#CommissionEarned

BARBARELLA IS BACK IN A NEW STAR-SPANNING EPIC!
BARBARELLA SETS OUT ON A DESPERATE MISSION TO STOP INTERGALACTIC WAR BETWEEN GODLIKE BEINGS!
Beyond the edge of known space lies…the Unnamable. Myth? Gods? Malevolent force? No one knows. No one but the one force in the universe that can stand against the Unnameable: the Architects, hidden guides of our galaxy for untold eons.
Enter Barbarella, on a desperate quest to find and convince the Architects that a war with the Unnameable will spell the death of Every. Living. Thing.
Get ready for tension, excitement, espionage, and the secret of how to defeat an empire. Fun, romance, and cosmic adventure beyond the furthest reaches of the galaxy!

MOST OF MY SUCCESSES SEEM ALMOST ACCIDENTAL AND TO HAPPEN WHEN I LEAST EXPECT THEM:   The Problem of Learning From Great Men and Women.

WHAT CAN’T GO ON WON’T GO ON:  Diversity Workers Being Phased Out Amid Corporate Job Cuts.

IT’S ALL CORRUPTION AND FRAUD, ANYWAY:  San Francisco Reparations Committee Chairman: No ‘Math Formula’ Used to Calculate $5 Million Payout.

Paying reparations for slavery to people who were never slaves, from people who never owned slaves, in a state that never permitted slavery. Might be peak clown world.

BUT BUT BUT, THREE MORE WEEKS TO FLATTEN THE CURVE:   Gov. Newsom Finally Ending California’s COVID State of Emergency After Three Years.

THAT PROBABLY MEANS IT WAS AN INTENTIONAL RELEASE:  Yup: FBI Director Says Covid “Most Likely” Leaked From Wuhan Lab.

What, paranoid? Me? Yeah. Every word they say is a lie, including “the” and “a”.

IT’S NOT SELF-EXPRESSION, IT’S CONTROL: A Passion For Control.

I’VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR DECADES:  The Population Crash.

I’VE MAINTAINED THIS FOR MANY YEARS. THERE ARE THINGS YOU CAN’T VIOLATE:  The Hard “Nope”.

WITH LAWDOG, CEDAR SANDERSON, C.V. WALTER, J.L. CURTIS AND MORE:  Space Cowboys.

There’s something about the Cowboy that speaks to us all. So it only makes sense that, as humans expand into space, they’re going to bring their Cowboys with them.

Join 10 authors as they explore what Space Cowboys would look like, why we love them, and how they deal with the livestock that travels with humanity.

GOOD TO SEE:  SpaceX’s Falcon 9 launches 21 second generation Starlink satellites.

WHEN UNIVERSITIES LOSE THEIR MIND:  Academic Failure and the Loss of Discourse.

IN EUROPE, ONLY FEMALES CAN TALK BACK:  Here, there, everywhere: first signs of judicial compromise in Israel?; Spain’s female Ron DeSantis?; Sunak’s Brexit renegotiation.
