Things To Do on a Holiday Weekend

November 19, 2021

We’ve all got holidays coming up, so I thought I’d offer ideas for fun things to do with the whole family. For instance, if your family happens to consist of 21,000 soldiers, you can form an image of President Woodrow Wilson, as these warfighters of Camp Sherman, outside Chillicothe, did back in 1918. They sure […]

Space Opera Soufflé

November 17, 2021

Taos Toolbox veteran Cat Rambo has dropped a new novel on us just today, folks! Here’s what she has to say about it. “Farscape meets the Great British Bake-off” is how they’ve been billing the book. It’s the story of a band of former mercenaries who’ve opened a restaurant on a space station and are […]

La Ruta

November 16, 2021

Our last full day in Spain. We were scheduled to fly out of Madrid the next morning, and we already had hotel reservations in the capital. It had been a kaleidoscopic journey, dashing from one corner of Iberia to another, like a butterfly dancing from one flower to the next. It was necessarily a bit […]

A coffee shop in Málaga had these tiles explaining the drinks on offer, with a handy Latin translation for those who don’t speak Spanish. Someone told us “They don’t actually make all of these,” which I discovered when I tried to order a Largo and the waiter just stared at me. I wonder what I’d […]

Boosting

November 5, 2021

I got my Covid booster yesterday, and today I find myself very tired, with a lot of body aches. Still, I don’t feel sick, and I’m able to function when I put my mind to it. I’ll be better tomorrow, or so I hope.

The Red Thingie

November 3, 2021

After three nights on the Costa del Sol, it was time to hit the breakfast buffet and ship out to view the wonders of Granada. A note of appreciation for Spanish hotel breakfast buffets. There’s fresh fruit, croissants, chocolate croissants, lots of crunchy and non-crunchy breads, juices, and a myriad of pork products like Serrano […]

Wolf Aprowl

November 1, 2021

My novelette Wolf Time is available as a free read from Bullet Points, a blog by Nathan Toronto devoted to “capture the complexity, tragedy, and hope of warfare and violence in human (and nonhuman) society.” There are other stories on the blog by David Drake, Tony Ballantyne, the ever-youthful H.G. Wells, and others. The story […]

On the Beach

October 28, 2021

As I mentioned a couple posts back, we planned three nights on the Costa del Sol as a kind of rest stop, though we managed not to get a lot of rest during our stay. Our route took us through the millionaires’ playground of Marbella, where we decided we could just about afford lunch. The […]

The Praxis Eternal

October 26, 2021

I’ve delivered the next Praxis book to my editor at Harper, so yay. It doesn’t have an official title yet because that’s still under discussion. (Right now I’m calling it “The Nameless.”) Nor does it have a publication date, though I’m guessing it might appear around this time next year. It will start right where […]

Canyonlands

October 20, 2021

After Sevilla we were more than a week into our action-packed trip, so we planned three nights at a beach resort for some Rest & Recreation. Not that we got a lot of Rest once we arrived, mostly on account of all our Recreation. Our way to the Costa del Sol took us through the […]
