So, as I near the completion of my new novel, I’ve been investing much time lately in that most unfortunate of necessities that every self-respecting self-publishing author must invest in – marketing research. Yeah… Marketing is something of which I detest greatly and something at which I fail miserably. Fortunately for me, however, in my… Continue reading David Gaughran →

It’s Deja Vu All Over Again: TREE OF SMOKE by Denis Johnson, a Review (of sorts)

Leave Is In The Can!

Poor me, right, when there’s somewhere around 500,000 Syrians dead and over 10,000,000 displaced. Poor me, indeed. But since all pain is relative, all I can do […]

The Draught of Naught Troubling

More good stuff from my sons Willis’ and Bobi’s band Aelios* in the form of a music video of their latest release. You should be able to tell who my sons are because you should be able to tell who the blood brothers are in the video. The third member, Colin Bates, while not a […]

Love is the answer?

There’s a rather talkative pigheaded brute of a character in my WIP whose name is Rick, Happy, Henderson. Happy loves to philosophize and pontificate to…at?… his work partner about whatever the latest topic is he’s studying during night school as if he’s now a subject matter expert.
