Sarah Rockford returned to consciousness with a throbbing headache and a very dim recollection of what had happened the night before. She sat up, rubbing her head and trying to figure out where she was. It obviously wasn’t her own apartment; her whole place probably could have fit in the bed alone, and besides, … Continue reading Thrilling Adventure Stories Presents: Andre Fireson and Sarah Rockford in ‘A Snare of Attraction’

Veni, Vidi, Deus Vicit
For September 12, recalling the charge of King Jan Sobieski of Poland that saved Vienna and Christendom from the invading Turks. Until recently, that was the high water mark of the Muslim invasion of Europe and started the liberation of eastern Europe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75zmIj_4LFQ
Thrilling Adventure Stories Presents: Andre Fireson in Necessary Evils
Andre Fireson was no stranger to elegant afternoon affairs like this one. Being the President of a major arms manufacturer, he’d often had to wine and dine his way to a lucrative business deal. They could even be enjoyable at times; there were worse ways to spend an afternoon than among well-educated, successful men and … Continue reading Thrilling Adventure Stories Presents: Andre Fireson in Necessary Evils
The Ten Commandments of Murder: Available Now
I'm a big fan of 'cozy' mysteries: Agatha Christie, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Dorothy Sayers, G.K. Chesterton, I can't get enough of them. Naturally (because that's how my mind works), I've always wanted to make one of my own. So, I did, and it's now available on Amazon. “A house of many sins is a … Continue reading The Ten Commandments of Murder: Available Now
Indestructible
The irreplaceable Caroline Furlong of A Song of Joy shares music videos featuring two ear-catching song both titled 'Indestructible.' One of the songs I'm well familiar with and used it as the theme of one of my favorite Godzilla characters: the indomitable Anguirus, which I now present for your consideration. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Llk-w5Dz2Wg (Apologies for poor video quality: … Continue reading Indestructible
Thrilling Adventure Stories Presents: Sarah Rockford in Crime Uninvited
Sarah Rockford reflected that it was a very strange thing to be sitting across the table from a man who had come very close to murdering her only a few days before. “Thank you for consenting to see me, Mr. Lepton,” she said. “This won’t take long.” Lepton said nothing. He was looking at her … Continue reading Thrilling Adventure Stories Presents: Sarah Rockford in Crime Uninvited
Appealing to the Past: A Clarification
In my thoughts I usually end up appealing to the superiority of the past in some ways. I want to be clear that this isn't because I think that any age of the past was in any way perfect or didn't have its own problems or even that there were times and places where people … Continue reading Appealing to the Past: A Clarification
Thoughts on the Church Abuse Scandal
I have been delayed in writing about this due to being on vacation, and from arranging my thoughts. Even so, this is going to be a very rough outline. Despite taking so much time, I still find my thoughts in disarray, just because there is so much to talk about and so much of it … Continue reading Thoughts on the Church Abuse Scandal
5 Impossible Things
Found this video drifting around YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mVRc80vhhQ Assuming any of these things are actually true (when you're looking at something lightyears away you will forgive me if I don't absolutely buy that you're seeing what you think you're seeing). Two Shadows: Okay, this is pure padding. Multiple shadows happen all the time on the Earth, … Continue reading 5 Impossible Things
Thrilling Adventure Stories Presents: Nick Windworth and Karen Stillwater in The Crush of Evidence
Karen Stillwater eyed the man before her with distaste. Though a few inches taller than she was, something about his sloping shoulders and somewhat drooping face made her think of him as a little man. He wore a dirty jacket, shirt, and unkempt tie and hung a battered felt hat on the peg by … Continue reading Thrilling Adventure Stories Presents: Nick Windworth and Karen Stillwater in The Crush of Evidence
