No reason to try to reduce it
Not that long ago I wrote in a poem that 'life is so filled with meaning, there is no reason to try to reduce it'. That is how I feel and have felt like for years. Some sense of meaninglessness can come from an attack from others, at times subconscious, slowly but surely eroding one's self-respec...

The Death of the Republican Party
The death of the Republican Party is upon us—and we should rejoice. But those who believe its demise is due solely to President Trump’s prejudice are mistaken. The Republican Party is diseased, and its death has been a long time coming.

Poem: July
July is cherry red,bold and brave and daring.Old Glory waves in silenceover bent heads proudly staring.

That-itish—Better Known as a Bad Case of That, That and More That
Self-editing for the Know-It-All Author (Post #2)
Take a little test. Count how many times you used “that” in your completed manuscript. I had over five hundred in my last manuscript. My editor told me to delete four hundred. Yikes!...

One man’s wife is another’s obsession.
We had a love I thought could never be broken.

We weren’t as strong as our vows once promised.
Dark secrets and vicious lies, they tore us apart.
They cut too deep, leaving open wounds... Read more of this blog post »

Monopoly and the Worry of Authors Everywhere
I took part of the afternoon off for a round of Monopoly with my daughter. It's fun now that she's gotten old enough for us to play adult games together, games that are challenging for both of us. Frozen Sliders and Pretty Pretty Princesses were fun in their time, but I must admit, Monopoly is a...

The Doldrums
I didn’t want to wake up this morning.
Granted, I like my life, so waking up was better than not waking up. But I would have rather stayed in dream mode. 
There are so many little piddling reasons for that.
One, it’s hot. The last time I walked past our weather station it said the temp outside was 9...

The Will of God
Doing your own will is like building sand castles. It can be a lot of fun, but eventually all your kingdoms will fall into the sea and it will be like you never existed. Doing the will of God will change all things and time itself will pay homage to your creation. Matt 26:39

MEDIA MURDERS gets another 5 star review!
My novel The MEDIA MURDERS just received another 5 star review. This reviewer said, "A page-turning mystery thriller. Great action scenes and a dynamite plot. Really loved the main characters John (J.T.) Ryan and Erin Welch. This book kept me on on the edge of my seat seat until the last page!"

Interview with Tana French
Dublin crime novelist Tana French has the kind of critical reviews that other writers would…well, die for. Her debut murder mystery,
In the Woods
, won rave reviews and multiple literary prizes upon its release in 2007. Since then, her books have tended to haunt the bestseller lists, on both sides of the pond, and for months at a time. British newspaper The Independent has dubbed French "The First Lady of Irish Crime," and The Washington Post says she is the most important crime novelist to emerge in the past ten years. ...more
