Maiden's Prayer Out of the Darkness
Another long-unavailable story I wrote years ago is now up for free at Wattpad. "Maiden's Prayer" was my first story featuring Terrence Bledsoe and/or Ella Dodge (the second story is available in Crime Factory: First Shift). I placed my Hollywood fix-it man story years ago (long before Ray Donovan) at the now-defunct Darkness Before the Dawn.Read it for free here.

So if you're a fan of those "men on a mission" movies they don't really make anymore, you need to check this one out.

What Cause Us The Most Trouble As Human Beings?
I think the thing that causes us the most trouble as human beings is our reluctance to deal with things simply as they are. Seriously. You name it. Whether it’s a situation or someone’s behavior or your relationship or your job or your living/work situation, chances are the thing that causes you the most grief comes down to not seeing it all clearly, as it is, simple and without judgment.
You know, all too often we want something a certain way when it’s just not that way, but we continue on as...
