About this author

I write books; I read books. I write non-fiction pieces; I read the news, which is supposedly non-fiction. I write poetry occasionally; I've gotten out of the habit of reading poetry -- must fix. I wrote short stories in another life; I read collections of short stories occasionally.

I write blog posts; I read opinion pieces. I photograph things that catch my eye; I enjoy my Flickr Friends' photographs.

I tweet; I read tweets, well, okay, I read tweets addictively. I post Facebook status updates through third-party apps when I must; I read Facebook status updates through third-party apps.

I use Goodreads to read more; I wrestle with the Goodreads iPhone app, finally acknowledge defeat, and go back to the website to read what others are up to i...more


Camp NaNoWriMo (or as I like to shorten it, Camp NaNo) is in two days, and I ain’t ready, not by a half mile, I ain’t. I’m also awake too early. You’d think those two sentences would mean I could get my Camp bus in gear and set off. Nope. Instead I’m punchy from lack of sleep.


Monday, I finished my third NaNoWriMo novel Time and Space. I did those final find-and-replace kind of edits, the ones w...

Angels by David Jeremiah
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
A nicely laid-out book, structured in a logical order, but the good information on angels is buried under a lot of proselytizing. One must be patient and dig down to keep track of the information on angels per se, of what the Bible and popular belief...more

This was awesome!

I wasn't sure I'd enjoy a science fiction novel written by two authors, starring an angel and a demon, but it came strongly recommended. I was hooked from the beginning. There were a few typos here and there, and by their rarity stuc...more

Killing Floor by Lee Child
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
For a first novel, it was okay. But the plethora of cliches got to be a bit much, and right at the end, in the very last chapter, I couldn't continue anymore. So I set it aside for awhile, and when I got back to it, enough time had passed that I no l...more

Somehow I rated this but didn't review it! This book was recommended to me by a Michael Connelly fan, and I wasn't disappointed. It's an interesting concept about a sleazy lawyer who works out of his Lincoln car (hence the title) and has to face his...more
