Website Update – August 2026

Leave a reply

Greetings,

I had to take a break from writing about things that go bump in the night (and day), dimension-hopping victims of a multiverse gone awry, and other general madness to straighten out a few issues with this here website.  As most who know me are aware, I am a one man show, and thus wear a number of hats: video editor, voice recording, graphics and formatting, etc.  With the trouble I had after change of management in my old web host, it took me over a year to get the site back online with a reliable host, and my website design skills had remain unused during that time.  Thus I was behind in certain areas of responsive design when my site went down, and it had to bet back in the swing of things.

The good news is I finally managed to get my site to look as it should on various size screens.  I may tweak the design in the future, with some more graphics and such, but I can finally design my sites in a responsive design frame.  Also, my Gallery page now displays on smartphones.  Now all that remains is to do the same for my art site.

So much to do, so little time is always the deal, it seems.

Still, I am back in the creative mode, and despite having to deal with my physical issues, I am back to my usual multi-tasking self, and switching hats depending on the day.  If you haven’t checked out my YouTube channel, feel free to click here.  Not a great number of videos there yet, but the channel is young, and will eventually find its own identity.  For now, it’s just fun way to talk about writing, books, and other wacky stuff.

That’s all for now.  Lots of stuff in the pipeline, and I have to get moving if I’m going to any chance any getting any of it done.

Until next time~

Writing Update: August 2026

Greetings,

Apologies for not updating in a while.  In addition to wearing many hats – web designer, author, artist, video creator – I also struggle with severe chronic pain, neuropathy, and other conditions, most exacerbated by the years of narcissistic and legal abuse I suffered.  In working on my latest writing project, a non-fiction account of this experience, I finished transcribing my hand-written journal of that time, and had to take a break.  The emotional drain of having to recall those events is always an invitation for anxiety, depression, and PTSD, all of which were made worse over the course of the last fifteen years, and I needed to take some time for my mental health.

This is never a simple thing, as my very security is constantly in danger from such things as having my disability – my only income at this point – garnished by my ex, who most know has weaponized the law in order to cause as much financial and emotional damage as possible, a process that is condoned and indeed incentivised by the corrupt shit-show known as the family court system.   Fortunately, I have managed not to become part of the statistics – 21 men a week commit suicide in this country due to this very thing.  Just recently, my ex confirmed that she did not have a miscarriage (the story she used to induce a pity response and thus set the stage for a second attempt at separating me from my child), but had instead decided to screw a loser who worked in the auto parts store next to where she worked when we lived in North Carolina, and had an abortion.  Just another fun day of dealing with someone who at least one psychiatrist deems a psychopath.

Fun stuff, right?

This is pretty much par for the course these days.  Hopefully, things will improve with time.

In the meantime, I am aware there are still some issues with the website.  I will be working whenever I can to clean these up, and hope you will stick around to see the future changes.

More books and projects are coming…stay tuned, and thank you for coming to my TED talk, lol.

Until Next Time-
