My final story for today is an obscure one, that very few people know about it. One of the most interesting epic metal bands to discover in the early to mid-00s were Holy Martyr (@holymartyrband ). I’d first heard of them when they released ‘Hail To Hellas’ in 2003. If you were in the metal sc...

During a recent visit to Toledo, Ohio, to speak at a local school, I saw remarkable signs of an improving economy in this Rust Belt city. My taxi driver from the airport boasted that he could leave his position tomorrow and have his pick of other jobs. The hometown law students with whom I lunche...

The journal I used to record Nicole’s progress through rehabilitation for her brain injury.

I love seeing movies inspired or based on true events. The first two books I wrote were inspired by true events, and when people ask about them, I feel a need to go through the explanation that inspired by...

Shit has been rough.

Up until last week I was able to use school as a distraction from the mystery that is rampaging my body. I sent out letters to everyone over last weekend saying I’m dropping out but staying around until the end of the month to tie up all the loose ends. I have since lost most...

É difícil imaginar que poderia ser diferente

quando tudo parece sempre igual

ou o passado soa atraente

mas se esse pensamento existe

também existe a vontade de mudar

o que fará o futuro ser diferente

é entender o que a nostalgia quer dizer

e deixá-la falar por uns minutos

talvez horas, até o dia nascer

Y vamos por el tercero, leyéndolo en orden de lectura (si quieren saber la diferencia entre orden de lectura y orden de publicación, por favor lean la primera entrada sobre Narnia). Vuelvo solo a mencionar rápidamente el origen de mi motivación para leer a esta serie, además de que se trata de un...

I continue to ponder the questions I asked in my post, “What’s Next?”  I was asking  how I wanted to live, to show up, for this next phase of my life.  The questions led me to one of my favorite authors, the late John O’Donohue. He wrote the poem below  entitled  For a New Beginning. 

FOR A NEW BE...

Finally got around to bringing the cast from Book 3 together as originally intended in one portrait.

Meanwhile work is progressing on the first Reverie side story. It’s ended up being a bit more than a short story, but a fair way short of a full novel, so not quite sure what to call...

Whether you’re a stay-at-home mom or working mom, going back to school changes the flow of any routine you got into during the summer. Each new school year seems to be different too. There can be new drop-off guidelines, new start times, and new opportunities for your kids to be involved in befor...

The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence – it is to act with yesterday’s logic.  —Peter Drucker

On Today’s Episode:

I thought I should update this because like, I just now realized it doesn’t have as many chapters as I thought it did. I’m probably going to be skipping ahead a bit in this chapter. That Cinderella Ball is making me want to. Gaaah. I can’t wait to get there!

I am honoured and privileged that the following writers local, national and international have agreed to be interviewed by me. I gave the writers two options: an emailed list of questions or a more fluid interview via messenger.

I’m having a go at writing narrative poetry for a personal project. This is one of the chapters. I’m unsure of the rules- and this is how it’s emerging. Despite it being a true story, I welcome all feedback- good and bad.

It is no news that in our state, several ladies have been killed recently and if you put all the news together and try to analyze the deaths which are more than 8 now, several things are connected and common.

* Hotel rooms

* Bed

* Dead

* White handkerchiefs

It so happened that, even though I don’t consider myself to be of a certain age, we joined the National Trust with a family pass, our kids dragging down the average age of a visitor by at least thirty years.

Over the summer, we visited a number of lovely places – Thomas Hardy’s house, Agatha Chris...

Giving your power to your past is one of the biggest personal distractions you can allow. Situations that you keep re-thinking over and over again, can keep you complacent. Whatever situations that have happened in the past can push you, or hold you back. Instead of recalling the success and prod...

No mesmo ano em que uma sondagem do semanário Expresso revelava que 43% dos portugueses não liam um único livro há seis meses, leio que na Finlândia as pessoas são bastante mais amigas da leitura e que são vendidos por ano no país cerca de 20 milhões de livros, o que indica aproximadamente 4 li...
