Goodreads Authors

I hate to admit it, but I’m a little late to the game. With five books published between two pen names, I’ve missed out on an important part of marketing my books prior to release. I guess they say better late than never, right? Well, here it goes!

This week has been so hot, "so hot" jokes have been trending.

There's only so much you can do with them, of course--they've been around a long time. One of the original European settlers, in the Roanoke Colony of Virginia, left a note that said "it's so hot we're moving to Plymouth". The settlers wer Read more of this blog post »

I found this world totally engrossing with the 5th season being the time needed to recover from a major geologic events like an earthquake or volcanic eruption. This work of fiction is not High Fantasy, but closer to post apocalyptic fantasy. The world's caste system reminds me a bit of Genosha and Read more of this blog post »

The average time it takes for an author to write a book is six months. Of course, books can be written much faster (I've written one in a couple of days) or much slower (it took me 8 years to pull together Public Speaking Super Powers). Why the wide range? It all depends on the book, the style of wr Read more of this blog post »

There are really no fixed "do this “and "do that" rules, as there are no two profile behavioral changes  alike with Alzheimer´s. Consequently, no one has the " exact key" as to how to react to a family member with Alzheimer's radical behavioral changes.

I've been asked why I wrote a semi-autobiographical novel instead of a memoir. My response: Where's the fun in that? The words poured from my fingertips as I told my dark truths and wrapped them in a candy-coated fictional romance.

I had a very nice birthday last Saturday, although my plan to have it as a day off didn't quite eventuate. I ended up writing after all, but that was entirely by choice.

I'd got my computer back from the shop, and I'm pleased to report that it's been running perfectly since. But in the process of doi Read more of this blog post »

As my college friends and fellow English majors would attest, I was never a Shakespeare fan, even though I once attempted a spoof of “Hamlet” entitled “Omelet.” It must have had a Humpty Dumpty-ish sort of plot.

Now, eons after college and having endured a few of Shakespeare’s plays, I have been intr Read more of this blog post »

Aria’s book is a special one for me because it’s my wife’s favorite of The Holiday Series. She usually reads at night after I go to sleep and, apparently, she was surprised that I didn’t wake up because she was sobbing at certain parts. I promise that Aria and London get a happy ending, but it’s a t

There is no lord almighty, only human almighty,
No magic and mysticism, only nature and oneness.
There are no ten commandments, only one,
Compassion has no religion, character has no race.
There’s no law above life, life alone is the supreme law,
And stagnant law does more harm than action illegal.
