This morning I took the pup out for a hike in the local rainforest, which is filled with mushrooms, mosses, cedars, marshes, and little items thine these berries here.

Another stormy day here.

I’ll be the first to admit that the most far-flung bit of speculation I indulge in in The Kabrakan Ascendency (aka The Antithesis Progression)is the Persian Empire having Zoroastrianism as its state religion, rather than Islam.

During the first week every month, you will find a new free short story here for your reading pleasure–after which, it will diminish to a sample.

This week on Free Will, Jade looks for an apartment, Jim makes a discovery, and Joss learns about infiltration.

Last night, I got no writing done.

Technically, this one should have gone up late last night, but I don’t like posting two posts too close together.

So. copyright infringement has been a a hot topic over the last year, as numerous high-profile and/or much-blogged about cases have been circulating in the news.

A gorgeous day here on the coast.

Since I last updated this series in June, the slings and arrows of outrageous life events knocked me of my writing horse.

It’s been clear to me for a few years now that The Antithesis Progression has branding issues.

I have been a fan of Gregg Taylor and his thrilling throng of thespians over at Decoder Ring Theater since before he even had a proper website.

This week on Free Will, Jim goes cat hunting, Joss meets and old friend, and Ali learns what “home” means.

In July of this year, Luke Atkins stepped through a door 25,000 feet in the air over the New Mexico desert without a parachute.

The next adventure in the Antithesis/Mannix/Kabrakan universe is here!

Free Will is back again for more mystery, more intrigue, and more full-cast goodness!

For those of you following the Nanocast, the Blogging Antithesis Series, and who have been suffering long for the want of the Free Will podcast, a quick update: I had an opportunity to do a YA adventure novel for a big event coming up, but I had a very th…

Warning: The following is a longish post, and contains things some people might consider political.

I’ve been holding on to this one for a while.

Oh, man, what a difference a few days can make!

For a limited time, get one of my weirdest and chewiest mysteries along with eleven other forays into the realm where the human meets the inhuman in the Not Only Humans bundle at BundleRabbit.

June is here!

Oi.

Things are back in full swing here.

Sigh Sometimes, self discipline is a bitch.

Well, whatever I’ve been fighting the last week has cleared up.

Gorgeous day today.

The fatigue persists.

Another long day today, and a very good day.

I was awoken today after only four hours of sleep by a cold nose in my face.

Sorry I missed the blog yesterday.

Well, whatever virus or bacteria or mass hysteria I was fighting off seems to have fallen before the advancing armies of my epic immune system.

So, it turns out my brain fog on day 22 wasn’t just brain fog.

Today was an amazing day–gorgeous weather meant a beach walk with actual wading and swimming in the ocean, a rare treat this far north.

Please excuse the tardiness of the post.

Oooh, boy, there’s nothing that’ll wear you out faster than emerging from a long emergency.

Free Will is BACK!

A hell of a storm hit today–almost literally out of the clear blue sky, at four PM, and it blew hard and drove horizontal rain till well near midnight.

Ah, tax season, how do I love thee?

I missed this blog post last night, so I’m doing two tonight.

Sundays are normally the downtime-day in the Sawyer house.

If you’re looking for the daily writing blog, I’m currently doing a very late writing shift after taking most of the the day off.

This weekend is birthday weekend–not mine, but one that I’m happy to celebrate anyway.

Some days, things go sideways.

Another long day, but a good one.

Taxes!

Boy oh boy, today was a day that illustrated the great peril of beta readers.

Gorgeous day out there today.

Sundays are typically my slow day.

Yesterday afternoon, I crashed hard.
