Sometimes Just Take a Day Off…
So It Is Christmas Eve… I have no plans to take any time away from my office, mostly because after this last fall, I am just so far behind, and I want to be ready to get writing solidly into the new year. But even with that, I watched a holiday movie tonight before heading up here again. I doubt that Kris will take any time off either. She has sent out six updates on her challenge Sprint to 2024 and she is really enjoying the writing. But as two professional writers, we will spend some holiday time together, including a turkey meal (sort of taking the place of our…

31 Years Married!
Sickness and Health Tends to Go In Waves… This last year was my turn to have issues, from being mostly blind for three months to smashing my shoulder while running too fast and getting a Titanium replacement. Kris had the duty of taking care of so much more than normal this year. So thanks, Kris for the great 31 years of marriage so far (even though we celebrate when we met in May which will be 38 years), I want to remember that great wedding day on the top of the hill on our tree farm, us bundled in our ski parkas. We got married amid the uncut Christmas trees…

2023 Good Cheer StoryBundle!
All Short Stories This Year! And a lot of them. We figured we all might now have time to read holiday novels, but always time here and there for a holiday short story or two. Here is Kris explaining the project and the books of stories included. This is a really fun one, folks! —– The 2023 Good Cheer Bundle – Curated by Kristine Kathryn Rusch The holiday season goes by so very fast. I always have a dozen books lined up to read, filled with holiday stories to make me smile—or, in some cases, grimace. I do holiday charity runs, look at some of the free holiday events here…

Star Trek Stuff
Still Typing with One Hand… So a Blast from 2012! I wrote this originally in 2012, over a hundred novels ago… I have republished it at least once, but it is good Trek history. ————— Last week in the mail (2012) I got this huge packet of royalty statements from Pocket Books. Now understand, when I say huge, I mean huge. Maybe 200 pages. I’ve written shorter novels to be honest. These statements are only for the books I did with Pocket Books that are still in print in one form or another. And a bunch of them are Star Trek books of one sort or another. Looking through those statements,…

Still Braced…
Getting Some Exercise… We were scheduled for a 3.8 mile charity run today. Kris and Ron and Lisa Collins and Brigid Collins did the entire thing.

Glittering Lights Pajama Run…
My Favorite Run Every Year… Through massive holiday lights under and around the Las Vegas Speedway. And hundreds of families in matching pjs. Really cute and a great way to start off the holiday season. Wasn’t sure I could make it this year after the surgery just over a week ago, but I did. I didn’t run, of course. But I walked the mile without problems with a lot of families. Great fun. Here are some pictures. Kris putting on her Santa hat Writers Ron and Brigid Collins Me and my finisher medal. Kind of proud of this one. Kris hanging up her medal

Alive and Still Moving…
Wonderful Dinner… At Resorts World (location of the anthology workshop in July) with Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta. Anf, of course, Kris. My first real outing. Back with the doc tomorrow to see how things are going and to start PT on my new artificial shoulder. I learned tonight that in the hospital the first time and other times along the way someone would look at my age and ask Kris if I could stand, did a I fall trying to get the remote or something like that, and she would have to tell them over and over that I tripped and fell running full speed in a 5K…
