Blog postSo, last time I updated this blog was back in 2019.
Well, we’ve all been going through a lot, haven’t we?
So…what’s new with me?
Good news is I’ve had two books published in my Lincoln Bright series and am in the editing phase for book three.
Bad news is I’ve not made much money (if any) from them and I’m not sure anyone is reading them.
Good news is I am relatively healthy, if over weight and out of shape.

Blog postSo, in Part One of my musings on the Logan’s Run film, I took a stab at answering a few questions concerning the world building and setting of the film if it were to be re-made or re-booted, as well as a few brief sentences about character adjustments to both Logan 5 and Francis 7, the two male leads from the ’76 movie.
I want to talk more about them, but I want to address something more important to me in this post. In this second part, I want to start off by talking about the third3 years ago Read more -
Blog postLately I have been thinking a lot about the 1976 film Logan’s Run.
Probably because I’m rapidly approaching sixty years of age, double the lifespan of the average citizen that inhabits Logan’s world.
Specifically I’m thinking a lot about how it might be retooled and updated for today’s viewing audience. I know that there were plans being passed around awhile back and I’m sure the rights to it are held by some studio (Warner Brothers I think) and they are sitting on the3 years ago Read more -

Blog postThe Police released the album ‘Ghost in the Machine‘ in 1981.
At the time, The Police were not only one of my favorite groups, but they were well into the mega-stardom that would soon explode them into the stratosphere with their follow-up album ‘Synchronicity‘, which would garner them the label: ‘the biggest band in the world.’
But in 1981, I was deep into my exploration of table-top RPGs and the GitM album provided the backdrop for an extremely fun but short-lived Traveler c4 years ago Read more -
Blog postSo, Amazon has inked a deal to turn Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings into a five season series.
I’m all for people getting work and making a living and this would employ a lot of creative people for quite some time… but its clear that the main motivation for this isn’t artistic or for a love of the world and the characters – its for the love of profit.
They’ve even worked it into the deal that they can use Peter Jackson’s Rings trilogy films – meaning it may look and sound just lik4 years ago Read more -
Blog postsonder n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway4 years ago Read more

Blog postI am so weary of the Cult of ‘Me’.
What is the Cult of ‘Me’? I don’t think its an actual movement. I think its an unconscious reasoning that affects everyone at some point. I think its something that dominates many people’s thinking and thought process, even though they may not realize it. In fact I think it dominates many people’s thinking 24/7.
It’s that almost silent – or maybe, not so silent voice – that convinces us that we are in the right, and everyone else is in the wr5 years ago Read more -
Blog post“Straight, white men tend to tell stories from their perspective, as one naturally does, which means the women are generally underwritten.”
This I think is the most damning sentence I have seen concerning the horrific and – sadly – over a century old travesty that is the Hollywood “system”.
Damning because it lays bare a truth about the profession I am currently pursuing, about the title I currently assign myself: Writer.

Blog postSo, Guy Ritchie’s take on the myth/legend of Arthur is out in theaters.
I posted about it few weeks ago on #Facebook… here’s that post:
“King Arthur is primarily a medieval gangster film, and that’s when the movie is at its best.”
And thus the author invalidates the articles title right out of the gate.

Excerpted from the introduction:
We know a program called Delta Green really existed. You can find a couple of references to it in documents uncovered by Freedom of Information Act requests. Delta Green was a psychological operations unit in World War II, created to take advantage of the bizarre occult beliefs of Axis leaders. The public documents, which may have been released with the name unredacted by mistake, don’t say whether it had any success. The OSS was shut down after the war. Many of its people helped launch the CIA in 1947. We can only speculate whether the OSS’s lessons from Delta Green informed the CIA’s notorious psychological operations in the coming decades.
Conspiracy theorists have done more than speculate. Delta Green came back as a secret project to track down Nazis after the war, they say. Delta Green brought federal agents, spies, and special forces together for missions too secret even for the CIA. Delta Green was the precursor and rival to Majestic-12, the U.S. government conspiracy that allied itself with aliens after Roswell. Delta Green fights otherworldly monsters and evil sorcerers under the cover of the Global War on Terror. Once you climb into the rabbit hole, the fall never ends.
In this book we turn up tales from the rabbit hole: Delta Green case histories rendered as short stories.
They begin in the Dust Bowl, with a Naval intelligence unit supposedly called “P4” and memories of the abandoned New England town of Innsmouth (another bottomless well of conspiracy theories).
They look at the days after World War II when secret agents pursued Nazis all over Europe, the early CIA attempted its first infamous schemes, and anticommunist witch-hunts seized on American terrors back home.
They bring us through the Cold War desperation of the Seventies and Eighties, when America was shocked by its own crimes and Delta Green allegedly went underground again.
And they come to the present day, and a Delta Green divided after it rebuilt itself in the secret government—but many old outlaws refused to trust the new order.

