Tales of the Whethermen

Are you still with me, here? Are my fans still checking in despite my absence? I hope so. Although I haven’t had my schedule and discretionary time quite as hard-slammed by my new (well, new as of January) job as chief editor as my predecessor seemed to have (i.e. I don’t think I’m putting in […]

I came off closing out the February issue of the magazine I’m now heading up as chief editor to go into a week of vacation (does anyplace other than New England subject parents to a weeklong vacation between the Christmas-time break and Spring Break?) with my daughter in the house a lot, so my fiction […]

The disadvantage of being hired to take over as chief editor of the magazine on which I currently serve as managing editor is that for a couple weeks now, I’ve been doing my job, learning my chief editor’s job and…and an added unexpected bonus, training my successor for the magazine editor job about a month […]

The vast majority of the images I have been using on this blog are now removed, after I got a very evil letter from a very large company telling me I was in violation of using an image (at another blog of mine, for a five-year-old post hardly anyone even viewed) and demanding a ridiculously […]

So, as I was working on the latest chapter of “The Gathering Storm” (almost done), I realized that most of the chapters and one-shot stories at the blog had no italics in them.

In case you’re wondering what distracted me from getting to new fiction around here the past couple weeks, you can read this: Handy(ish)man Part 2: Revenge of the Wallpaper While you’re doing that, I’ll be getting started on some fiction…assuming that decades-old dust and wallpaper microfragments, along with paint fumes, haven’t killed all my creative […]

I’m on the last 30 or so heroes, villains, etc. to catalog in my omnibus character bio document for Tales of the Whethermen, so expect some new fiction in the near future. In the meantime, does anyone want a sampling of a few more characters (as yet unseen) like I did with a couple previous […]

Life events, including the renovation of Number One Son’s old room into Younger Daughter’s room-to-be have kept me away from the fiction writing, but I’ve been continuing to plug away at the omnibus document of future characters here at the Whethermen site, and I see the light at the end of tunnel, which means I’ll […]

As with so many personal projects  in life, they not only get away from me but decide to do so at the same time that life dramas are swirling around me. I have tons of stories in my head, but you may have been wondering what I’ve been up to while you’ve been (too) patiently […]

I know it doesn’t look any different, really, but there’s a new home now, as you’ll notice from the URL. Yes, I’ve gone the hosted route, and will be moving my others blogs over here too. If you were a subscriber to Tales of the Whethermen before, I don’t know if that subscription will carry […]
