Cool Things. Volume #2
NEW MEXICO – THE GREAT UNKNOWN My love affair with New Mexico started years ago and it’s hard not to be captivated by this mysterious State. Lurking beneath it’s dusty, red surface is an undercurrent of other worldliness that defies description. This mystique defines its allure, yet it remains the enigma of the American South West. ...

Cool Things. Volume #1
Welcome to the first edition of Cool Things. I’ve been brainstorming for a blog series that was interesting and fit my brand. More importantly, it had to be authentic or I’d be outed like a dirty shirt. My interests and inspirations are varied – like my writing – so I wanted a topic with enough ...

Goodbye 2017
I love me a new year. Fresh starts, a clean slate…I mean, what’s not to love? Each New Year brings hope, ambition and ideas to the forefront, but nothing is ever guaranteed except change. 2017 was no different. Before saying hello to 2018, its time to reflect on the year that was. My 2017 list ...

Read this post before you start! Writing is neither glamorous or social. Yes, there are prizes and bestseller lists, ...

The Fall of Gawker
The Fall of Gawker. How money trumped psuedo-journalism. It was serendipity. This weekend I read Ryan Holiday’s book, “Trust Me I’m Lying: Confessions of a Media Manipulator”, which detailed how blogs like Gawker, Buzzfeed and The Huffington Post drive, and manipulate, the current media agenda. After a particularly brazen segment, I pulled out my phone ...

Canadian TV
Canadian TV A scam wrapped in hypocrisy, served on a bed of conglomerates. On March 1, 2016, CRTC Chairman Jean Pierre Blais heralded: “Today marks the beginning of a new era of choice for Canadian television viewers.” While this type of platitude-speak is not surprising coming from a government agency, the sheer ludicrousness ...

Canada 150 has nothing on this.
Canada 150 has nothing on this. Oddly enough, humans and the Forex currency markets have something in common. Both gravitate towards round numbers, especially those ending in zero. 30th 40th and 50th birthdays are considered landmark years to celebrate, just as a currency pair will float towards 1.30 or 1.40 if it can. Nor surprising, ...

What’s Your Book About?
If someone asked you what’s your book about, do you have an answer? More importantly, is it right one? As soon as someone finds out you are writing a book, hands down, this is the first question they will ask. Writers spend so much time alone, so entrenched in characters and plot, any opportunity to ...
