One area which is often overlooked as part of an exercise regimen is weight training.  Some of this is due to misconceptions about weight training such as it is only for athletes or that it will add bulk.  Part of this is also due to an unfamiliarity with weight training and not understanding the...

"There's a reason I don't own one," says Fred Burton, chief security officer at Stratfor, a geopolitical intelligence and forecasting firm based in Austin.

As a former police officer and special agent Burton says you won't find any smart devices in his house -- especially locks. He's content with...

Summertime around our house usually begins like a basket full
of puppies. Wide-eyed, wiggly, itching to run, and rather chaotic. It’s like
we’ve been bottling up all this anxious anticipation and energy throughout the
year, only to finally be released to roam free… and we’re not quite sure what
to do...

Bug is 4 years old. He has been working as my service dog for a little over two years now, and he has been a life saver. He’s the reason that I have kept going when all I wanted to do was die. He gave me my independence back. He gave me my life back.

In December, I started a new jo...

Red is off trail.  Orange is old ATV trail.  Yellow are grades or old forest roads.  There are wet areas on the top of the plateau.  SGL 57 boundary extends further down Burgess Brook than shown on this map.  There are no bridges across streams.  Map is modeled off of one prepared by...

I’ve been doing lots of author interviews and guest posts over the last few days! I’m thankful people have been interested in me and my books.

Dove Winters asks some very interesting questions for my “Questions That Matter” interview with her.

I believe that there is likely to be life on other pl...

This is a well-written, entertaining book about magic in our present day world, with a well thought out, logical magic system and a recognition that being a witch doesn’t pay the bills. The pacing was great, with some variation, the de...

If you enjoy my blog, you're probably a creative person of some kind, whether you're a writer, a visual artist, a graphic designer, or something else. Since I've recently ventured into the land of freelance work, I thought I would share my experience with a particular website, Upwork, to help you...

I have had a WILD last few months, and I don’t say that
lightly.

I feel like I owe everybody in my writing tribe – especially
my CPs Sydney and Keira – a massive apology for my absence and inability to
follow through on, essentially, everything. And I do apologise, sincerely. It’s
been about 12 weeks...

It’s here! The day has finally arrived that I get to show you my home, which by the way is like reading your teenage diary in a crowded room of other writers, standing in your swimsuit. It’s scary. It’s awkward. Please love me.

That’s me. Arlyn Hernandez, Editorial Director here at EHD, smiling t...

Whenever I sit down to write any kind of story, one thing
inevitably occurs. I make mistakes. No matter how extensive I outline my latest
idea, or how much I thought about what I’m going to say, it’s never perfect
when I first put it on the page.

And that’s okay. But it does bring up an important que...

Lo so, ormai non vi stupite più di queste mie apparizioni random, né dei lunghi momenti di vuoto cosmico. A distanza di qualche mese dall’ultimo cenno di vita qui sopra, però, ci tenevo ad aggiornarvi.

My mouth is cavernous, and my hands anchors. In my fingers I feel a sprig of thyme, not there at all but a log nonetheless: Each finger a one-tonne sausage. How far is it to the corner of the ceiling? At least two hundred decibels, I say. Like the recurring childhood nightmare and mom’s soothing...

Faeries are unique and versatile as fantasy creatures. I was—and still am—intrigued by the different form faeries take in books. And I was excited to create my own kind of faerie. Faeries are my favorite because: Faeries can range on a spectrum from light to dark, from little pesky things to huma...

Rien ne fait plus plaisir qu’un joli bouquet, surtout quand il présente une telle profusion de fleurs et de couleurs, comme cette merveille créé par Pampa Paris pour la fête des mères, en collaboration avec Kenzo Parfums. Dois-je en plus préciser qu’il met à l’honneur...

The world can be a depressing place, what with all the school shootings, terrorist threats and political nonsense. I needed to laugh, to lighten things up. Laughing is good for your health. I worked in medical biotech for 30+ years, so I started writing a biotech murder mystery series. This is a...

Would you pay attention more and really listen to her heart?

What if it was the last time you saw her face?

Would you tell her that her beauty still leaves you as speechless as the first day you met.
