Sword and planet action with a feline twist!

The kittens cry out for water, and the princesses fight alongside their mates to provide for them. Moggies of Mars is a loving tribute to the Barsoom series of Edgar Rice Burroughs! Explore the moons, the planets, and the canals that never were! Amazing tails are waiting for you…

Coffee Adventures

Raconteur is publishing another anthology this weekend, and I will be doing the same on my substack. For now, I suggest you take another look at a previous anthology they published that had one of my stories in it. In Coffee Adventures, you never know where a good brew will take you, or what you will do for a good brew. In my story, Another Perfect Cup, Captain William Carter and his fine faery lady Joanna find themselves doing important and dangerous things with an amazing brew as the final reward. This story covers the second day they know each other. He saved her soul on the first day. What will he do on the second date?

Miami Red

We are often limited by the technology of our time. But sometimes technology advances even as we are watching it.

Captain William Carter is a man who has seen technology advance from the horse and buggy to the locomotive and all the way to the automobile and beyond.

In Miami Red, I wanted to write the feeling of speed, of never slowing down, of having a literal deadline and buying time at every turn. The picture I chose for my substack image I thought managed to convey that feeling.

And now Grok Imagine is allowing people to put pictures to video, and it is very good at what it does. I’ve been testing it, and this was one of my earlier tests. Speed sounds like revving engines and squealing tires and it fits the feel I was going for.

I bring everything you need to play, so all you have to bring is yourself.

Yourself and clothes. Please. I will consider it a gift.