These are The Musketeers!
One For All: Tales of the Musketeers is a swashbuckling return to tales of the group of special soldiers made famous by Alexandre Dumas and in innumerable adaptations. Yet, what of Musketeers beyond their four famous literary brethren? Adventurers, men of honor, rogues, and dedicated makers of right alike wore the crest of the Musketeer throughout the organization’s storied and rather long history. And authors David J. Fielding, Stacy Dooks, and Richard C. White now peel back the curtain to reveal the glistening blades and daring do of other Musketeers, men who truly stood the stead to protect good from evil, who fought, bled, and died proving each one of them lived the motto- One For All!
One For All: Tales of the Musketeers. From Pro Se Productions
From 1939 to 1941, Fletcher Hanks toiled in obscurity to create comic book adventures that today defy easy description and understanding. His characters often acted as gods among men, raining cruel justice down upon evildoers in luxuriant measure and exotic grotesquery. Lost for many years, these adventures are now ripe to be expanded upon by a bumper crop of writers itching to play in the wild and wonderful Hanks sandbox.
SOMETHING STRANGE IS GOING ON! offers brand-new tales of such fascinating and inexplicable crusaders as Stardust, Fantomah, Nabu the Jungle Wizard, Moe M. Downe, Whirlwind Carter, and Big Red McLane. In breathtaking pulpy prose, the stories in this volume cover many genres: science fiction, horror, fantasy, spy thriller, sports, and the great outdoors.
SOMETHING STRANGE IS GOING ON! is your portal to the weird, the wild, the insane universe of Fletcher Hanks.
Suppose the theory is true that we’re biologically hardwired to believe in God – Brandon H. Bell wonders if that’s evidence enough that He is objectively real. … Imagine the traditional, Western version of God – now imagine along with Patrick Evans if the God revealed tomorrow has absolutely nothing to do with any of that. … David J. Fielding introduces a character who wouldn’t hesitate to kill God for the evil He has brought to bear, even if the result is just another form of an absence of good. … and Nebula Award laureate James Morrow asks if God would exist in the absence of misleading proof planted by a talking, time-traveling cyborg tortoise who shoots lasers out his eyes.
You know what they are, right?
I mean, you've heard about them, everyone's heard of them.
Ever walk by some place and got creeped out? Ever enter a room and shiver for no reason? A Gaunt is a thin place, a fraying of reality created by a Glim. I say thin, because I'm talking about the distance between our real and the horrors on the Other Side. And that distance is not very far at all... many times, it's only a few heartbeats away.
It's easy to think our reality is secure. That there's a wall of safety around us. There isn't. When a deceased person leaves a Glim behind, well, they get to stitching a Gaunt and if it gets big enough, if it gets thin enough...if it eats away a hole in our reality? Well then, them things on the Other Side, the Dead? They come sniffing around, with their frightening fang-filled maws, ravenously hungry and looking to feed.
A Gaunt isn't just a thin place, a momentary chill running up our spines, no, to people like me–it's a death trap. A warped, twisted field of mind fucks and night terrors.
You want to know what it's like to step inside one, to cross over into a Gaunt? Stick with me.
My name's Lincoln Bright.
I'll show you how horrifying a Gaunt can be.
