Tonight’s Wayward Reading
I now have a new thing for tonight’s reading at the Wayward Coffee House (8:00 PM). For geeks, the Wayward is worth going to whether you’re there to hear me read or you want to drop in another time. It’s very geekly and the coffee and atmosphere...Release Day for Wings of Creation!
Pardon the happy little post in advance. It’s a gray day here is Seattle – with a touch of pink sunrise still in the window – but I’m hoping for a good one. A lot of writing is work. By the time a book comes out, I’m two books or more...New winner, and the book giveaway continues….

A box of books arrived for me last night. I threw it in the back of my car, thinking it held copies of Reading the Wind (which I am also expecting, but which I’ve seen), and it turned out to be the Wings of Creation hardbacks. The book design is very...Daybreak, Killer Bunnies, Wings, and Geeks

We have lost a giant in the history of our nation with the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
It is heartbreaking that in her final moments she was, as are many others, preoccupied with what would happen after her passing.
I want to make one thing clear: we can, and must, fight. https://twitter.com/nprpolitics/status/1307101950115229696
Just days before her death, as her strength waned, Ginsburg dictated this statement to her granddaughter Clara Spera: "My most fervent wish is that i I will not be replaced until a new president is installed." https://trib.al/2q7vg0g
You do not need to, nor should you, ignore your fears - there is plenty to be afraid of - but we have possibilities before us.
We can win, we can succeed, but we cannot do it alone. We will need the people.
We must get to work.
Everyone matters.
Everyone has something to give.
