In these challenging times, I hope this brings a smile...

1. The title of my upcoming Jack West Jr book is:

The Two Lost Mountains

(2. And in a few days I'm going to release a brand-new short story for FREE! I think we all need some free entertainment right now.)

Hoping the short story is a Jack West Jr short story.

Books? they still make books? Just joking, I generally read online. Not currently reading, but with the virus, I might get back into it.

The last series I read had to do with a society that had learned to do almost anything with their computers and had gotten so dependent on it, that it was beginning to affect their birth rates (who wanted to carry a baby for 9 months when you could have a computer generated child that was indistinguishable from a real one). Part of their problem was they had increased their lifespan so much they never thought about children.

Then a war broke out between a group that believed in pure humans and those that had altered their bodies to be just about anything conceivable (there were even some that had given up their bodies and become computer programs). During the beginning of the way, they lost every part of their computer based society and had to learn once again how to walk between places and to actually interact with real humans. There some semi funny things at the beginning about some people actually having to learn to go to the bathroom without computer controlled microbots getting rid of the waste from inside.

I really hope I can find this one and if it seems familiar to anyone please let me know the name.

On page 152 of Galactic Corps. David just posted on Facebook:

Upcoming Event Group Teaser for Master of the World...

This tale could have starred three actors from the past...James Arness, Cecil Callaway and James Whitmore...blood, sand, and Formic Acid...what happens in Las Vegas, you better hope stays in Vegas!...what is the storyline?


Glad he's doing alright. He hopes it comes out in June but I'm still expecting it to be delayed to Winter 2021.

Currently reading 'Memoirs of a Geisha' by Arthur Golden. May just be one of the best books I have ever read, honestly. Before I started reading, I wasn't aware that there was a (rather famous?) film adaptation made back in 2005.

New welcome to the night vale book: The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives In Your Home


Andy just revealed a small detail about The Resurrection Key: (Nina is already pedantically pointing out that 666 is quite possibly a transcription error and the actual Number of the Beast is 616...)

Can't go to mom's house until current events are resolved so I haven't been reading much, just a few pages when I sit on a bench outside.

In THE RESURRECTION KEY, someone impersonates Nina on a Facetime call using Deepfake software. The story's actually set a few years from now - but the tech is already here!

On page 166 of Galactic Corps. Will try to read a few pages every time I'm waiting for my takeout.
