Current thoughts of the day, what’s on my mind.

  • Updates

    When I figure out how, I’ll get my newsletter going from my book page. In the meantime, I’m at a Comic-Con tomorrow with my books. At the same time, I’m running an eBook promotion on Amazon: Continue reading

  • 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

  • Cave Man

    My father was a cave man. He struggled to find work that satisfied him. When he was about forty, he gave up and seldom left his house for the next forty years. Alcohol helped him in his hermitage. His experience became a cloud that shadowed my work life, adding to a paranoia that I would… Continue reading

  • Second Edition

    I haven’t added to my blog because I’ve been busy getting out a second edition of Book One of my Escape From Desolation series. This version is out as an eBook. It’s a much cleaner version and something I’m proud to promote. Continue reading

  • Mountain Stream

    In July I went to the mountain’s with the family for a vacation. Each morning I got up at 5 am to go fly fishing. I went early before anyone else was awake and I had the stream to myself. Even though a Starbucks was a five minute walk away, on the water there was… Continue reading

  • Those Were the Days

    The Fourth of July usually is a day for BBQs and big gatherings. This year people in my family went all directions. My wife, daughter and I went to a mostly empty theater and watched a movie. We had no big BBQ. No one came over. Our only fireworks were a few sparkles in the… Continue reading

  • Trash Collector

    My creative spirit weaves throughout my day. Often I act on it and sit down to write or go to my easel and paint. I see creative potential in many things. I see a pile of wood and imagine a sculpture. When I re-furbished my backyard deck, I didn’t see the left over wood as… Continue reading

  • Books

    When I put my first book out, I didn’t know what to expect. I was exclusively focused on getting it into print. I didn’t put any thought into the next step. It was one of the most rewarding and exciting things to see my work in print form, as a book I could hold in… Continue reading

  • Spa

    My music interests have changed over the years. I’m dating myself but I remember when the Beatles appeared on The Ed Sullivan show. At the time, I thought they were silly, with their funny hair. But by the time I was a teenager, and they had broken up, I discovered them and became a fan.… Continue reading

  • Honeymoon

    When my wife and I got married, we went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. We were fortunate to have help from our families to afford it. We left 27 below zero weather and arrived in Honolulu which was a balmy seventy plus. I remember the whole trip, but that temperature change sticks in my mind. Continue reading
