Grandpa Sends ~

some of the best stuff to entertain me when I am in need of a laugh. This did it for me. I had never seen this before and couldn't stop laughing. Hope you enjoy.

The Things I Find Amusing~

You know, I get a TON of spam comments here on my blog. 87 today alone! I get your standard Viagra spam, celebrity nude spam, pharmaceutical spam, the I've just learned English how is this sentence spam…. you name it I probably get it. Every once in a great while a line will jump out at me and make me think. Like this-

Most recent information about Paris Hilton's boobs.

I shit you not… that was in the body of the comment in my spam folder. And how could one possibly waste one more second of thei

I Am In Love~

And for once it is not with a pair of shoes.

I kid you not.

At the ripe ol' age of 'I'm not telling' I have discovered a love for baseball. I come from a family of football fans. Niners fans to be exact with a straggler or two rooting for some other team. My twins… well somehow at the age of four they decided one was a Packers fan and one was a Cowboys fan. Needless to say their grandfather and aunt have not disowned them yet and it has been almost two years since they decided who they were cheeri

A Few Updates~

Well, guess what I discovered while perusing Amazon.com the other day? Print Anthology cover art. I tell you what, Scott Carpenter does awesome work! Um do I love the cover? Surely you jest. I mean really what kind of a question is that. Just look at it. Is it love? Oh that might be a slight understatement.

Now this little beauty is available for pre-order now, however it will not be released until March 1,2010. I know talk about your early teasers for those of you dying to have a print copy, but

Unexpected~

You ever have someone totally surprise you? It doesn’t happen often for me which is a shame considering how I love a good surprise. Though the few I have had the pleasure of receiving were quite memorable. One will always stick out in my mind from my childhood. When I was in junior high, I wanted a ten speed. My parents gave me a card. A card! Okay, well there was more to this card than met the eye. In the very corner of the envelope was a paper clip and a string was tied to it. I had to follow

Have You Seen My Muse?

With multiple stories in the works, it is always difficult to decide which one to focus on. I’ve done everything from story hop to forcing myself to concentrating on one project regardless of whether or not I was ‘feeling’ it. The latter is not my recommended way of doing things, but then again neither is the former. Hopping from story to story tends to lend itself well towards leaving a writer (or at least this writer) with the feeling that they never finish anything. On the other hand, if you

MeanKitty and a New Review?

Yep that’s right! I am making an appearance at Mean Kitty’s Blog today. If you are not familiar with Mean Kitty, maybe you know who Mean Kitty bosses on a regular basis-author Jody Wallace. Please pop on over and show a little love! (If you click on Jody’s name be sure to go to her blog to peruse my interview with Mean Kitty.) 

Also, I had the pleasure of receiving a wonderful email last night. I was reviewed at Fallen Angel Reviews! Buckling Down received four fallen angels and I couldn’t be hap

Life Happens~

Wow! this has been a really huge roller coaster ride for me lately. Book released, life issues happened, my creative well ran a little dry… you know the norm. Only at this point in time, it seems to be more overwhelming than usual. Its alright though. Slowly, the tides are turning, I am getting back into ‘Chosen’ and making a bit of progress.

So the ideas are flowing for other stories as well. If I thought I could manage popping back into the young adult book without my BFF totally having a coron

Rememberance~

It is important that we never lose sight of why Memorial Day exists. As we prepare to celebrate, many of us are up to our elbows in BBQ preparations or planning to attend one thrown by friends and/or family. Yet there is more to this holiday than BBQ’s and kicking off the summer. 

We live in a country where we have many freedoms that others around the world do not. To protect our freedoms and to attempt to provide others with the same opportunity to taste such freedoms…many men and women have pai
