I will be leaving tomorrow for a long road trip stretching from Portland to the High Sierras to the deserts of Arizona to Orange County and up the California coast. We will be listening to audiobooks, podcasts, and perhaps some good old rock 'n roll. I'll be discussing my writing and ideas with m... Read more of this blog post »

Material for "Mardi Gras in Kodachrome" went to the publisher today. I would feel more relief except I had meant to have it all wrapped up last week. Things always seem to get telescoped into past-deadline all-nighters (fraught with computer glitches) in the end, no matter how much I plan. Wife a... Read more of this blog post »

Hello fellow writers and bloggers my name is Lee Pierson. I just finished answering six questions that Goodreads gives to those that have just signed up. Good questions I might ad. This is a test blog just to see how this works.
I have a new audiobook and eBook called Cages and Kitchen Tables. I... Read more of this blog post »

Hey, everyone!

It's a long time until Sweet Clematis is released but people have been asking for some more beings. (And also I needed something fun and short to write, sooo.)
So please enjoy this tiny future glimpse of a character from Clematis's book.

Each time I raise my gaze to the night sky,
A million stars stare back, shedding happy tears of light.
And I cannot but stare back in delight,
Wondering which one of them holds your great soul.
Tell me, Old Nelson, do they--these stars--still shine upon
you?

Heaven should grant that they do;
For like t... Read more of this blog post »

whenever i fall in love with someone, it's always a hard landing it seems. and since my luck seems to be few and far between, long distance relationships are usually the norm. so, i suppose having one with a woman in Italy was simply seeking to punish myself. i'm not quite buying a shitty phone a...

I am very happy to report that Holly is much better. She began to improve once the vet increased the prednisone and we are now starting to slowly wean her off it. She still has the head tilt and is not completely steady on her feet, but she no longer acts as if she’s gotten into the wine when my... Read more of this blog post »

The Last Frontier of the Fading West
When we write—be it fiction or non-fiction—so much of our own “story” becomes part of the book. I’ve just finished a non-fiction manuscript on the subject of finding happiness and, in addition to all the facts, quotations and opinions of recognized authori... Read more of this blog post »

The nine muses were Greek goddesses presiding over literature, science, and the arts. Even now, writers, poets, painters, musicians and yes, even scientists, ask their muses for help when it comes to solving problems, tapping inner creativity, or just finding a bit of inspiration. But the muse –... Read more of this blog post »

To be forgotten
As if to have never lived
Such is the pain on contemplating
Of death and dying

Let me just say at the outset: I hate not writing fiction.

As I work on the dissertation for my PhD, keep my head in a demanding full-time job, and juggle these with a busy family life, writing fiction has been moved to the back burner. I knew this would happen when I reached that dreaded stage in... Read more of this blog post »

I have two vices in life. Watching Netflix and drinking Diet Coke. I was a Diet Pepsi fan until a few years back. My boss at the time drank a Diet Coke every morning. I knew she was in her office because I'd hear her pop the top of the can from down the hall.

A small update for you all,

Kindle Unlimited is being volatile again. As such I'm going to be pulling my books from the program.

“They’re getting blurry!” Ayden exclaimed, pointing at the field of stars visible from through the large window.

So, if you didn’t catch it, I did a small AMA yesterday on r/YAwriters. It was an interesting experience!

One of the hardest aspects of writing is dealing with emotions. Writing about feelings on paper, maybe a poem or describing a state of a character, and dealing with an emotion as a muse can challenge your voice and word choice.

A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership by James Comey

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


As the author of a book about the U.S. government (a general-audience civics book), I found the content of Mr. Comey's book very interesting, which is why I paid retail for it soon after it came out.
