AUTUMN HAS ARRIVED.
It is 42 degrees out — the temperature of life, the universe, and everything.
Normally, I hate when it gets cold, but fuck it — the summer overstayed its welcome.
So, here we are.
And today’s macro is a dead leaf with with droplets on it.
Here’s a couple things —

Something secret and special and as-yet-unannounced…
* * *
So, there you go.
And holy crap I get to meet and hang with Timothy Zahn. How exciting is that? (Answer: very.) Zahn is fundamental. Historic. And also writing a new Thrawn book, so…
And OOH one more thing, one more really cool thing:
My novella, The Forever Endeavor, is coming out October 25th from Fireside Fiction.
You can preorder it here:
It’s a book about Dale, an addict who finds a box that lets him time travel back in time ten minutes — but, spoiler warning, when he goes back, he discovers that he is no longer the Only Dale in town. And it’s a book about Walter, the cop who finds a pumpkin patch filled with dozens of dead bodies — dead bodies that appear to belong to the one guy. And it’s about how these two stories, um, intersect with the push of a button a time-traveling box.
(It also contains a bunch of little references to the Wendigverse.)
Anyway.
I think that’s all she wrote.

Aaaahhh, you’re touring… thus the reason for no Flash Fiction Friday prompts … okay, very cool! Sounds like a great and very fun, full schedule to keep you busy as hell! 😀
Wishin’ I was on your side of the planet to attend your book signings, Chuck! As next Wednesday (5th, October) is my birthday. 🙂

I love your novella name.
I had a story idea “For every endeavor”… where the lovestruck boy mishears her vow…

Come to Canada, we have lots of fall foliage! As an aside/pile of compliments, I just got an agent for my first book and your blog really helped me along my creative process – especially your post about why you stop reading a book. I really enjoy your snappy writing. So, in short, come to Canada! Your fans here want to meet you.

Does your novella have links to Robert Silverberg’s “Up the line” and the dangers of meeting oneself?
