloptimistic trilogy I started in 2012. The pandemic is so similar to Covid 19, I stopped writing fiction for two years.
You can find it and the rest of the trilogy here: www.desertedlands.com

I should drop off another, perhaps, a well-loved one, to the folks at Village Books. [The need to get a Blue Sky account!]

sent away,
ridiculed,
doxed,
beaten up,
or killed.
Where are we on the steps down this slippery slope to Hell?

Pt 6
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
Because all the people who would have
spoken for me, and sometimes even did,
were silenced,
sent away,
ridiculed,

VVVV

PT 5
Then they came for the students
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a student and my kids are out of school

Then they came for the unions and their members
And I did not speak out
Because I didn’t know what unions had done for people

Then they came for me . . .

VVVV

Pt 4
And I did not speak out
Because I don’t speak another language

Then they came for the people with darker skin
And I did not speak out
Because I only have dark skin when I tan or burn

Then they came for the librarians & teachers
And I did not speak out
Because I didn’t like school anyway
