Well, I just crunched the figures and my total number of downloads on Smashwords is 15,375.

It's a source of mixed feelings. Naturally I'm happy to have even a single download. At the same time it's evidence that Clancy, Grisham, and King do not need to be looking over their shoulders.

George Washington's 'Founding War of Conquest':

My latest review is up at Reason.

Well, this past Saturday was launch day for a writer's group co-founded by my author daughter (Kelly) and me. It took us a little while to decide to do this because neither of us are fans of the type of group where writers sit around a table and write to prompts for an hour or so. I also didn't w...

I am happy to announce I will be doing a presentation at Montague Public Schools on October 10th, 2017. It should be a lot of fun talking with students about "Traveling Circus" since it's set in the nearby city of Whitehall Michigan.

Once upon a time it would’ve amazed me how many white people are up in arms about athletes taking a knee in peaceful protest over police brutality applied selectively against people of color: not any more.

I got diagnosed with ADHD a long time ago when I was a child. When I joined the military, I went off my medication for several years until I left the service. After starting school again, I realized how distracted I get. Even now, when I'm on page 156 of a Shannon Sloan Story, I get distracted.

I am so sick of all the propaganda being thrown around, so I thought I'd give a badly needed history lesson.
