How to Honor the Intentions of Those Who Came Before You

December 16, 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 Be Patient

February 16, 2022 by Scott Meyer

At my old office job, there was a honcho from corporate who would come in every now and then to settle someone’s hash. I found it easy to remember his last name because it rhymed with plow. All I had to do was sing the Mr. Plow jingle from the Simpsons using his name instead of plow, and I was golden.

I told that to my immediate supervisor. We shared a small laugh, then she got deadly serious and said, “Yeah, stop doing that.”

How to Remain Optimistic

January 19, 2022 by Scott Meyer

If we ever create an artificial intelligence that is truly superior to us, it may well keep us around to make itself feel superior. It also may to try to improve us, in the spirit of helping the less fortunate.

Imagine a future where robots constantly criticize us or instruct us how to do things, then smother us with condescending praise as we try to follow their advice.

I might prefer extermination.
