Happy Father's Day to all...to my own, who never got to meet my children on this plane, and to those same children who made me a father. It's a often strange, sometimes difficult, and always wonderful ride.

Words can't express how proud I am of my daughter Senavene, one of the best people I know and now a high school graduate. She's been a wonderful child, and will be an even better adult. But she'll always be the light of my life.

Happy birthday (well, day after birthday, but his party is today) to my ten year old son! Raising a boy in today's world is...a lot, to say the least. But I'm glad we've got a kind, sensitive, and caring one.

My mother, who toured with The Sound of Music in the 60s and who, in many ways, never got the fair shake she should have. Love you, Mom, wherever you are; been thinking about you a lot today.

A "please touch grass" review thread. Yesterday, my son saw me reading my Kobo and asked if my books were available on it. So I pulled up my novel Grayshade, and saw the attached review. 1/?

A book review of Grayshade which reads: "The author displays a contempt for readers. Having to reread sentences and paragraphs multiple times to make sense of whether the narrative is referring to a group or singular, purely because the author is pushing an ideology, demonstrates a narcissistic superiority complex more interested in satisfying those within the echo chamber than creating a manuscript that isn't a burdensome chore to read. Being inclusive is great, but don't demand readers unravel eight instances of singular and plural in a single sentence. It's just a dime store novel, not the Iliad. The tale wasn't worth finishing."
