$50 Your Way June 2026 Giveaway!
June 2026’s Giveaway! But first, here is my catch up from May. It was a weird month up here on the mountain. The last week or so we are back to 50 degrees, raining and cold. We had one night with a lightning storm the likes I’ve never seen before, Mother Nature put on a hell-of-a-show. We didn’t lose power, however all the breakers tripped. Amazing, is that as loud and bright as the lightning was Walter slept through the entire thing. Also, since I mentioned Sir Walter, 4 months old and he officially weighs 60.1 pounds. Oh HOLY MOLY! He’s a big boy. Walter enjoyed his very first pup-cup. Happy, happy boy. I hope you all had an excellent May. But, I sure hope that June is MUCH better. Now for the real reason you are here.

Writers of the Future Volume 41; The Best New SF & Fantasy Short Stories of the Year
The Ultimate Commute Escape: Getting Lost in the Future (While Avoiding the Present) Hello, fellow readers and audiobook lovers! Let’s have a quick moment of honesty. I absolutely cannot be in the car without a story playing. It is a non-negotiable rule of my life. Why? Because the car is my temple of solitude. It is the only place on Earth where the dog isn’t aggressively demanding attention or a treat, and “The Husband” isn’t wandering from room to room asking, “Hey, where is the remote?” “( Spoiler alert: It’s exactly where it was yesterday, babe. )”What’s for dinner?” (Ummmm it’s 9am.
