Radio legend passes the mic

I read through news every day, and a scan different items all the time.  Sometimes, I don’t get to see all of them when they come out, so I’ve got people that follow me and I follow on Twitter that from time to time submit an interesting link.  A lot of times, those links are [...]

Victory at 30,000

For the past twenty-seven and a half days, I’ve been working feverishly on a story that I’ve had in my mind for the last six years. A story that not many people know, unless they play Neverwinter Nights and have interacted with me in the game. I have a muse who likes to torment me. [...]

Provincial Crowns, good business or monopoly

The topic of Crown Corporations in Saskatchewan is a touchy one.  They have been hot button issues for both sides of the capitalist fence for a long time.  Should they remain government controlled or should they be sold off to some private entity?  There are also examples of the Crowns doing extremely well and extremely [...]

Near Brockton, present day
Lyssa lowered her glasses as she closed the book.  She had just finished reading the first book that Pania had written. It was a series of memories written down in the form of an adventurous story. Lyssa was perched on Pania’s writing desk as she read, she hadn’t moved in the last [...]

Eternity, Pt. 5

Near Brockton, waning days of the Season of the Harvest
The stars shone brightly in the night sky as the animals of the Harvest Hills and into the Forest of the Garden all slept quietly, save for those few that used the night time to hunt and play. These included pixies, sprites and other fey [...]

Eternity, Pt. 4

Shani poked the fire with a stick.  The early morning was crisp as a fog rolled in off the lakes.  Morning in the northern state was deceiving.  What appeared to be warm was less than that.  It didn’t help that she had nothing to do since she had received help from this tribe of Dakota, [...]

Eternity, Pt. 3

Washington D.C., late January, 1864
The large horse came to a stop and let out a chuffle as his rider dismounted.  The tall man that climbed down adjusted his long coat and squared his stetson on his head.  His eyes never left his target, United States Army Captain Samuel Williams.  He saw Williams in front of [...]
