Old Friends
I had kids soon after I was married. Between work and raising kids I lost focus on other stuff like staying in touch with friends. My parents needed a lot of care too, which compounded my withdraw from parts of my life. Now, the kids are grown. The bounds I had with many friends remained… Continue reading

Bunker
As a writer, I need a special place to do my work, to get me in the right frame of mind. I once had a desk in a dark corner in my bedroom and I never got comfortable. When my son moved out, I turned his bedroom into my office, but I’m still not quite… Continue reading

Fried Mush
I made myself fried corn mush today. I boiled corn meal and poured it into a small loaf pan. When it was cooled and congealed, I cut slices that I fried in a pan until golden brown.

My uncle is an inspiration. He passed 28 years ago, but he remains an influence and role model. He was a simple man who had a full life.

Generation Gap
As I market my books, I think I’m massively progressive by using Facebook to reach out to people. Using anything with a computer and the internet is a big deal for me. I say this because when I was young, there were no computers, no cell phones, no streaming services. If I wanted to see… Continue reading
