We were new to the town of Gainesboro—not a thriving metropolis; rather, a solid little town of salt-of-the-earth Middle Tennesseans surrounded by rolling hillsides. The church sat on Murray Street, one block off Main, and had just hired a young preacher...the same man I married.

Hey everyone. Just published a brand spanking new novel. After you read it feel free to reach out to me on here. Always happy to talk shop with readers and writers.

America loves a winner - that's true. Win, win, win. We're all about winning. Lost in our culture of winning is an important concept that often goes overlooked. What about the man - or woman - who gives their best yet still falls short of the mark? Are they a failure? I think not. No man is a fai... Read more of this blog post »

A long time ago, during my London days, I was in a relationship with a man I believed was my soulmate. One night, deep into a bottle of red, we talked about love. He said something I never expected a romantic like him to say, he told me: "No matter how in love people are, one day, love dies. It a...

Thank you for being a follower on goodreads. When I recognized a few names, it brought a smile to my face. It may seem confusing that I have three copyright dates for " A Second Life." The publisher decided to release a paperback and ebook version in 2018. I have received good feedback/reviews. I... Read more of this blog post »

Twice before in 2005 and 2007, North Korea, under their former leader, said they would get rid of their nuclear weapons. If the Unite States/North Korean summit does take place, lets hope and pray they really mean it this time. The stakes may be too high if they don’t.

My late dad served in the army in World War II from 1942-45. He was in the Pacific Theater, where he contracted malaria, was awarded a bronze star, and earned a purple heart after being wounded by shrapnel, which came dangerously close to hitting his carotid artery, which would have been fatal.

So has peace in our time with North Korea been cancelled?

When President Trump abruptly called off his prospective meeting with North Korea’s chairman Kim Jong-un yesterday, the media immediately crowed that his strategy had gone belly-up, that it showed how incoherent and altogether rubbish his f...

After almost four years, and more than 56,000 downloads, Enslaved has been banned from Amazon.
I'm not sure why, because Amazon is not transparent when they do things like this. They just refer you to some vague guideline that gives no helpful information. Several fellow authors have suggested th... Read more of this blog post »

Alone in the garden

he used to stand,

with a faraway-look

and a scythe in his hand,

and when people saw him,

they used to say,

“There’s Old Father Time,”

and bid him, “Good Day.”


They could not ignore him

as Time marched on

with the clock at the station

and the school bell’s, “Ding Dong.”

“The plan goes like this,” novelist Philip Roth explains. “Your grandparents die. And then in time your parents die. The truly startling thing is that your friends start to die. That’s not in the plan.”

After I think my best month since I started writing, sales and reads are finally slowing down for the month. Not that I mind, I honestly expected as much and am happy that I got to experience this spike.

Not the news presses, but the book publishers who keep spewing out novels with the same plot. Full disclosure here: I read romance fiction, mostly the contemporary kind, although historical romances do have that added dimension of describing the fascinating events, customs, and dress of bygone da...

  Sometimes in negotiation, we are forced to deal not only with the issues on the table but also with concerns about keeping face. One famous instance took place in the late 1990s, when John K, the Asia-Pacific regional sales manager of Lucent, mistakenly agreed to a sale price of the network mon...

When I read that politically incorrect, sexually explicit Jewish writer Philip Roth had died, I assumed he died from disgust at the state of American culture and democracy during this absurd moment in American history. In 2004, Roth published a novel, THE PLOT AGAINST AMERICA, which imagined Amer... Read more of this blog post »

With the election upon us, it may be a good time to reflect upon what government was instituted for.

Not so long ago, God created mankind and placed him (and shortly thereafter her) here on earth. He placed us here completely free, with no restraints whatsoever except for a few commands mostly in... Read more of this blog post »

If i'm honest, I am a selfish person. I think everyone is. Only when the selflessness of our actions meet this can we strive to hit the middle. And It has to be about us. Our inherent nature. But when we accept this, this is when we are open to helping others. Not all of us. Fuck no. A jerk is a... Read more of this blog post »

With its train heist, gangsters, and scenes of trench warfare, the new Solo movie manages to conjure not so much a galaxy far, far away as Earth at the beginning of the 20th century. And in a weird way, it works.

I went in with very low expectations. My primary concern was that Harrison Ford’s po... Read more of this blog post »

In a world where we sometimes lose ourselves in the chaos of every day life it’s peculiar to think that art can have any impact in the changes we make as human beings on planet Earth. It’s odd to think that a sculpture, drawing, painting, poem or any piece of literature could make a difference. A... Read more of this blog post »
