I had to stop somewhere between Philadelphia and Chapel Hill, so this time I checked out Elizabeth City on the Pasquotank River. Water again.



On a day of emotional whiplash which I’ll blame on Kimya Dawson, Bob Dylan, How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, and Stonewall Kitchen (in no particular order), these are my current reads from Muriel Spark, Mignola/Fegredo, Stephen Kozeniewski – Author, and Stephen Jay Gould (this year’s spring training baseball book). Hopefully, a couple will be reviewed for Uncomfortably Dark Disciples this month.

A slew of photos from Authorcon. They don’t begin to capture the weekend, but it’s great to see all those old and new friends. Photos taken by Phrique, Nikolas P. Robinson, Betelgeus, Royal Poff, Joe Alec King, Cassandra Celia, and Katrina Nola Sirmons









All set up yesterday

Obligatory suitcase in the hallway photo at Scares That Care presents AuthorCon VI – Williamsburg ; I sleep best on floors where the carpet matches my luggage.

Visiting friends and family on the way to Scares that Care Authorcon 2026, I met up with Douglas E. Draper Jr. to discuss the cover for a new book later this year (my reading Friday night will be from it). I also took the opportunity to cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel at sunset. 17 miles of beautiful views!
