Fueled By Despair: Thoughts on Blue Monday
Today on social media I have seen a lot of encouraging and warming posts regarding Blue Monday. The sad fact is that as we all come out of the joy and warmth of the Christmas holiday and the excitement of the New Yearmany of usoften forget that this is the hardest time of the year for many people. January is statistically the month that holds the highest suicide rate. Not only does the air turn frigid, but life too can seem cold and empty for many. As a person who has struggled with anxiety a...

Book Release Anniversary, Beta Readers and Conventions = Exciting Times
Tomorrow will mark the one year anniversary of Keys of Candor: The Red Deaths being released at Amazon. When we released the first book in the Keys of Candor series it was our goal to try and release the second book within one year. It was a lofty goal and though we did miss the one year goal, we are so very close to releasing Sea of Souls. However, we do not want to sacrifice the quality of the story just to meet a deadline; we want to make sure Sea of Souls is as good as it can possibly be...

2015 was a blast and an incredible learning experience. In February we released The Red Deaths after three years of hard work. After writing it about five times we finally had a version we were...

Candor in Real Life – Life’s Unexpected Little Surprises
Sometimes life affords us fun little surprises. These can be inconsequential events that do little more than bring us a smile or sometimes, those little surprises can change our entire life.
This blog is about an event bringing a smile and a nod and not anything that will forever change my life, at least not that I am aware of. Today I experienced one of those fun events that made me smile and think, “Well this is cool.”
Today, I had a brief encounter with Candor in real life. No there were n...
