Moving Heads

I decided to update this post from yesterday to today just so I could add this updated professional pic of me, which I took earlier today. No, I'm not looking down my nose at you. My webcam was sitting on top of the CPU and I was sitting down in a chair. So I was.

Now, as for the video, don't ask me why I made it or why I posted it here. Then I won't have to come up with a reason and then I won't have to tell you what it is. OK, that takes care of that.

But, when I don't tell you why I made this video or why I posted it here, don't get the big idea that I'm hiding some great big secret from you or anything like that. That's why I posted this new pic of me. So I could be up front about how I look today, February 25th, 2013.

As for the video again, I'm not sure why I made it or why I posted it here. Hell, after 61 years, I'm allowed to not know something. So I am.

Moonlighting

This is another digital painting from the part of me that was always there, behind the part of me that was tagged and labeled and maneuvered through life by others and otherworldly forces. I like this part of me the best. This is also the part of me that writes and clowns around and who still thinks the world can be a better place for all of us, if we're willing to do the work to make that happen. Well, that's my little "mini lecture". It goes with the territory.

Me, Myself and I

When I turned fifty I realized I had to do something different with my life. I couldn't multi-task worth a damn, I can't dance and I could carry an elephant better than I can carry a tune. I'm 61 now and, like Harry Callahan told Lt. Briggs in the movie, Magnum Force, "A man's got to know his limitations." So, there it is.

The Truth Is Up and Running

After two years of writing and many, many set backs — including the loss of 30 pages that had to be rewritten from memory and several health issues on the home front — The Truth Is a Lone Assassin is finally a completed novella. This book is my second excursion into "literary science fiction" and my ninth written work. I published this book earlier today and it's available in trade paperback at Lulu.com. 

In a day or two the Kindle Edition will be "Live" at Amazon.com and then I'll post the promotional video for it. The paperback will be available at Amazon.com sometime in mid-March 2013. The 4-6 week delay is nothing more than the time it takes for any book to travel through regular distribution channels from The Lulu Marketplace. I will not make this book available at Barnes & Noble.com unless there is a demand for it there. My first novella, Blind Fool Running, is still languishing at B&N and that is unfortunate for everyone.

After a short break I'll probably (I'm not sure yet) go back to writing my tenth book and my seventh science fiction thriller, the one I began way back in March 2009 and then had to put on "hold" because of surgical and hospital emergencies for both me and my elderly mother. My tenth book is entitled "The IIIrd Option" and it's a hard science fiction story sculptured around several controversial metaphysical themes, including shadow life masquerading as real life and false human beings who populate planet Earth and many other worlds in The Milky Way Galaxy. It will be the most violent novel I've written so far. And there's a reason for that. The completion date for this thriller is open because I've scarcely begun writing it again.

Winter Pissing Contest

Of course I didn't post photos on the Internet of me or anybody else "taking a leak". Only a sick, degraded fool would do that. But I did use a low-life disgusting hyperbole to involve you in some Appalachian winter humor. For reasons I've been unable to fathom most of the world is head-over-heels fascinated at the very idea of men peeing. I think that somehow defines what we've become as a species. You follow? But, hey, it's not too late to fix that. Cultivating a clean mind is a lot easier than you think. One more thing. If you don't like the fact that I "caught you with your pants down" (another below-the-belt hyperbole), keep the damn things up.
