I have to apologize for the lack of new content in the last week. Unfortunately, I also have to inform you that it will be followed by another week or so of no new content.
I’m heading off to Mexico in a couple of days, and my life has been surrounded by those pesky Things That [...]

The Engrossing Saga of Mark Putnam (can you believe it’s in the “non-fiction” category? I can’t!!!)

A colleague (by which I mean fellow relatively unpublished writer who’s decided to use the power of Web 2.0 to motivate his career) of mine, Mark Putnam, recently did something remarkable.
He started a blog called “Plotastic!” and got a huge pile of people to fill out a ballot. It was a big ballot, and it [...]
200 Hits!

Some time between when I went to bed last night and when I woke up this morning the hit count on ARitU crested 200!
That’s a big deal for a rinky-dink fiction blog by someone who is considerably less than famous.
I have no way of telling how many people actually read the stories on a regular [...]

OK – Vacation’s Over – Get My Butt Back in the Chair

As you may have surmised, I took some time off from writing over the Christmas/New Year’s holiday.
This was probably poor planning on my part, since I had yet to build much of a dedicated readership for this blog. I do have good news for those faithful few of you who stayed with me, however. A new [...]

Ugh. Sorry to leave you folks hanging. It’s been a very hectic couple of weeks between work (end of year rush) and Christmas shopping and planning.
I have some time this weekend though, so expect another chapter soon! Until then, take a break from the holiday crazy and make some cocoa and reread the existing chapters!
Cheers,
Basil.

Hi folks, I doubt I’ll be doing this very often, coming out from behind the fiction to talk to you directly, but it may happen from time to time. I’ll put all such posts in a separate category so they’re easy to spot. I just wanted to let you know that a short story of mine has [...]
