I've been doing a lot of "shameless self-promoting" lately, but when you're an indie author, you're also the marketing department. However, I don't just want to talk about my latest book but WHY I wrote it.

With all due respect, for years people have been saying, "This is it. We've got Trump now." The problem is, they never get him. I'm not going to get excited until I see more action than just posts in social media. I mean, the guy's even been indicted and arrested but nothing ever happens.

I visited there many years ago with my parents. They used to live in SW Utah.

#OTD March 8, 1968 #StarTrek TOS aired "The Ultimate Computer." The teleplay was written by Dorothy Fontana. Just a little trivia for #InternationalWomensDay

Actually, I hated (well, not exactly hate) Wes when he stepped onto the bridge for the first time in "Encounter at Farpoint." I said, "This is 1987. Haven't we outgrown the need for a teenage sidekick to attract young viewers?" I was 12 when TOS first aired & "I didn't need no stinking sidekick."

Being against Trump doesn't mean I ignore facts. "Gas prices soaring" is relative.
