I tell stories about your future. It’s not too scary, promise.😉 #Terrafide #scifi series More: http://linktr.ee/ucalthisreality
Here’s our problem: We’ve come so far, just to become so dumb. What do we do now?
I hope you’re having a creepy, cozy October. If you’re looking for a scare but not up for a novel, these stories are available in digital and print and can be read in an evening.
For those who prefer to listen to stories than read them, my award-winning sci-fi novel Stay Younger Longer is available on Audible. Published over 10 years ago, it calls out politics and technologies in a way readers say is more prescient than ever.
Returning to the office from lunch, I was swarmed by dozens of joggers in 98 degree heat. They call themselves the L.A. Stoner Club. No kidding.
By far the scariest thing about turning 50 this month is the ‘Welcome to the ‘50s Club‘ AARP offer I received in the mail today.
Frankfort Jr. High, circa 1990. Live every day like you’re in 8th grade.

You can keep the $5,000. I just want an autographed Trump Bible.
My daughter is fearless when it comes to horror movies, so last night I showed her one I thought might scare her, at least a little. It worked!
My wife is out of town this week, and I’ve been so busy with work, I’ve hardly noticed she’s gone. However, this evening, I did notice the toilet seat was up. My first thought was, how? Who do such a thing? Then, I realized it was me. Bachelorhood!
My buddy Simon Cardoza’s band Midnight Cities has a new single out today, “Makeup.” You can listen to it on all major platforms and watch the video on YouTube. youtu.be/HeXCBtASZcg

Took a walk around the block at lunch and saw a new set built at Center Studios. Sci-fi fans might recognize the name on the van, ‘Vault-Tec Industries.’ Also a view from my office window. #fallout
Night at the Hollywood Bowl with The Doobie Brothers and Santana. Good for the soul.
My daughter leaves a small handful of nuts on her balcony each morning for a mother squirrel. This is what happens if she forgets.
I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on - if your position is that the president of the United States and his family should be immune from IRS scrutiny, you’re unqualified to be the Attorney General. It’s an indictment on our entire system that 50 GOP Senators don’t agree.
Bumblebee greeting me at the auto shop. Hopefully my repair more than meets my budget. 😉
Writing update: Worlds War One/Worlds to Burn - Editing in August/September. This novel will complete my 5-book Terrafide series. Spring/Summer 2027 release.
Back from vacation! Roaming the office, catching up with coworkers, arriving in the men’s room, glancing in the mirror … Coffee stains splattered on my new white shirt. No one bothered to tell me I look like a crime scene.
