Moore Than Meets The Eye

Life is unpredictable.

It's about trial and error and it is laced with both good and bad chemistry. Living fully means testing boundaries—like the time you wanted to see if you could eat thirty White Castle burgers in five minutes. You cheered when you did it, but as Newton's Read more of this blog post »

Life is tough! What’s a Christian to do?

Who hasn’t felt like that? Oh, yes, we’ve definitely felt that way! When push comes to shove, we are tempted to throw in the towel with several choice expletives. Yes, we are. It’s human nature.

Not too long ago, I resumed writing the sequel to my book, L’Amérique, which was published by a small university press. It’s a thinly disguised partly fictional autobiography—something I like to call faction (fact/fiction, get it?) and when it came out, it was relatively well received. I still get r Read more of this blog post »

Hello everybody,

I hope you’re all nice and dandy and 2021 is treating you better than last year!

ONE idea that has always tickled my author fancy is whether to write in, about or around a topic, typically these days, violence. I’m not a violence fan, so when I write about it, I typically take a 1940s approach and write around it. No sociopathic murder or scintillating gore. The story is about b Read more of this blog post »

My mother died on the thirteenth of February, so as you can probably imagine, I haven't done much writing this month. She had Alzheimer's disease, so we knew this day was coming, but I don't think any of us expected it quite so soon.

Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This is the first book I've read by Haruki Murakami. I tend to like surrealism and magical realism, and was looking forward to reading Murakami's work. My first impression of Kafka on the Shore was, as expected, how strange it was. Mura Read more of this blog post »
