To be forgotten
As if to have never lived
Such is the pain on contemplating
Of death and dying

Let me just say at the outset: I hate not writing fiction.

As I work on the dissertation for my PhD, keep my head in a demanding full-time job, and juggle these with a busy family life, writing fiction has been moved to the back burner. I knew this would happen when I reached that dreaded stage in... Read more of this blog post »

A small update for you all,

Kindle Unlimited is being volatile again. As such I'm going to be pulling my books from the program. This is hard for me as I've always been a supporter of it, but I can't risk them suspending or terminating my account. If they did I wouldn't be able to put my books ont...

“They’re getting blurry!” Ayden exclaimed, pointing at the field of stars visible from through the large window.

The writings found in The New Consciousness are revelatory. They are not the brain child of the author's human intellect, rather they comprise a communication from the spiritual consciousness of man at this present point in time and human evolution. This has been the nature of all genuine spiritu... Read more of this blog post »

One of the hardest aspects of writing is dealing with emotions. Writing about feelings on paper, maybe a poem or describing a state of a character, and dealing with an emotion as a muse can challenge your voice and word choice.
Let's look at word choice first. Obviously, the type of writing can h... Read more of this blog post »

Olen luvannut kirjoittaa kirjasta nimeltään Timanttiaukio. Sen on kirjoittanut katalonialainen Mercé Rodoreda vuonna 1962. Itse löysin Timanttiaukion noin viisikymmentä vuotta myöhemmin ja lumouduin heti. Syitä oli useita. Yksi tärkeimmistä oli suhteeni Barcelonaan, kaupunkiin, jossa Timanttiauki...

There are hyper-controversial subjects, and there are emotionally charged ones. Then there’s the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is both. And that’s something of an understatement.

When the guide of conduct is a moral ideal we are never suffered to escape from perfection. Constantly, indeed on all occasions, the society is called upon to seek virtue as the crow flies.
