Am auzit un foșnet lângă fereastra camerei de zi, acolo unde se afla scara de incendiu. De data asta nu mai era reclama Kod-Konsol, cineva umbla la fereastră, încercând să-o deschidă din exterior. Am stins lanterna și m-am ghemuit pe covorul moale. Mi-am căutat arma și am reglat discurile în așa... Read more of this blog post »

Mr. Rogers Neighborhood was the first program I watched regularly. I remember crying at the end of an episode at the age of four years old when he said, "See you next week."

A friend asked the other day why I named all the characters Jordan in my recent book, my answer was simple. My desire was to make the focus on the scene descriptions and the name Jordan is such a great Unisex name equally strong as a female character or a male character. Plus I just like the name...

When I released my first novel "Third Power" upon the world, I was cautiously optimistic. After all, I did my homework and that research showed a self-published first work by a no name author could expect to sell 300-500 copies in its first year--and that's if you had a decent story to tell.
