Late 80s. I’m in Starbucks, Robson Street, Vancouver. Ahead of me is a guy who looks familiar but I can’t place him. As we’re doctoring our coffees, he turns to me and says “Son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash.” He winks, I smile, and he walks out. Cool guy. RIP

"Masterful… a singular voice. Between the Clouds and the River is a thought-provoking piece of writing that keeps you awake, turning pages, long into the dark." — DK Marley @histficcompany ​ 4.56 ⭐ Goodreads 4.60 ⭐ Amazon

"This is not just historical fiction, this is literature, in all its raw, sometimes visceral, moving, touching, heart-wrenching, visual, emotional, lush, brutal, beautiful, cinematic, and as-real-as-a-book-can-get pages." DK Marley @histficcompany Acquired for film and TV.

"A serious but accessible novel that earns its moments of hope. For all its gravity, it maintains a fundamental warmth… a genuine pleasure. Fair warning: keep tissues handy for the final chapters." — BookShelfie ​ 4.56 ⭐ Goodreads 4.60 ⭐ Amazon

Iran's military is decimated but also it is not and the war that is not a war is totally won but also the Pentagon needs $200 billion more to try to win the thing that is already won. cnn.com/2026/03/19/pol…

F35s and "precision guided smart bombs" are things generals wish they'd had in 1944. 21st century conflicts just ignore them. inews.co.uk/news/world/cut…

17% of Qatar LNG exports gone 3-5 yrs. -$20 billion annual revenue x 3-5. Damaged stuff cost $26 billion to build. Condensate exports -24%, LPG -13%, naphtha/sulfur -6%. Oh yeah, ExxonMobil owns a big chunk of all of that mess. Energy independence! bnnbloomberg.ca/business/2026/…

Thinking about bypassing the corporate publishing quagmire? I was fortunate to find Sara Stratton while I was clueless. Note: I'm still essentially clueless but Sara certainly isn't. #selfpublishing
