How to Take an Interest in a Subject You Usually Don't Find Interesting

December 09, 2024 by Scott Meyer

I have a new novel out!

It is entitled That's Not Right, and I am extremely proud of it. It is available on Kindle, and on Audible, narrated by the always excellent Luke Daniels.

Things often happen that are out of my control, but I would very much like to turn releasing a new book abut this time of year into an annual event, similar to how Agatha Christie always released “A Christie for Christmas.”

If I can pull this schedule off, I hope people will refer to reading my new book each year as having a “Meyery Christmas.”

As part of the festive holiday commercial extravaganza, my first (and, by far, most popular) novel, Off to Be the Wizard will be available for Kindle in the US market for $1.99 throughout December. This is a nice chance to give it a look-see for less than the cost of a Starbucks. If you like it, the Kindle version of the second book in the series, Spell or High Water will also be on sale for $2.49.

So, on that note, allow me to be the first to wish you all a very Meyery Christmas!

How to Vent Your Frustration

March 18, 2022 by Scott Meyer

Another Mission Impossible movie came out between the one mentioned in this comic and now. Mission: Impossible Fallout. In it, Tom Cruise and his team had to operate as fugitives, and he dangled from the underside of an elevator.

How to Recognize an Opportunity

February 09, 2022 by Scott Meyer

I am on the record as having really enjoyed the movie Tomorrowland. I don’t claim it’s some high-point in western cinema, but it’s an enjoyable fantasy-adventure with a message that resonates for me. Also, George Clooney in old grouch mode is fun. (Some day, he and Brad Pit will star in a remake of Grumpy Old Men. An entire generation will groan in despair when they see the first trailer, but they’ll go see the movie.)

I think part of the movie’s problem was that they sold it as a George Clooney action film with a young lady for a sidekick, but then the movie turned out to be two young ladies on an adventure with George Clooney as an Obi Wan figure.

Anyway, it’s on Disney+ now, so if you believe that the future can still be great if we just have the gumption to make it great, or if you have a daughter and you’d like her to see some good role models, I suggest you give it a shot.
