I often make playlists for writing. Usually they’re just songs that play well for certain genres, but when I’m writing something longer, I make a playlist for that specific project. Here are the top songs from my Four Corners playlist.
Four Corners and my addiction to research
My third novel is released today!
It’s a bit of craziness involving conspiracies woven through time, secret libraries of lost information hidden in what appear to be derelict buildings in the desert, psychedelic 70s western films, the Wild Bunch, the ancestral Puebloans, and so much geology.
Prog Rock
When I was growing up it always seemed like I could only like one type of music. Maybe that’s a folly of youth, maybe it’s a sort of binary brainwashing that takes education to overcome: just because something’s good doesn’t mean the other thing is bad.
A Distant Mirror and Fire and Blood
I recently read two great books: A Distant Mirror by Barbara W. Tuchman and Fire And Blood by George R.R. Martin.
Like many who start a blog, this isn’t my first rodeo. I livejournaled back in the day before it became hacker no man’s land, I have a Goodreads blog, but it occurred to me that not everyone has a Goodreads account, I have seen attack cruisers off the shores of Orion… or perhaps that last one is someone else’s memory. Damned implants, it’s so hard to tell which are my memories.
