Just because your whole life is going to hell doesn't mean you have to walk there.

I am also a Kentucky Colonel and an Honorary Mayor of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, among other things.

I write novels and other things.

I do not read SF as much as I used to. It's too much like a busman's holiday.

If you got what it takes, you'll make it. If you don't, Shakespeare couldn't help you.

I am a registered Democrat and two-time unsuccessful candidate for office.
