Remembering Robert H. Rimmer Pioneer of Polyamory

As I write this on the 24th anniversary of Robert H. Rimmerโ€™s passing, it is hard to believe he has been gone that long. He was ever an inspiration to me.

I have been following the California volcano trail. This is Burney Falls, majestic and beautiful. A wonderful 2 mile walk through a vibrant forest gets you to the base of this year around Falls. I may set my next novel in a fictional setting here.

Wow! I have never seen this before. Desperate Endeavor is on sale right now, on Amazon, 2/3 off! Only $6.98 for the trade paperback. That is less than I pay when purchasing from the publisher. Definitely the best buy of the summer!

My grandmother started painting when she was 80. These are some of her paintings. She lived to 99. She would say, "it's never too late to start something new."

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country.

We will hold this administration accountable.

A marketer asked me: why did you switch from being a self published author to publishing traditionally?
Self-publishing requires about ten different skills that I'm not good at. I didn't edit very well. The editors at the traditional publishers push me much harder to turn out a really good story.

Awesome! I just hit 12k on my new novel also. I'm working on a murder/mystery thriller with supernatural underpinnings...very different from my SF roots. It's tough changing genres sometimes-tho Dan Brown did it, and did it well.
