News for 2026 – Getting back on the horse

Posted on February 5, 2026 by Michell

I’m sure if I really looked, I could tell you exactly when I fell off the horse (posting-wise and otherwise). The horse stopped, looked me in the eye as I lay on the ground and eventually wandered off. For those of you who don’t know the saying, it is, “When you fall off the horse, you get right back on and try again.” That’s great when you REALLY want to ride the horse. But, I’d been posting updates for a long time and really didn’t feel like I had anything worthwhile to share. I’m getting back on the horse at long last. It took some time to find the horse and I hope I can stay in the saddle for […]

New book about to drop – GalaxyBillies

Posted on November 10, 2025 by Michell

I can hardly believe how long it has been since I last posted an update. I can only say, life is busy. I’m sure you all know something about that. But, I have exciting news! GalaxyBillies, my science fiction comedy, will be available for purchase as an eBook, paperback and hardcover on November 17th. Yes! One week from the time of this post. Some of you may say, “Wait a minute. GalaxyBillies was released as a podcast novel several years ago,” and you would be right. I wrote GalaxyBillies and podcast it as an experiment and an homage.

Come see me at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo

Posted on April 14, 2025 by Michell

I am going to be at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo sharing a booth with author Simon Rose (April 24 – 27) at the BMO Center in Stampede Park. This will be my 6th (or is it 7th?) time there with Simon. As per usual, I will have my books, Scout badges and all the personality you can stand. 😛 If you are attending, please come by and say, “Hello”. Buying books or badges is always optional (but encouraged).

An Experiment

Posted on April 5, 2025 by Michell

I have an experiment I would like to try. This experiment comes from the lack of support Amazon Canada is providing for my newest book, Super Sonya vs. the Woodpecker. (see earlier posts for details) And, sorry to all my global followers/fans, but this experiment is for Canada only. I say that because, everywhere else, the book seems to be available for order via Amazon. If you are interested in your own, signed copy of the book, for a very limited time, if you reach out to me, I will send you a signed copy for the original published price of $17.50 Canadian (including shipping and handling). I will do this until April 31, 2025. To give you some idea of […]
