New SLP Article: The Ballad of Mike Sparks
I have a new article on Sea Lion Press where I talk about the infamous internet theorist Mike Sparks.
Guns of the South Reviewed on Sea Lion Press
While I’ve reviewed it on my own blog, I felt I should give an updated review of Harry Turtledove’s Guns of the South on Sea Lion Press. So I did.
Long Reach reviewed at Sea Lion Press
While I reviewed Mike Lunnon-Wood’s Long Reach a long time ago on this blog, I decided to do a much more recent review of it for Sea Lion Press. Finding out how small its niche really is makes me appreciate its strengths a lot more.
The Sure Bet King Is Out
I’m delighted to say that The Sure Bet King’s ebook version is now out! Enjoy!
New Command scen for testing: Sneaky Sneaky
I got back into making Command: Modern Operations content with another draft scenario that I’ve called Sneaky Sneaky. It’s in an alternate historical setting where a “Walkerist” rogue state survived in Central America. Now they have to try and slip a few improvised mini-subs past the Royal Navy to Belize. Much inspirational thanks goes to the Covert Shores website for its great work on analyzing such submarines.
The scenario can be tried out here.


Blog Anniversary
It was six years ago this day that I started the process to make the Creative Corner. Three years ago I started Fuldapocalypse. Blogging has been very, very good.
Sure Bet King Progress Update
I’m delighted to say that the initial rough draft of The Sure Bet King is complete. There’s still much work ahead, but now I can enjoy a break where I get back to reading books instead of writing them.
Wheeze Kids Post On Sea Lion Press
Having blogged about the “Wheeze Kids” approach in sports on here, I’ve now made a post on that subject for Sea Lion Press.
Announcing My Newest WIP Novel: The Sure Bet King
What have I been at work on the past couple of months? The answer is a novel in progress, and one devoted to something that’s totally different from the typical scope of Fuldapocalypse. I’m making a mostly nonviolent “pop epic” (the greatest inspiration I can see is Sidney Sheldon) about a sports betting “tout”. Touts are basically people who sell picks/betting advice. It is not a profession with a good track record or reputation, to put it mildly.
I can’t give a formal arrival date for the novel yet as it’s still far from complete even in rough draft form, but rest assured that I’ve been hard at work on it. It’s a very exciting experience-this novel has been very fun to research and very fun to write.
