Inclusivity? You’re soaking in it…

                    My books are inclusive. I take some extra effort to make them so. Are they perfect? No. Are they going to hit you over the head with how inclusive they are? No. But they are. Take for example, the characters in the latest book “The Forever Diamonds,” which came out yesterday. Of the 15 characters, 7 are female, 7 male, 1 is non-gendered. 9 are People of Color, 5 are White, and 1 is a reptile (very pretty color reptile though). Two of the men are lovers. A woman has … Continue reading Inclusivity? You’re soaking in it…

Privilege is the Invisible Ink

I believe on some cellular level this taught me to really enjoy every moment of life as much as possible. I try to live in the moment, in the present, as much as possible. People ask me: don’t you feel old? 48 years is a long time, but I really prefer it to the alternative! I am very happy to receive the birthday wishes of folks on Facebook and beyond. … Continue reading A new day, a new year of life!

Metahumans Rising Kickstarter!

I am contributing to the stretch goals of a new game kickstarter! This is a “Bronze Age” super hero game called “Metahumans Rising.” Here’s the writeup for my stretch goal: $6,400: The Dread of Bayou Sauvage (Writer Sam Chupp) Your team has been called to New Orleans, where there have been recent strange, serial murders: victims found bled out, bizarre suicides, deaths by mauling, and a body literally crushed flat as if it had gone through a steel press with claws. The bar-room gossip, the word on the street, and the recent urban legends whisper of werewolves, ghosts, hellfire-wreathed revenants, swamp … Continue reading Metahumans Rising Kickstarter!
