On Sunday we launched the Rinth Radio Hour podcast with a recording in front of an audience at No Label Brewery in Katy, TX. Chris Carson, our sound engineer, informed me the episode is finished. Will be reviewing the episode. Should be available for download next week!

Rest in peace Fang, my writing buddy and strange dog who liked to hang out with me.

Fang is our 13-year-old schnauzer. He has been a weird, grumpy dog who has grown on me, turning into my office buddy. His liver & kidneys are shutting down, causing pain and anxiety even with pain medicine. Today is the day we scheduled his pain to end I can’t tell him enough what a good boy he is.

I never thought I’d see this fashion trend get more popular than ripped jeans.

Smaug was a job creator, he earned that mountain of gold. Plus he had autism, which is why it sometimes looked as though he was burning people to death with his fire-breath.

My mood…

When you write part of a chapter to your WIP one night then the next day te-read it because it was so fun to write, then think to yourself, “Who is this guy? Why was I not reading him years ago?”

Before toddlers had juice boxes, vampires had rats.

Groundhog Day News: after seeing his shadow cross today’s headlines, the local groundhog bought 4 year’s of reading material, fled back to his hole and barricaded himself in.

#BlackHistoryMonth

How about a travel guide to a sci fi world released a section every other month and paired with bags of candy featuring flavors from that month’s region? Looking for reviewers for the CANDY, especially YouTube/Tik Tok/Insta reviewers. Let me know if interested and please re post. Thanks!

I hope it hasn’t escaped anyone’s attention that God kicked off Trump’s inauguration with snowfall in Texas.

Feb 16 we will be launching a multi-genre fiction podcast with voice actors doing a script reading in front of a live audience. It’s going to be fun!

Trump’s upcoming inauguration raises two questions: 1) Who has the map to the volcano? and 2) What magical item do I have to throw into it?

An early milestone of adulthood is mastering laundry. Then you get married and have kids and wake up one day to find that your daughter’s clothes sometimes look like your wife’s and your son’s are indistinguishable from yours. That is the Universe telling you to let go of the illusion of control!

I see other people complain about sex bots on this site, but I’m never DMed by them. It makes me wonder why robots don’t find me attractive anymore.

Dog Olympics 2025: Synchronized Sleeping “Oh no! What an upset! The Houston team is half a REM cycle out of sync! That’s going to be a big deduction and give the Romanians an opening to swoop in for the gold!”

It is a little-known fact that Pulitzer Prize winning author Harper Lee raised birds. She set a world record with her two kilo mockingbird.

Remember The Chronicles of Amber? What forgotten gems of the 70s, 80s and 90s do you wish we could see more of?

Details as they develop, but Feb 16 will be launching a fiction podcast with live script reading in front of an audience. Should be a lot of fun!

No one sums up Christmas like Baldor

What it’s like having a dog with your morning coffee.

There should be a word for the thumb pain you wake up with the morning after button mashing a video game controller with your kids. Thumbpocalypse? Videonitis? Suggestions?

What are you reading today? I’m starting chapter 4 of Wistful Ascending by @jcmberne.bsky.social

I feel like I’m always telling Dad jokes, but my readers have described me as witty and sometimes even laugh-out-loud funny. My wife settled this discrepancy by letting me know that I’m not under any circumstances funny. So glad that’s clarified.

Meanwhile in the USA we see the beginning of a new tradition for New Year’s Day in which the bonfire is held in the back of a truck.

I’m pretty sure this isn’t because the accommodations are that much better.

Enter the year you turned 10ish into the gif bar and see what was popular back then…
