Driving home through Estes Park today, I encountered snarled traffic caused by Elk Construction.

Beautiful snow hike in Rocky Mountain National Park today, past Alberta Falls to the Loch.

My hiking stick has a habit of taking selfies.

We're right on the cusp of TWO MORE free books for all backers of my Short Story Library Kickstarter. If we make just $500 more, every backer will receive MR. WELLS & THE MARTIANS; with 15 more backers, everyone gets CLOCKWORK ANGELS! Help us over the line kickstarter.com/projects/thekj…

I was ruthless with my calendar and kept today clear so I can go hiking/snowshoeing. Heading out for Rocky Mountain National Park!

New PUSH GOAL—this is the slow spot in any Kickstarter campaign, so here's an enticement. I'll give a free ebook of CLOCKWORK ANGELS, with Neil Peart, to all backers—IF we hit 650 backers in 3 days. That's only 9 a day! Come aboard, tell your friends. kickstarter.com/projects/thekj…

When I do a Kickstarter book project it's different from normal publishing. You're not just a reader; you're a PARTICIPANT. I literally couldn't do it without backers—and so I will list *all backer names* in my KJA Short Fiction Library. Kickstarterread kickstarter.com/projects/thekj…

Mother's Day lunch at PF Changs with grandson Xavier and part of the family.

'Who would believe such a ridiculous story?' asked the talking unicorn.

Working on my next Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. novel, HORN DOGS. Things are starting to get seriously silly...

This changes everything.

Happy Mother's Day to all. And a special shout-out of thanks for MY mom, Dorothy Anderson, who kept my very first story—typed out when I was 8 years old—in her scrapbook. I'm including it as one of the stories in my Short Fiction Library on Kickstarter. kickstarter.com/projects/thekj…

Start your Sunday morning with a nice hot beverage ... but it goes better with reading if you have a special KJA mug. These are only available as part of my Short Fiction Library Kickstarter. kickstarter.com/projects/thekj…

was hoping for another shot at seeing the Northern Lights tonight, but the fog has rolled in. I can barely see the northern neighbors.

Because Percival and Nikola are so handsome, we keep them on a special display stand.

Legally sanctioned time travel allows a victim to go back and harm a perpetrator before they commit a crime in 'Prevenge,' written with Mike Resnick, one of the stories included in my massive Short Fiction Library. Available now only on Kickstarter. kickstarter.com/projects/thekj…

found some fresh okra in the produce section (a rarity here in Colorado). Very excited. It's excellent when cooked properly (tonight, flash fried with zucchini.)

For the next week, anyone who orders a signed copy of my CLOCKWORK LIVES graphic novel (based on my novel with Neil Peart) will also get a free signed CLOCKWORK ANGELS comic. wordfireshop.com/product/clockw…
