Voting Oversees

Right off the bat let me say that I don’t plan to go into my personal politics very much on this site. I have some strongly held views that some might agree with and others might not. In person I’m more than happy to talk frankly about those beliefs. But this is a website. More… More Voting Oversees

My Boy Cried This Morning

Something new happened this morning. Leo, my son, cried when I left for work. I like to consider myself pretty active as a father. I try and do what I can to take care of my little guy. But since I work and the Mrs. is currently on childcare leave it is pretty safe to… More My Boy Cried This Morning

My Goodreads Giveaway

The quest for readers continues with a new campaign! Deadly Troubadours was originally published as an ebook on March 15th. To celebrate both that and the publishing of its paperback edition, I’ve started a Goodreads Giveaway. All you have to do to enter is be a goodreads member and follow the link. Goodreads does the… More My Goodreads Giveaway

February 29

As a kid Leap Year had a mystical quality. It seemed like something awesome should happen. Or maybe magical. I love wonder who that changed. I don’t think I noticed the last one. But I’m noticing this one. And I’m taking it off. So no update. I’m going to watch some Last Werk Tonight and… More February 29

2 Day’s with Daddy

The Mrs. is finishing up a big art project. That means she needs as much time as possible alone with her work. Understandably, I’ve been drafted into helping out with this. So, for the last two days from just after lunchtime until darkness fell, Leo and I have been traipsing around Tokyo. Now, Leo is… More 2 Day’s with Daddy

Updated Ebooks Available

In preparation for the paperback release of Deadly Troubadours, I went through the text for one more round of proofreading. Much to my chagrin, I found a few places that needed some editing. A few typos, some clumsy language, etc. Those got cleaned up of course and the current paperback, available here, is the definitive… More Updated Ebooks Available

A Friend’s Book Giveaway

I’ve celebrated the earlier two books by my boon companion G. Derek Adams. There was the debut novel Spell/Sword, a fun romp. That was followed by the murder mystery The Riddle Box. Now he has a third book coming out called Asteroid Made of Dragons. Admit it. The title alone makes you want it. Well,… More A Friend’s Book Giveaway

Home made Tacos and West Wing

I am ready for the weekend, but there is still one more work day to get through. I am trying to look at what has been accomplished this week and not think about how this has been a pretty crap week for writing. Today I put almost 20 more books in the mail, which brings… More Home made Tacos and West Wing

Today I Got Pie

I’ve talked in the past that I like my current job. It is the best place I’ve taught in the 10plus years I’ve been teaching. Great kids, a very supportive administration, fantastic teachers I get to work directly with and a school of other friendly teachers. But today had something a little special: we made… More Today I Got Pie

Status Bulletpoints

Just like the title suggests here are some Bulletpoints about my day. This morning was my first time to take Leo to nursery school. I was briefed on what to expect by the Mrs., but how do you prepare for your baby to start bawling his eyes out when you go to leave. That was… More Status Bulletpoints
