In progress …
Rounded out my site today by adding content to my projects page. For now it lists books I’m working on in one fashion or another, ordered by importance. For now TERMINAL is still my main focus through Winter/Spring, as things move forward I’ll add posts and progress reports on the page so you can have a one stop link to know how the writing is going.
Goal is to work through these in the next 24-36 months. Some day the horse will catch up to the cart, I promise.
Where have all the poems gone?
Last summer I posted a series of poems I produced between 1987-1997 (or there abouts) and tagged them as “Throwback Thursday.” As I shifted my site around, there really wasn’t any home for these poems, so I’ve finally put together a page listing them.
According to stats many still get quite a bit of traffic, so that’s pretty cool. I wanted new people to get a chance to read them, so take the poetry link at the top of my site or just click below:
Hope you enjoy. Maybe I’ll get back in the mood and write a poem or two again.
52Books: 7th Son: Descent by J.C. Hutchins
I bought 7th Son: Descent by J.C. Hutchins in early November and since then we’ve been playing a little shell game. Much like Good Omens, which I bought in ‘91 or ‘92, I managed to set it down and misplace it, only to find it again and start the cycle over.
Thankfully this little game of cat and mouse with Descent won’t be played out for nearly a couple decades. I managed to anchor on and keep the book at my side until I finished this last week. (I really should find Good Omens again)
Like Good Omens part of the precarious cycle is born out of a familiarity with Descent. Not because I’ve read the first 50 pages nearly a hundred times, but because I’ve heard it all before, at least the beginning of the 7th Son saga.
7th Son: Descent began life, at least to the public eye, as a podcast serialized and performed by the author, J.C. Hutchins. And I’ve heard the first words oh so many times over and over.
“The President of the United States is dead. He was murdered in the morning sunlight by a four year old boy.”
