Looks like we’ll be getting some much needed rain in SoCal over the next few days. This is great for the fire situation. I’m looking forward to it as well. I find cool, cloudy weather ideal for writing. As you’ll see below, I’m getting very close to finally wrapping up the first draft of By…
Gregeration X Newsletter January 11, 2025-An Ominous Beginning
The new year has gotten off to quite an ominous start with two terrorist attacks on the first day, and now this week, devastating wildfires in southern California, specifically the Los Angeles area. And we’re just eleven days into the year! Thankfully, my family, friends, and I are safe and quite a way from the…
Gregeration X Newsletter December 28, 2024-Going out with a bang!
Reporting in from Disneyland. We’ve never been during the holidays, so my wife and I took our kids and her parents. The decorations are quite festive. It’s crowded, but not nearly as bad as I expected. We walked about a gazillion miles yesterday, and we’ll walk a gazillion more before heading home today. We haven’t…
Gregeration X Newsletter December 14, 2024-Promopalooza!
The holiday season is here. I just wrapped up meeting some pretty crazy deadlines at work, but have a few more days until I’m on vacation until after New Year’s. I’m so ready to slow down for a bit to enjoy my family, watch some movies, and read some books. Regarding the title of this…
Gregeration X Newsletter November 23, 2024-Here come the holidays!
As we head in to Thanksgiving week, I just wanted to say I am thankful for all of you. Writing, even though I don’t do it full time (yet), has been one of my dreams since I was very young. So that I get to write and all of you somehow are engaged in that…
Gregeration X Newsletter November 9, 2024-Star Frontiers and Beyond!
Halloween has come and gone, now the holiday season is fully upon us. Thanksgiving is bearing down on us whether we like it or not. I’m actually looking forward to it as I like this time of year. I’m not crazy like someone I know who put their Christmas tree up in October (that’s taking…
Gregeration X Newsletter October 26, 2024 – San Diego Comic Fest!
This weekend I’m at what will probably be my last in-person event for the year, the San Diego Comic Fest. My oldest son and I drove down to Carlsbad yesterday. We set up our table and hung out for the opening night gala. As soon as I finish prepping this newsletter, we’ll be off to…
Gregeration X Newsletter October 12, 2024-The Stars Are Calling
I long to see the stars… Work, summer heat, smoke, and allergies have all conspired to keep me inside. Now, the weather is cooling off, it’s getting darker earlier, and work is settling down, so I’m making a concerted effort to get outside more. I’m sure my dogs will appreciate this, as they’ll benefit from…
Gregeration X Newsletter–September 28, 2024-Back At It!
When I sent out the last newsletter, I was just starting my vacation. The highlight of which was a 4-night cruise. It’s been 26 years since my last cruise, and I have to say, I forgot how nice they could be! I tuned out from everything: work, writing, the world. I focused on hanging out…
Gregeration X Newsletter September 14, 2024-Authorpalooza!
It’s mid-September already! The last eight to ten weeks have been super crazy with work, but I’m finally at the precipice of a well-earned vacation. I plan to relax and disconnect as much as possible. I’ll be recharging by diving in to some books, comics, manga, anime, movies, tv shows, and whatever else sparks my…
