I went to the Great Minnesota Get Together yesterday and man it was a hot one. The sun was out and baking. No clouds and no wind. The stalls with fans were awesome. The buildings with working AC were Heaven-sent. There was good food, good exhibits, and a lot of fun people to watch. There was a man dressed as the Mad Hatter on the bus leaving the fair at the end of my day. He was a better man than I. I wore a Hawaiian shirt and a baseball cap to protect myself from that scorching sun, and I was still got home a little pink. It was a good time, and I saw many a Never Waltz sign walking around the Fair and nary a Pro-Waltz sign. Listen to your friends in Minnesota my friends. đ
I have moved a lot of times in my life. I went to 14 schools all told. We sometimes moved multiple times in a single year. My dad was often looking for new jobs, and we would pack up the pickup with everything we could fit in it and go. If we couldnât put it in the pickup, it wasnât ours anymore. I remember us getting a U-Haul trailer ONCE. We didnât use moving trucks. We especially didnât use Mayflower moving trucks. They were for the rich people. Some people grew up rich and donât know it.
Raconteur Press has been nice enough to publish some of my short stories of late. They are all written as part of my Jack of Harts universe, but were imagined and created specifically for Raconteur. Following Raconteur guidelines for size and content. Writing to the specifications of others is a new thing for me, since most of my stuff I wrote for myself and then published. I think itâs made me better. And I think theyâve done a good job of giving other authors a venue to showcase their work and get paid for it. Thatâs sorta their motto. Have fun. Get paid. Check them out. Iâd be willing to bet that at least one of their anthologies will tickle one of your interests.
Captain Jack Hart is a Cowboy. A lawman.
Warâs End has come, but conflict has not ended.
Jack travels the stars in search of conflicts that need a hand to resolve.
The Guns of Liberty are loud, and sometimes a bit dusty.
Captain William âBillâ Carter rode with the Rangers since Sam Houston formed them to protect the scattered Texian settlements from Indians and other bandits. He signed up with a new name very decade or so for paperwork reasons, but some of the old hands never forgot the day they were young hands and Bill pulled them through a tough scrape with a Mexican nagual. The shapeshifters fought under both Spanish and Mexican flags from Texas, to Mexico City, to Cuba and beyond, and Bill always stood ready to face those and other otherworldly creatures and threats to mankind.
