Uh…Blaaat? Ta-ra ta-raah? Or maybe: Yay me! Complete computer dunce that I am, I still managed (with a lot of help) to upload my first two stories, “Buzzard Gulch” and “Con of the Dead,” to Kindle! I don’t have a Kindle myself so I had to rely on the Previewer, so I hope the formatting … More What Is the Sound of One’s Horn Blowing?
Yay! The Roswell UFO Festival is this weekend. I look forward to it all year! Something that puzzles me, though, is people who say it couldn’t really have happened because the aliens would have appeared to, say, the President, not a sheep rancher.
