Wobegone Days

September 5, 2026

There’s this and then there’s that, And then there’s this again. The addition doesn’t add up. Pages don’t make a book. Breaths are just air flowing across the universe.

We Are Survivors

September 1, 2026

Want to know how to survive the fall of America? This book, released today (e-version; paperback a week from now), won’t tell you how to do that. Not exactly, but it will distract you maybe from the actual fall. Lol. When I write a book, I always come up, with an acronym to refer to…

August 8, 2026

I walk on floors that shake. Dark corners have eyes peering from them. The water rises on both sides of a road with nothing but a thin sapling of a tree to hold unto. I can’t find my way back home. My fingers can’t type a phone number, and I can’t remember it anyway. Whoever…
