Jack of Harts

Kamala was the last person in the room when it was decided to abandon Afghanistan, and she is comfortable with that decision based on her last interview on the subject. That decision released thousands of terrorists into the country that were held at our last base, one of which decided to attack us. Our people knew who he was. They saw him testing their security. They asked for permission to engage him before he got into killing range and were denied it. He killed 13 Americans, wounded 48 more, and killed or wounded hundreds of Afghans. Joe and Kamala’s ordered allowed that man to kill Americans. Never Forget.

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. 😉

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 it’s made me better. And I think they’ve done a good job of giving other authors a venue to showcase their work and get paid for it. That’s sorta their motto. Have fun. Get paid. Check them out. I’d be willing to bet that at least one of their anthologies will tickle one of your interests.
