“I don't think necessity is the mother of invention. Invention . . . arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness. To save oneself trouble.” -- Agatha Christie

Happy Thanksgiving!

Every Thanksgiving, I get up as early as I can.

I go downstairs, and I sit in the quiet, dark house, all the shapes of the furniture still around me, the shadows dense, almost tangible.

The sun isn't up yet.

The moon has already set.

Everyone is asleep and the house is somnolent itself, all that dreaming somehow casting a spell on the world around me.

I sit there, looking at the ceiling where the reflections of streetlights outside make long streamers of faint light stretching from the night, outside, towards the bedrooms where everyone lies tucked under blankets, still.  It is almost as if this is a harbinger of the day that will come (but is not yet here.)

It is that moment of stillness, the pause before the day, that reminds me how thankful I am for the tumult of life.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

It's an XMAS MIRACLE!

And I bet you didn't even know that Xmas had been imprisoned!

Starting today, and for the next three days, you can free Xmas... I mean, you can get Xmas free, I mean.

Let me start over. 

The Greatest Xmas Story EVER TOLD

FREE!

"Santa, Godzilla, and Jesus Walk Into A Bar," a/k/a The Greatest Xmas Story Ever Told (By Me).

Nick, a nearly-failed UFO maker, finds a tiny brass trumpet lying in a gutter – moments before a dead body drops from the sky and he’s chased down the street and into a major adventure by Sexy Cop. Before he knows it, Nick is doing battle with Wenceslas’ Xmas Machine, helped by Angels, the Secret Army Under The Bed, and a man in a robe, as attempts at world domination mix in with Nick’s attempts to convince Sexy Cop that they are soulmates. 



"if you've ever wondered what Douglas Adams might have produced if he'd been locked in a room for weeks at a time with only Twinkies and Jolt cola, you should read "Santa, Godzilla... it has that same frenetic energy that Adams has only weirder."
-- Andrew Leon, speculative fiction author.
