Book Review: Dead Reckoning by K.A. Perkins

I believe this is the last of the books that I reviewed back in the day without posting on here (for reasons unknown). Do you like pirates?  Who doesn’t, am I right?  So, when Karen came to me asking if I’d be willing to read her book, I have to …

Fat Mogul vs. Dystopia

Hey, did you know that young adult dystopian novels are all the rage right now? Of course you did…how could you miss it, what with The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner, Divergent, and a whole host of other recently published books for those younger folks coming out on the big …

Fat Mogul vs. A Day Off

Hey folks, I have absolutely nothing to ramble about today…which is an interesting concept, considering I generally ramble on about nothing anyways… However, I’ve decided to make today one of those days I take off. But, since you’re all here, and whatever else… I’ll give you a glimpse into a …

Fat Mogul vs. Waking to Reality

This weekend found me taking a nap with my two year old son.  He’s been exhausted lately, and I’ve found that he sleeps much better when he’s got someone near him.  In fact, although he woke up several times throughout the course of the nap, meaning I didn’t get so …

Fat Mogul vs. Vacation Planning

WARNING: This post is filled with absolute nonsense, not to be taken too seriously, and rather stupid.  I’d suggest not reading it. So…it’s official…the Osters are going to Disney World (yeah..I know…again…).  Only problem is…we ain’t going until next January. Yep, that’s right, in a completely unlike us sort of …

Fat Mogul vs. Book Releases (no official announcement within)

Hey kids, just like yesterday…if you follow me on facebook…yeah, I know…boring stuff, right.  Who reads this and actually doesn’t follow me on facebook? Anyways, you might have noticed that yesterday marked the completion of the first draft of The Long Chron, a sci-fi/fantasy tale about two con artists who …

Fat Mogul vs. The Endgame

If you follow me on Facebook (I’m starting to think I should keep track of how many of my posts begin with that exact phrase), you might have noticed a statement yesterday about how I believe there’s a good chance that I will finish the first draft of the novel …

Fat Mogul vs. Diaries

A conversation with a friend last week about the blog I maintain here, led to a minor amount of discussion about its theme, which my conversation partner labeled as diary of an author.  He may…or may not…have been doing so in a negative light…I’m really not concerned either way. However, …

MY WRITING PROCESS: BLOG HOP EDITION

April 21, 2014 edition The irascible Ken Mooney (I really don’t have any reason to believe he’s irascible…just felt like using the adjective) placed my name at the end of this writer’s version of a chain letter and told me that if I didn’t pass it on, I would be …

High School Relationships – Grown-up version

It’s been a while since I’ve made any of these comparisons, but that’s probably because I’ve been hiding from the grown up social scene for quite some time.  All the same, something happened on Monday that has been bobbing around in my head ever since…and, well, it makes me feel …
