In-Jokes In-jokes are one of my favorite things about following a writer. For example, I love it when Stephen King's characters make cameos in other books. For example, near the end of Tommyknockers, a not-particularly-famous book about finding a spaceship, one...

Easing into 2019 I hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve doing whatever made you happy. I had to go to a party at the last minute (I'm an extrovert but not a late-night person so parties are never my choice for NYE) but luckily it was not a crowd we are entrenched...
