Brother Love 3 — A Hymn

Jinx and the guitar player has definitely piqued my interest.

Brother Love 2 — A Shadow

Hmmm, that left a little chill. Looking forward to the next meet at the crossroads.

There are many things on my mind that I want to share with you today. If I had known about the most recent one before yesterday, I would have done a midweek post. First let me welcome you…

Study area in the Cathedral of Learning, by Dan Antion

Welcome to my sanctuary. The sanctuary may be found in a quirky Tennessee town called Atonement. It might be at a diesel-punk train station with an outrageous flapper named Lulu. Or it could even be found at a steampunk submarine port, with an alchemist named Cornelis. For now, my sanctuary has moved to a crossroads in a rural Mississippi town sometime in the late 1950s to early 1960s. So, I also welcome you to the crossroads.

Yes, my blog is my sanctuary — a place where I can feel safe from the world. It’s…

Happy May Day, my chuckaboos! I hope your month is off to a pos-i-lutely fabulous start.

I continue to settle into my high desert cottage, painting walls, pulling weeds, and generally getting adjusted. (The weed pulling led to a bad allergic reaction that I’m still trying to get over… I’m looking a lot like the Creature from the Black Lagoon, particularly around my eyelids.) So, for the time being, I will not be doing a midweek series.

However, for you weekday readers, I want to let you know that I do have a new feature! Each Saturday Dan Antion and I collaborate for Brother Love, my new spontaneously written serial. He provides photos to inspire me and illustrate the posts. He also gives me two of the “three things” that drive this unplanned serial. …

Happy weekend, everyone! It seems like such a long time since I did an “interactive” serial with reader participation. Well, I’m finally back with a new spontaneously written, pantser story done in my “Three Things” way of writing. I’m delighted to bring you the first installment today!

Blogger Dan Antion collaborates with me on this new story. He provides photos to inspire me and illustrate the posts. He also gives me two of the “three things” that drive this unplanned serial. The third thing comes from you the reader!

Some of you read the original introduction I posted recently, when I shared how this idea began about a year ago. I’ve revised it to fit this collaborative effort and include the first three things. Now that part is Chapter 1 — but first I have the Prologue. On a…

Back on The Train Lulu by Rob Goldstein

Happy weekend, everyone! I’m still settling in at my new digs in the Land of Enchantment, painting the walls, putting furniture together, and generally keeping every muscle in my body sore.

Crystal the cat seems to have made the adjustment. A few nights I’ve heard her making a midnight romp, and this morning, she wanted to play with her collection of bouncy and fuzzy balls! She also insists on approving any decorating.

Coming Right Up

I’ve mentioned that San Francisco artist, poet, and activist, Rob Goldstein and I got back together with a short story for Lulu, Gramps, and the enigmatic Valentino. I call it “One Million Years B-Lulu.” It’s a little riff on the old movie “One Million Years BC.”

Rob has made terrific illustrations for it. He really got…
