Don't forget about my special holiday collection

My special collection of stories for the holidays (not holiday stories) is still available from Amazon, and if you're an Amazon Unlimited member, you can download it for free.

Download today at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CNZR32WG

For the 2024 holiday season, I decided to put together a small collection of some of my short stories. None of them are actually holiday themed, since with the way I tend to write, I’d probably end up killing Santa over and over again.
Instead, what you’re holding is a collection of some stories that have been well received over the years, and I’m making this a Kindle Unlimited title, so those of you that are members, you can download it for free.
This year’s edition contains the same eight stories that last year’s edition had, but I’ve also added my stories “Origins” and “Choices.”
So, enjoy a few stories while you’re shopping, wrapping, celebrating, or whatever it is you do over the holidays.

Writing is hard work!

The first ten thousand words of my new novel flew by, and I have to admit that even I was impressed with some of my writing (usually I hate my stuff.) The next ten thousand words were a struggle, but I kept slogging through. The ten thousand I'm on now have been a tooth and nail struggle just trying to get each word out.

Anyone that tells you that writing is easy, or that they could write a novel if they just had the time is insane! Writing is hard work!

Updates to my website

I've made some updates to my website at https://jalanerwine.com/. Mostly it's adding my screenplays to the site, since this is a direction that I am definitely thinking about taking my writing...especially with the idea percolating in my brain right now.

Hello from Aurora, Colorado

I live in Aurora, Colorado...you know the place that has been taken over by Venezuelan gangs, the place where it's no longer safe to live, the place that needs to be liberated...only it's not.

My family and I are as safe in Aurora as we would be in just about any other big city. It is true that there were some Venezuelan gang members in a small part of our city, but most of them have been arrested. And the area they were in has had a gang problem for decades, like places in most big cities.

In Aurora, it is safe to walk the streets, to shop, to do whatever we need to do on a daily basis.

Please stop trying to make an example out of our city for political reasons...you're actually taking a problem that isn't real and creating a serious problem for those of us that actually live here. We just want to live our lives and be left alone.

Venezuelan gangs are not running our streets, and we don't need to be liberated.

Thanks for listening.

Humanity has finally made it to the stars, and they’ve found they’re not alone. They are one of twenty species making their way around the galaxy. Some of the species they’ve met are friendly, while some are quite hostile, and others are just plain indifferent. The galaxy is full of warfare, trade, and unexplored star systems. This is the galaxy of Ephemeris 2.0.
The game features thirteen different character classes and twenty different species. You can play a Clipsie Cyber Wizard, a Human Pirate, or maybe a Taurin Nanist. Build your characters up with goods, cybernetic implants, genetic modifications, and special abilities that are unique to each class.
The universe of Ephemeris 2.0 is yours to explore, and yours to build. The new version of the game is a d20 version, and the rules are less convoluted, and more player friendly than the previous version.
Now, step into the greatest science fiction adventure that you’ve ever been on!
