In the brief portion I got drafted I introduced three characters, Cole (the Henchman), Xerogold (a Li... Read more of this blog post »

"I'm going to be sick," said Sonja. "Something is dead down here." She gagged and nearly vomited.
"We are going to be dead down here if we don't hurry." I looked behind us and still no sign of any new priests of demons. Maybe they wouldn't figure out we'd escaped the dungeon into the sewer but mos... Read more of this blog post »

I remember one successful businessman remarking that it always seems that the harder you work, the luckier you get.

When in high school I, along with my buddy Bob had a passion for auto racing. Neither one of us had the kind of cash it took to buy or build a race car, but we did however spend most every Friday and Saturday summer evening attending races at the old Englewood Speedway.

Here's an interesting thought. It relates to what someone very close to me said years ago. At the time I shrugged the comment off out of hand, and now, I realise, rather arrogantly.
