Hello, friends and fans!
Welcome to another “Peek At My Week” – April 16, 2024! Here are some things that happened this past week!
News About Writing & Publishing: This Is The Current State Of Things
- I’m Not Writing (fiction) Right Now – as soon as it’s appropriate, I will be sure to let you know why – in the meantime, I beg your indulgence, and your patience! I apologize for not having terribly much “news” to share with you lately, but unfortunately that’s just how things are right now, and will probably remain so for a while. I will leave this up for as long as appropriate.
- What Readers Say: I know I can’t please everybody (so I’m not trying to!). That said, it really pleases me when I see that I’ve managed to do it anyway! If there’s nothing new below, just pop along here to have a look at all the reader’s comments I’ve collected so far.
Bibliography – A listing of all my books so far:

Other Stuff
The old advice that says “never do business with friends if you hope to keep them” holds true. That said, let’s look at this week’s sage advice and “rants”.
The World DOES Owe You A Living
“The idea that everyone should be able to live, to have the necessities of life, regardless of ability to work or pay for it, is somehow one of the most contentious ideas in human history.“ – End Stage Capitalism page on Facebook.
There’s the old saying “the world doesn’t owe you a living”… remember that? Here’s the thing:
Well, it seems that the world only tolerates you in order to squeeze revenue and resources out of you, no matter what you do – or don’t do. If you exist, you’re a fucking copper-top battery in one of hundreds of different ways: taxes paid from whatever you earn, taxes paid from whatever you spend your money on. Tax write-offs for companies that support the homeless even – and even if only by your death and disposing of your remains. Every single step of the way is marked by a transaction in which the system – the “world” gains in some way, whether you do or not.
So yes, the world does fucking owe you a living.
German Polizei Break Up Peaceful Event & Arrest Jews… In 2024
Really, Germany? Really?
Arresting Jewish people opposed to Israel’s genocide in Gaza on charges of “anti-Semitism”? How the hell do you even balance the insanity and immorality of this with continuing to arm and support a literal genocide – especially given the largest stain on German history?
Will Gaza be the second biggest stain?
As always, I’ll keep you posted about any new developments, so until then, I wish you all a pleasant week!
