“Are you accusing me of sexual harassment?”

I was dumbfounded.

Probably the smallest conference room in the office. It was right next to the... Read more of this blog post »

I am convinced that change has a definite positive side. It helps us realize, for example, that we’ve accumulated a lot of useless things

I have never been particularly frightened of change. I’ve moved house a few times, but I don’t remember particular discomforts, regrets, long periods of maladju...

So, my original plan was to wait on Facebook and Twitter, mostly because I wanted to gain some followers before I unleashed my social media platform, but why wait? Plus, Twitter is a good way to build a following through tweets and exposure. At least I'm hoping. Anyway if you have a Twitter, clic... Read more of this blog post »

I learned three important lessons over the years:

1) Readers expect the same level of editorial perfection in a 99 cent novel as they do in a $15.00 novel.

2) It is impossible for an Author to proof their own work. Our brains have a built-in auto correct feature.

3) Just because you pay a free-lanc... Read more of this blog post »

Good breakfast of bacon, eggs, and fried bologna. Just had a cup of coffee, feeling a bit mentally foggy though for some reason. Well, I did get about 5 solid hours of sleep last night and then another hour of sleep after a piss so perhaps I'm having a hard time waking up because of that. Y... Read more of this blog post »

Writing a book is such a solitary endeavor - researching, writing, and rewriting - that to finally get it out in the world is simply mind-blowing.

One does not simply “finish” reading a novel by John Steinbeck. Poor Boromir. He's been memed beyond all recognition, but I couldn't resist.

Not just Steinbeck, but any great work of fiction deserves a moment of reflection upon completion. Furthermore, with the truly great works, reflection spil...

For those who are

Choose joy! Those two words sound so easy, right? I firmly believe that looking on the brightest side of life is a choice you’ll never regret. That doesn’t make things any less difficult when facing life’s challenges. Most people who know me really well would say that I am more of an optimist tha...

One statement I found to be untrue is: God doesn't give us any more than we can handle. The context of that verse is speaking of sin. We can never say, "I was given so much I had to sin."
Life does throw more at us than we can handle. I'm there now. As maybe you are as well. The great thing about... Read more of this blog post »

When — and why — did you first fall in love with Westerns? Scott, I think there’s a part of every country boy that yearns to be a cowboy. I grew up in a rural area, where I fished and ran around in the open fields, not ever knowing what these things called socks were,

This fall, Star Wars Resistance will take the animated realm into the sequel trilogy era for the first time. The new show has been largely under wraps, but the first trailer has been unleashed and it’s gotten a few interesting reactions online. There are fans who praised Resistance‘s anime-style...

Ignorance is, for some people, bliss.

However, when that translates into comments in their book reviews, it can also be rather revealing.
