Feedback and Criticism
If you didn’t know, I have been a Scout leader for years… Den Leader, Cub Master, and District Committee. As part of that, I went through Wood Badge Leadership training. It is adult oriented leadership training… and if you EVER have the chance to do it, I can’t say enough positive things about it. But this isn’t about that… it’s about one thing drilled into us CONSTANTLY during Wood Badge.
Feedback is a GIFT. Treasure it. Listen. Encourage it. Even when it hurts, it helps. Construct...

Who, What, When, Why?
Who, What, When, Why? The fourth book in the Dixon-Prince series is live on Amazon for Kindle. It isn’t available for Kindle Unlimited at this time, though. But it’s only $2.99.
This book is a collection of stories that are before, around and after the main line stories in the Broken Path series (I’m thinking of changing the name of the series to Dixon-Prince… we’ll see). Many of the characters are people you got to know in the other books in the series, but there are a few new character...

Read the Broken Path Series on Kindle Unlimited before they drop off!
Planning Vengeance, Dig Two Graves and You Don’t Know Jack will be dropping from the Kindle Unlimited service over the next few weeks.
Planning Vengeance will end its run there on May 24th. Dig Two Graves ends on May 20th and You Don’t Know Jack drops off on May 13th.
All three books will still be available on Kindle, but not the Kindle Unlimited free reading service. This will allow me to promote them in a few more ways.
But that still means that there is time for you to dive i...

New Book… Loaded Up
Book Three, You Don’t Know Jack, has been loaded on Amazon for Print-On-Demand. It takes a day or three for them to get it through the approval process before it becomes available… but the clock is ticking!
The best place to see if it has landed is on my Author Page on Amazon…

The Proposal – Complete
Maybe you read a part or two of The Proposal… maybe not… but here are the links for all five parts.
If you read Planning Vengeance and Dig Two Graves, you know that the two of them were bound to get together. If you read You Don’t Know Jack, then you know that they did manage to marry each other. That isn’t much of a spoiler. But there are still a few surprises in this vignette story.
Most of the folks that they were involved with from the first two books are still around. So here ...

The Unprecedented Power of Photography
Back in the film days, I was a professional photographer. It was a lot of fun and a wonderful challenge. It is only in the last few years that I have dived back into photography as a more serious hobby, though… this time through the medium of digital imagery.
I have also added Photography Merit Badge Counselor to my list of hats. I help Scouts learn about photography and earn the merit badge. That, on its own, is a load of fun and challenge.
It is through the work in teaching photo...
