Mid-Life Crisis – The Beginning

In chatting with a…what do I call someone I’ve been messaging with, haven’t met yet, but would like to see naked? Is that a friend? Acquaintance? I think there needs to be a new category for this. Anyway, during a recent conversation, the term mid-life crisis was called into question. This friend/acquaintance/like to get naked … Continue reading Mid-Life Crisis – The Beginning

Yup, They Know It’s Christmas Time

So we had a little bit of a good time about online dating last post, but it’s time to get more serious, just for a minute. As I write this, it’s Christmas Eve (even though you are not reading it until Christmas day or later). The importance of this fact is that I will wake … Continue reading Yup, They Know It’s Christmas Time

The Online Dating Game

It’s been three and a half years since my ex and I split. The funny thing about that? When it happened, she was convinced I’d meet someone right away, fall in love, and move on with my life. One of those three has come to pass: I’ve moved on. No luck with the other two so … Continue reading The Online Dating Game

Who the Hell am I

My first intent with the blog was to get right into the world of online dating–there is so much content to mine there–but things happen, and sometimes you have to go off on a tangent. Today is tangent day. Like most people, I think, I consider my car my space. What I do in there … Continue reading Who the Hell am I

Hello, My Name is Bruce

For the first time in a long time, I thought to myself: it’s time to write on my blog again. It wasn’t until I actually visited that I realized it has been almost a year since the last time I posted. Wow. Since it’s been so long, I’ve decided to start over from the beginning. …

Look at that…Another Year

So, it seems while we’ve all been busy, yet another year slipped by. Is it just my imagination, or does each fresh one seem to get past more quickly than the previous one? How about we have a quick state-of-the-union post to get the year started off right? Well, perhaps not exactly a union, in … Continue reading Look at that…Another Year

Reliably Unreliable

The following post originally appeared on the Guild of Dreams site a few years ago. The time which has passed doesn’t make any difference to the post…other than the fact that I didn’t exactly watch the top 10 video all that recently. Everything else still applies. Enjoy. —– Recently, I had a few extra minutes … Continue reading Reliably Unreliable

Out Now: Blood of the King

A kingdom torn by war. A curse whispered by dying lips. A hero born against his will. Khirro never wanted to be anything more than the farmer he was born to be, but a Shaman’s curse binds him to the fallen king and his life changes forever. Driven by the Shaman’s dying words, Khirro’s journey […]

Notes on a Silent Epidemic

So here’s a thing: my newest release happened yesterday. Conventional wisdom says I should be pushing that, but what kind of man would I be if my first post was about not being too writing/book centered on the blog, and then my next post was nothing but pimping a new book? Not much of a […]
