Mostly sunny today, which seemed oddly inappropriate for the beginning of this particular year. Our high was 47F.

I hardly slept. Maybe three hours.

I was up at oh-my-god thirty, about 3:30 a.m., and I wrote the first 1,040 words for the new piece for Sirenia Digest, which I am calling "A First Sequence of Scenes." And I did a lot of work of the ( Read more... )

Hot yesterday. Our high was apparently only 94˚F, but Kathryn told me to heat index reached something like 103˚F. Clouds late.

I did not get Sirenia Digest 173 (May 2020) out today, with the new story "Untitled 46," because I got caught up in other stuff, and I was on the phone for an hour and a half with Mike Polcyn at SMSU in Dallas, talking ( Read more... )

Sunny and hot today. Our high was 93˚F, and the heat index must have pushed 100˚F.

I managed to get through the line edits on "Untitled 46" today. Tomorrow I hope to get an issue of Sirenia Digest out to subscribers. There's suddenly so much work, I can't go falling behind ( Read more... )

Not a bad day. The sun came back, and it got very warm. We had a high of 91˚F. At one point I checked the heat index, and it was 98˚F ( Read more... )

Another rainy day. Monotony is setting in. We were under a flash flood watch for much of the day. As you can see from the photo below, it was not an idle threat. The high was only 71˚F ( Read more... )

A very good day, and a remarkable day, that I actually cannot got into any real detail about. The weather, well, it was blah. We did get some sun, but also some thunder and lightning, and the high was only 76˚F. Providence is having highs in the 90˚F, and down here it feels like April ( Read more... )

Today is the official release day of The Tindalos Asset, the third in the series of "Tinfoil Dossier" novellas. This is the one I began way back in June 2017 and never would have finished were Jonathan Strahan a less patient editor. I hope you'll buy it and enjoy it. As a hardcore fan of The X-Files, I am very glad we got the release day we did ( Read more... )

A leaden day, beneath a leaden sky. Currently, 36˚F, with a mix of snow, rain, and sleet forecast for tonight ( Read more... )

I'm not sure how much snow we got yesterday. More than enough, and it isn't going anywhere anytime soon. It seems our freakishly warm winter has ended. Currently, it's 23˚F, with a windchill of 13˚F. The sun's come back for now. There's more snow forecast for later this week ( Read more... )

Yesterday, Providence broke it's previous record for record warmth on February 1, by one degree Fahrenheit. It got to 65˚F, and it was glorious. Around here, we're lucky to get days like that in April. I finished getting the digest together so that it could be PDF'd, and then we left. Kathryn and I were not about the spend so fine and rare a day in ( Read more... )
