Last Spring I moved to a new wheelchair that is controlled by eye-gaze. I've also switched most of my time writing to eye-gaze typing. The technology seems to fascinate people so my son put together a video to show what it's like. Check it out! It's a dramatic story:

I added a suggestion box for anyone to anonymously offer a funny word or phrase. I'll do my best to incorporate your offering into the narrative of my novel in progress and hopefully one day you'll see yourself in print. There is no limit to the number of offerings you can make. English words in common usage, especially folksy words, will get priority. Please share your version of funny!

Loyal supporters, I'm excited to let you know that I've been working with a book marketing consultant and we are putting together promotions to increase readership of Invention Is a Mother. To that end, I want to alert you that I'm advertising the Invention Is a Mother e-book for $0.99 from March 17- 31, 2023.

My voice control is punishing me today for reasons it won't reveal. That subject header should have read news not nudes. Sorry to disappoint.

I'm excited to announce that the Syllaballistics shipping department delivered Kickstarter books and merch to the post office yesterday! Invention Is a Mother launches publicly on November 17th.

What do the graphics mean? Read the book to find out!

I'm happy to let everyone know that Invention Is a Mother's cover art, cover text, and interior design are finished! I'll review proof copies in the upcoming weeks and then it's time to order books to share with my Kickstarter supporters! Any remaining punctuation or spelling errors will henceforth be referred to as "creative intent."

The Invention Is a Mother Kickstarter campaign finished on June 19. We presold over 200 copies and raised 400% of our initial goal! At the same time, we raised over $11,000 for the ALS charity Team Gleason. Thank you to everyone who participated!

The novel is now being designed. Formatting is complete, cover art is underway, and the editing team is vigorously interrogating every last apostrophe. We still have a lot of work to do, but we are well on the way to publication. Check back here for progress updates and eventual announcement of the publication date—or join the mailing list already!
