Another Short One

Allergies are kicking my butt, yet I soldier on. I'm outlining my third paranormal cozy mystery, and getting ready to ramp up marketing efforts for my first self-published book, Before Baker Street. It's a collection of short pieces, some of them previously published, about the adventures of teenaged Sherlock Holmes. He's joined for a couple of them by his cousin, Tom Stubbins -- formerly assistant to Dr. John Doolittle, the man who could speak with animals. So, yes, there are animals involved. I enjoy doing these "mash-ups," and I think these came out quite well. Holmes also interacts with some other literary figures, but I'm going to keep their identities secret for now. I will drop one name -- Bram Stoker. No, not his best-known character, Dracula; Stoker himself, who was something of a character in his own right. I'm also including a couple of familiar names from the works of Jules Verne.

And in closing, here's another painting I did about 15 years ago. Oil on board, about 14" x 12", if I remember correctly. (I can't be exact because the painting is in a private collection.)

    A Sherlock Holmes/Dr. Doolittle crossover seems like something that should happen.

Blog Post #2 - Short and Sweet

I 'm still learning my way around this whole blogging thing. I am supposedly -- supposedly -- updating this thing every Wednesday and Sunday. Well, today is Sunday and I forgot to do it before now, which is 6:15 pm.  In the interest of keeping this short, because supper is almost ready. I will simply say that this week I submitted two short stories, a new one and one that has been making the rounds. I also did some work on the cozy mystery I am ghostwriting. Ghostwriting is something I have come to enjoy over these past few years. I started out by doing an autobiography for a former member of the writers group I was a member of back in Doylestown. He was a fairly well-known clinical psychologist. I enjoyed the experience, though I have since learned how to do it better. My next ghostwriting gig took place a couple of years later and was easier for me, as it was a science-fiction novel. I'd previously (and subsequently) written and published a fair bit of sf over the years, so t

I Had a Good Week

R eally, I did. Four days ago I sold a short story, one that I had put a lot of work into. It was originally written in 2019, and got some nice personal responses from a few magazines, including Analog and The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction . (Gratifying, but neither  bought it.) However, it has sold, to an anthology. More details later. I can't even reveal the title just yet. I also sold a novel, to Readict: An End to Housework , which is more or less mainstream with some speculative elements. I wrote the book ahem cough  years ago, and have occasionally revisited the manuscript to update it. Housework  was definitely experimental. What actually kicked it off was my reading of Cancer Ward by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. That, plus the underground comics of Dave Sheridan and Fred Schrier. The novel (mine, not  Solzhenitsyn's) has three interlude sections that were originally meant to be drawn, like a graphic novel. But it would have taken me too long to do that, so I ended

Other Early Writing Influences

 L ike most if not all writers, I began reading -- omnivorously -- at an early age. But I was drawn to "fantastic" literature almost from the start. I read juvenile stuff like Louis Slobodkin's The Spaceship Under the Apple Tree (and its sequel), the Zip-Zip books by John Schealer, and so on -- the former being chapter books, as I now know, and the latter more like what one would call YA (young adult) fiction now. (I have since tried to find the Zip Zip books, in vain. There were at least a couple of them. Zip Zip and His Fying Saucer  was another. Zip Zip was a kid from Mars, who would punctuate his speech with occasional exclamations of "Zip!" which apparently was his way of venting excess "mental energy," or something like that, because human communication was too easy for him.) In the library of my grade school I found the Space Cat books by  Ruthven Todd, which I loved. I also came across the Freddy the Pig books by Walter R. Brooks (who also cr
