#ScribesAndMakers 9/30: What was the last song you listened to?
The very last song I listened to Jesus of Suburbia by Green Day, a favorite band of mine. (PS, the music video is a masterpiece.)

Tom Clancy, American author died on this day in 2013. He was best known for his techno-thrillers featuring technical details in espionage and military science settings.
Clancy published his first novel, The Hunt for Red October, in 1984. Eighteen novels followed between 1986 and 2013.
His Ryanverse series features the character Jack Ryan, an analyst working for the Central Intelligence Agency and ranks among the best-selling series of fictional books of all time, with more than 100 million copies in print.
In addition to the Ryanverse Clancy wrote a couple of other series of techno-thrillers one called Op-Centre and the other called NetForce.
Clancy was one of only three authors to sell two million copies on a first printing in the 1990s (the others were John Grisham and J. K. Rowling). Clancy's novel Clear and Present Danger (1989) sold 1,625,544 hardcover copies, making it the #1 bestselling novel of the 1980s.
Curiously, five years after his death, Clancy was still credited as executive producer on the TV series, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan.

Heard the word "IncomprehensiBollocks" on Mock The Week (think it was Hugh Dennis) recently and now I need to find ways to use it.

#PennedPossibilities 1144: Is there a story behind your MC’s name? Were they named after someone or something?
My MC has many names (shown below), but that's because of their social structure that allows such a peculiarity. Too much to go into, but everybody names themselves. One character has dozens—and has run away from many things, too.
Original name: Unknown to protect her family.
Lightning Bolt: Blackmailed by the mob, she made this one up on the spot because she's a fast flier and she figured they'd believe her. They did. She's now an air courier for the mob.
Good Eye: Her photographs that would appear on the front page of the world's biggest newspaper required photo attribution. Bolt took the suggestion to use in her alternate career as a photographer.
Tandem: She taught a boyfriend (SC, LI) to fly tandem (very hard), but she decided she liked the nickname so Blue uses it for her. Of course, embarrassingly, she keeps discovering people they mutually know (including the leader of the world) know her by that name, moreover, they understand what it means.

#WordWeavers 2026.09.30 — What stereotypes do your MCs deal with in their world?
Everybody sentient in the Reluctance Series, regardless of chromatype, is human. Oddly enough—considering that they are all human—like majority populations in our world, in their world there are power disparities based on appearance and ethnicities and, failing that, arbitrarily high bars to pass over. Bolt, my day angel woman MC, lives in Home City in a daemon majority region, having immigrated. She deals with degrees of segregation and discrimination; she's even told the dander from her feathers make people (i.e. non-angelic) sneeze. But, being human, she reflexively discriminates in kind (amusingly in the men she starts to find attractive). I do focus on gender issues, however.
The subtext of the Reluctance Series is all about stereotypes and prejudices we don't notice because of our culture, traditions, and gender roles. I do my best to make such things subliminal in favor of good stories.

#PennedPossibilities 1144: Is there a story behind your MC’s name? Were they named after someone or something?
In her mother’s native tongue, “Zerika” means strength. Strength of heart, rather, and not the physical sort. She *deserves* the name because it’s true to who and how she is. She has more than lived up to it.

#PennedPossibilities 1143: SC POV: Write a diary entry, dated [dozen] years in the future. (If you can.)
[Since these people count in dozens and dodecades, and ten is considered a vanity counter, I modded the prompt for verisimilitude. Yes, this SC in the current WIP (an MC elsewhere) does enjoying doing the girly early teen act—still—as she works to not to let her fungible ethics seem a little bit evil. —RS]
Yep. Calendar verifies. Been exactly one dozen years since Peaceful Forest Stripes prevented my latest crazy save-even-your-enemies maneuver from permanently killing me once more, and then I showed Rainy Days a thing or two she hasn't given me guff about.
Yet. Certainly not letting her read my dairy. Noooo…
I got saddled with way too much responsibility, or course, way more than I ever wanted, practiced my tricks until I mastered them, finally, only to find a whole class of new tricks to study, and, miraculously, I'm still alive!!! Not admitting the other close calls. Not gonna. (Too many, mostly fun in retrospect. Learned so much!)
Whatevs.
But, still, for all those who, "You have a death wish:"
[Dots of dried spittle stain the page.]
I. Am. Still. Alive!
To be clear, those dots in that blank area are from a long lasting raspberry accompanied by plenty of rude noises.
