(Hieronymus Bosch “Visions of Hell” vs. Robert McCall, “The Prologue and the Promise”) I posted another excerpt from The Alchemy of World and Soul. This one is about Apocalypse vs. Utopia. It starts like this: The sunshine was like an ocean of light,...

Found out late last night that Jerry Pournelle passed away a few days ago on the 8th of September. The news left me saddened. I’ve been meaning to write him a note ever since I reread Lucifer’s Hammer last summer to mention the influence he (and Larry Niven) had on me...

I’ve been silent because I’ve been writing. I’ve finally finished the first draft of RSG Volume 2, called for now The Lost Temple. It’s a little over 300,000 words right now. I’ll trim some and add some (for the Miscellany at least)....

A few of the things I’ve been watching lately. Doctor Strange I saw this twice in a row (because my wife fell asleep the first time) and I loved it just as much the second time through. Benedict Cumberbatch is cornering the market o hyper-intelligent, arrogant...

A few of the things I’m listening to this week. Doyle Bramhall II – Rich Man I’ve been waiting for 16 years for Doyle Bramhall’s to release a new album. I loved Welcome and have all his other music. He’s brilliant. The new album is worth...

The Onaia Gazetteer –– your guide to the world of Realms of Shadow and Grace — is finally posted to the website. Although both the Onaia Gazetteer and the Miscellany of Artefacts are available in The Dragon Star, I decided it would be good to have...

The Magicians I don’t know why I watch this show. I sort of enjoyed the first season, but not as much as I’d hoped. I find the characters veer between annoying to enjoyable far too often. And some never veer from annoying at all. The second season I spent...

It’s been a year since Prince passed away from an accidental drug overdose. It’s still hard to believe that there will never again be a new Prince song. There will be songs from the vault, but that’s not the same thing. The joy of being a Prince fan...
