    Dave-o Sells his Novelette, Makes his Mother Proud

    Dear Faithful Mojonauts, I'm pleased announce that Paradox magazine has published my novelette, "Tucker Teaches the Clockies to Copulate," in their current issue, #12. This 17,500 word story (the longest piece they've published so far) discusses what happens when a crippled, alcoholic Confederate veteran living in the Utah Territory teaches clockwork robots to have sex. I am confident that, after reading the above description, your impressions of the story are entirely accurate. This same issue also includes historical fiction set in the Antebellum South, medieval China, Elizabethan England, and the Spanish Civil War, as well as original art, poetry, and reviews. It is a steal at just $6. Please, click the above links, then buy a copy, share it with six friends, and sing my praises to the Moon. Thank you, and goodnight.

    Why Doesn't Anyone Love Me?

    Poor Mojo's Rant -- Why Doesn't Anyone Love Me? (Taking a moment to add a couple of our most popular Rants to the Greatest Hits rolls.)
    Why Doesn't Anyone Love Me? by Jason Michael First of all, before we get any deeper into this painful subject, I'd just like to make one thing perfectly clear: this is not a cry for help. Rather, it is a rational, clear-headed observation of my current relationship situation. What the hell is wrong with me? Why doesn't anyone love me? I can't figure it out. I am, by my own account, a complete gentleman, a fine lover, and an ideal mate. Why are these plain truths lost on the female population? Let's examine the facts in the case. . . .
    (UPDATE: Since this Rant was first published in 2000, Mr. Michael has found the love of his life and married her. Mazel tov!)
