As noted below, my review of Jay Ingram's The Science of Pets was published in The Seaboard Review of Books in November. It was a wide-ranging and fun read, written in Ingram's entertaining style. Love the cover, too!
Hard to believe that it’s November already. As I draft this blog, the previous night’s snow is being slowly erased by a gently falling rain. Last night, the snow draped over the branches of the big white pine in the back yard was beautiful in the moonlight, but it was too good to last. The tree was likely grateful to rid itself of the burden, though.

What I’m
Working On
Like last
month, my expected focus is nonfiction pieces. That being said, that was my
target last month and shortly after posting the blog, I had several idea for
poems and short stories . . .
Coming Soon
On December
9, my flash fiction story “Saving TIM” will be available for viewing at the
Havok Publishing site. While subscribers have ongoing access to the site,
non-subscribers will be able to see the story on the publication date only. The
monthly theme invited stories taking a multiversal look at Dicken’s character
Ebenezer Scooge. My story puts a tech spin on Dickens’ tale, with TIM being a
not-so-tiny computer.
