A little girl is horribly murdered – that’s the sign to grieve …
No, it’s time to start a violent riot and loot the surrounding businesses, causing $200,000 of damage.
Confirming all I’ve said about young women hating men
Here’s a change – a young woman (looks like a Gen-Zeder) mocking those women who are unaware of the rampant man-hatred across the internet, and thus across society.
Another view about the quality of present-day books
This is a thoughtful analysis of the quality of present-day books. Significant is the number of books being published every year. This last year, according to Jared Henderson, 4 million books were published. This is an insane number compared with ten years ago. The reason for the number is the ease with which anyone can publish a book, a trend made worse over the last two years by AI. Naturally, there’s a lot of rubbish among that number. Indeed, Henderson claims the vast majority are slop. However, among that bubbling slop that good booksellers can clear away, he asserts good-quality books can be found. I’m happy to have my books examined in this regard.
New cover for The Counterculture Goddess
I have had covers for two titles in my Sixties Series professionally designed. One is for Love in the Counterculture, which is due for release at the end of June 2026. The second is for The Counterculture Goddess, published in 2025 and revised in 2026, which I have just received.
I have also provided a character and other information sheet for readers. My plan is to provide a similar information sheet for all my fiction titles.
After decades of favouritism and shutting men out, women are just as miserable as ever
Another case of unabashed, unrestrained man-hatred
This typically spiteful girl is clearly unaware that she has a use-by date of ten years – fifteen if she’s lucky. There’ll be no more trading on her looks and youth then.

Johnathan Franzen’s ten rules for novelists
John Matthew Fox, of Bookfox, critically runs through Johnathan Franzen’s 10 rules for novelists, which have apparently infuriated many writers, even some of the best-known. I agree mostly with him. He dismisses 6 of the 10. The only comment I wish to make is on the claim that ‘Substituting then is the lazy or tone-deaf writer’s non-solution to the problem of too many ands on the page.’ Even worse is using ‘and then’. I say rubbish, bunkum and piffle to that. Listen to the way English-speaking people speak.
