WILDFIRE!
I’ve lived through a hurricane, the Columbus Day Storm of 1962, a number of disastrous Silver Freezes, but overwhelmingly, my memories are of wildfires.
Wildfires are living entities, a ferocious predator. Forests can’t run, and you can feel their terror on the blast furnace wind as the fire consumes them tree by tree.
i have come home after work and seen my house surrounded on three sides (I need to draw that!) to the top of the ridgeline with fire. I have been evacuated from the hills by boat with wildfire racing down the mountain behind me (I need to draw that!).
So much of my remembered history is woven together by tongues of fire.

Amazing Customer Service
I don’t even need to make stuff up today. No fiction involved here. Just a cut and paste of the email exchange I had with an Alaska Airlines rep. Though I sort of wanted to rip him a new you-know-what, I also had to laugh really hard. He’s ballsy. Email from me via Alaska’s “contact […]

It’s all the puppy’s fault
You’ve heard of kids blaming their dog for eating their homework, right? Well, I’m going to hop on the old bandwagon and say that my new puppy is the reason I’ve not hammered out more chapters in my latest novel, and why my floors are less clean than I like them to be if I’m […]
