Deep-Fried America Dispatches
Flat Branch Press is posting Deep-Fried America dispatches from me on a weekly basis at their website. You might-maybe should check it out. I’ll leave a link at the bottom. Here’s the first dispatch posted a few Wednesdays ago. The Magic Inside Music How a summer night in 1968 sparked a lifelong search for the magic inside music. By David Biddle·May 15, 2026·2 min read Continue reading…
We need to think about music a lot more than we do.

The Effect of Amplified Sound
Crazy new sounds and new melodies constantly and consistently showed up on the radio for those of us growing up in the 1950s and 1960s (and on into the early 1970s). Every week or so brought astoundingly uniquely creative, highly developed songwriting, production, and performance that constantly knocked our socks off…again, and again, and again. The record companies back then understood they…
Sound Effect Infinity: early adopter special edition
Finally, a hardcover, paperbound version of Sound Effect Infinity is available. For now, you can only get it through Amazon. They’re set up to ship to you within just a few days. Yes, you may have pre-ordered a version from my old publisher, but that book never shipped (sad face here). They were having issues with a big media company merger. After waiting three years, it seemed only right to take…
A Brief Scene from "Sound Effect Infinity"
My next novel, Sound Effect Infinity, will release early this spring. I’ve been busy prepping it for print publishing by Flat Branch Press over the past few weeks. A special edition hardcover will have a soft launch in February. If you’re interested in ordering a copy, drop me a line, sign up to the right for our mailing list, or follow me on Instagram or Facebook. In the mean time, I’m dropping…
What About Emotion in Fiction?
Just this morning I received and email telling me that someone “liked” a comment/post I made to a Substack last June. One wonderful thing about writing when you’re in your last quarter is that you often forget some of the stuff you wrote–both on the fly and even stories and passages in novels you’ve been working (for far too long). The forgetting allows at times for happy surprise and even pride.…
"My sense is that when a child is born, mother's milk emerges to feed the baby, but grandparents feed babies with stories."
My latest post on what I think of where we are and where we're going. Please share if it touches a nerve or pisses you off.

Who's In Charge Here, Soldier?
One of my favorite scenes in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1979 movie, Apocalypse Now, is when Martin Sheen’s character, Captain Willard, has landed on a river bank in the dead of night during a major fire fight between US troops and their hidden North Vietnamese opponents. He, with young Lance (who is tripping on acid) in tow, are trying to locate a commanding officer in the midst of all the chaos and…
Wielding Hope and Dreams
Bruce Springsteen ande Nils Lofgren – Born in the USA Tour, 1985 (Source: Getty Images) Source: Gettu Images Back in March, TW Magazine published commentary by me called “Which Way We Going Now?” What I wondered in that piece was how artists of all types were going to respond to changes forced on us by this new administration. The last time we had to deal with those same folks, the only…

Voices Gone Living On
I have learned as a reader who happens to be a writer that you never know when you’re going to bump into something new and interesting to influence your work. As examples, in the past week or so I’ve read three different types of document that inspired new thoughts and ideas for the novel I’m working on. One was a Substack memoir series; another a book review; the third a hybrid…
Which Way We Going Now?
On being an artist in this strange new world I’ve been wondering about two things ever since the spring of 2016 when Donald Trump began winning primaries and getting all sorts of weird media attention. First off, were the Republican Party and its voters really willing to accept responsibility for the direction that guy wanted to push them? And, secondly, how much would the art world step up as a…
What I'm Up to in 2025
My new novel is now available as an E-book everywhere that digital books are sold. Here’s the landing page at my publisher’s site for some choice jumping off links. As to the audiobook version, I continue to slowly edit and correct the audio files. What an interesting and important process for all writers. I pointed that out in my last post. It continues to be a fascinating experience to hear…
Sound Effect Infinity Releases as an E-Book
It’s been a long time rolling along, but Sound Effect Infinity is finally ready for reading in full through most any meaningful online book outlet out there. I’ll pop a few links in at the bottom of the page. As noted in a post a few months ago, this book was originally planned for release in November of 2023. I’d like to blame someone for the time lag, but, honestly, the whole bookworld is in an…
Life on the Outskirts of DNA: transcending race
I’m in the middle of writing a novel about 21st century racial identity, among other things. Also pioneering, mixed race farming communities in the 19th century Midwest, and the future Utopia that we are all not going to know we’re living in. I began writing this story in the fall of 2003, partly as an experiment with a new-fangled thing called Weblogs. After being on this planet for 45 years,…
