We found hyperspace in 2105 and the Great Space Race began. Alliances, nations, corporations, and religions reached out for the stars and humanity spread beyond the Solar System. We learned the answer to one of the oldest questions of all time in 2205. Are we alone? They brought medicines with them that nearly wiped out diseases, and extended the human lifespan into the centuries. They helped us study advanced technologies, and we expanded our colonies hundreds of lightyears from Earth. It was a golden age that many thought would never end.

Jack grew up in a world at peace, his only interests, partying and girls. But then an alien sneak attack killed millions of Americans, and wiped out almost everything and everybody Jack knew. He volunteered to serve and kick the alien scum back to the other side of the galaxy. But the Marines wanted more than people looking for revenge, and cybernetic partners demanded a far higher commitment. If Jack wanted to earn his commission as a Marine Corps fighter pilot, he had to grow up. He had to let himself be forged into something stronger than he’d ever wanted to be. He had to live up to the name of his squadron.

The Republic of Texas Marine Corps Fighter Attack Squadron 112. The Cowboys.

Antifa

The Charlie Kirk tour ended this week at Berkley California. It was a big event, and many people showed up to remember him.

Antifa showed up to attack those people. They physically assault them. They shouted chants celebrating that Charlie Kirk was dead. They performed the now-standard action of pointing at their necks to celebrate the neck shot that killed Charlie Kirk as they tell the people they are looking at that they are next.

And of course Berkley was completely unable to secure the scene so the people could get into the event without first being attacked by antifa. I’m sure that had nothing to do with the fact that they were conservative and Berkley doesn’t like conservatives. I’m sure that Berkley did everything they could to keep everybody safe.

I’m sure they were just as surprised as everybody else that antifa wanted to hurt people they disagreed with.

Veterans Day

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the guns fell silent on Armistice Day.

Some call it Remembrance Day. Poppy Day. Others call it Veterans Day.

It is the day we remember those who died in war. The brave men who never came home.

In America we remember everyone who served because we already had a Memorial Day for those who died.

Whatever version of the day you remember, please take a moment to remember that we live in the world we see all around us because brave young men put their lives on the line to defend it.

Happy Birthday Marine Corps!

I’d like to wish a happy birthday to Uncle Sam’s Misguided Children. I mean the United States Marine Corps.

I have family who served in the Marine Corps, and many of the characters I write serve in the Marine Corps.

I seek to pay tribute to the best group of crayon eaters to ever live.

Thank you.

Writing Weekends

The last two weekends have been writing weekends for me.

I sit down, I write until I can’t think, I eat something, go to bed if I’m feeling sleepy, and then go do some more writing. Get a story done and pounded out and ready for edits.

I love writing weekends. They are fun and love how it feels to create something new in hopes that someone will read them soon.

Though I do have this feeling that I missed my every other week schedule to put stories up on my substack. I haven’t actually gone and checked you understand, but I feel like I missed it in all the crazy of writing. I’m probably going to have to go do something about that soon.

But I’ve written myself into a brain fog right now, I had a good cheeseburger, and now I’m going to sleep. And once I’m awake again, it will be time for some more writing the spiff the current story up. I want to make certain everything is in the write order before the weekend is done. Then I’ll find out where I am with the substack.

Wyld Magick

Three Raven’s Wyld Magick anthology is coming out this month. Approximately a week from now. It is an anthology built around the idea of worlds meeting and how they interact with each other.

In my story, Trickster, Captain William Carter goes to Santa Fe in 1877 in search of materials to augment his new rifle and make it better at fighting otherworldly creatures and threats to mankind. He finds an unhappy Indian Trickster spirit in town, and finds himself needing to do something about it.

Wyld Magick is up for preorder right now, if you wish to check it out.
