Another collection of mostly short “soliloquys” from Christopher Morley, an American literary luminary, who introduces them thus: “… these pieces were written, day by day, out of the pressure and hilarity and contention of the mind. I have made no attempt to conceal their ephemeral origin. They were almost all written for a newspaper, and contain many references to journalism. … it is remarkable that they should have been written at all: remarkable that any newspaper should take the pains to offer space to speculations of this sort. I have not scrupled, on occasion, to chaff some of ...

Thirty three essays by more or less well-known authors of Britain, the United States, and Canada, each fronted by an introductory paragraph. Early twentieth or late nineteenth centuries. “I think I can offer you, in this parliament of philomaths [lover of learning], entertainment of the most genuine sort;…as brilliant and sincere work is being done to-day in the essay as in any period of our literature. Accordingly the pieces reprinted here are very diverse. There is the grand manner; there is foolery; there is straightforward literary criticism; there is pathos, politics, and the ...

In a progression fantasy where divine beings at the Table wager worlds, champions are meant to be optimized, disciplined, and lethal. Kara is none of those things. She is statistically impossible.

I’m starting an audio blog to test out the concept. I’m calling it Sonic Wheel. The title is just a little descriptive but also just vague enough to be flexible. That vagueness allows me to present traditional journalism, personal storytelling or just some experimental audio art.

Philadelphia wakes early on Election Day. Before dawn, the city's neighborhood ward offices hum with quiet anticipation. Coffee pots percolate, envelopes get sealed, and folded bills slip from one hand to another. At corner diners, conversations sound routine, about jobs, the Eagles, the price of groceries, but just under the surface, something else is moving. The machine is alive. This is street money, the unspoken currency of Philadelphia politics. For decades, it has powered campaigns, shaped outcomes, and sustained one of the nation's oldest political traditions.

It was supposed to be a normal ride. Three friends. Cameras rolling. A remote stretch of mountain trail with no signal and no way to call for help. They’d done rides like this before. Nothing unusual. Nothing dangerous. Nothing they couldn’t handle. Then something changed. The footage doesn’t explain it. The timeline doesn’t make sense. And the details don’t line up. The Great Divide is a grounded, cinematic survival thriller that pulls you deep into the wilderness —and leaves you with a question that refuses to settle. What really happened out there?
