I never got laid here! That thought occurred to me when I was giving away my bed to some guy who came to get it “My girlfriend told me to come get it,” he said, and I thought – well, at least somebody is going to fuck in this bed. (I can almost hear my…
I’ve always wanted to be a home-owner and up to this point, I’ve been thwarted by economics. I could never get enough to make a decent offer in the beautiful places I’ve lived – or to qualify for a mortgage with my self-employed hustle lifestyle. When I finally did manage to get enough money together…

I’ve completed the recording, editing, art work, and releasing of all 23 Chapters and the Prelude to my unreleased novel Hasan-i-Sabah. I’ve done this backwards by releasing the audiobook first – because we all know – people don’t have the time or energy to read these days – but they still love to hear a…
I’ve been developing the concept for a storytelling game called Conspiracy for several years. Actually, if you go back to 1984 when 12-year-old me first started thinking about how this might work – you would find me sitting in my room wishing there was a more efficient way to program my brand new Commodore-64 while…
