I do have I'd-rather be-writing-than-marketing syndrome. I call that publicity block. Luckily, GoodReads came onto the scene and makes it so much easier to interact with readers. Which isn't publicity to me. I've always enjoyed direct contact with readers. Readers always energize me. Just the opposite of writers block or publicity-block.(less)

Or being a hermit that hides away from people typing away about his imaginary friends and enemies.

But there are those stellar moments when a women or man has read one of my stories and I learn that my words touched their heart, or caused them to feel empathy for a character, or scared them because the story "could really happen". It's at those times that I feel Ive created the magic, just like the authors I read and admired as a kid, while I hid out from having to go home and face what I didn't want to face.(less)

Impossible Proof – A Testimonial

One winter afternoon at our house, my wife Jo Anna asked me to take her to the hospital. It was the first-time during years of marriage that she ever made such a request, despite previous major operations, including three open heart surgeries. I carried her to my pickup truck and raced to the hospital. There, …
