Sean bastle sails into California, kills a bunch of baddies, but not enough before he heads home. FF a few years, now he's old, goes back to California to finish up his work, cuts water off from a big city, smashes a bunch of bad dudes with a sledgehammer, which earns him a nickname "the hammer". Things settle down a bit and the Spartans run out of coffee and go to buy more, which they do. Fin. You're welcome. |

A facsimile of The Hammer is more likely to come from this new Kyle storyline than from Sean Bastle. Sean might be too nice a guy for that. |

I know that he won't ever be "the Hammer", no matter how many times I bug you about it. It's just for fun now. Lol A story bridging the time between the two worlds would be pretty interesting though. |

I read through some of my old stuff and man, they need cleaning up. I just don't have the energy to go back through and edit them. I need to lock myself up in some remote hotel in the Rockies for the winter and just power through them. I never liked the title or the cover of the first one. I'm stuck with the title, but I told my nephew (who is into art) if he designed a new cover I'd cut him in on the royalties. New stuff is up on Patreon. I had a third story I was going to post, but it isn't flushed out enough yet, so I posted a second chapter to American Exit. |

That one is interesting to me. I'm curious to see where you go with it. |

Quite the page turner (so to speak) and I couldn't put it down till I'd finished Hopefully it isn't as prophetic as it was entertaining Subscribed to your patreon and I look forward to the continuation ETA: loved all the ARFisms thrown in (chili with/without beans, etc) |

Frankenstein I'm still catching up on American exit. Just when I was starting to think you might have gotten distracted, you dumped a few chapters. Thanks! |

Yeah, I was wading through it all and basically wrote all of the last few chapters simultaneously. Had to jump around from chapter to chapter while writing to make sure the details all lined up. |

Haven't checked in for a while, but I'm glad the creative juices are still flowing. Also, I have a year's worth of backlog posts on Patreon to catch up on, so I have something to look forward to!

The new generation of young men, (Gen Z and Gen Alpha) seem to be more hard right. They grew up with COVID and DEI and all that nonsense and they aren't having it. They also don't remember a time when "the system" worked for them, so they aren't invested in the idea of some Constitutional middle ground, principled conservatism, classic liberalism, the rule of law or any of that. When a media figure gets before the microphone and starts talking about, "conservative values," the younger generations just tune out. Conservatism conserved nothing for them and as a result has pushed them farther from the middle and deeper into the extremes. I'm working on a story now that is centered around these generational gaps. |
