Mr. Factor Goes To Washington

[image error]

Yes, I spent much of this past week in our nations capitol. And I had some thoughts. Some I will document here and others that will never see the light of day.

Two little known facts: that building over my right shoulder is The White House. Most people think The Capitol Building, the one with the big gold dome, is The White House. The White House is where the President lives and works. Talk about a crappy job deal. When I’m elected President, or Sexiest Man Alive, whichever comes first, I wi...

TBT! My Text Fight With Donald Trump

[image error]

(12/17/16) Me and the Donald are going to have words. Well, maybe not words. Maybe just text abbreviations and emojis. In 2006, Congress passed the Warning, Alert, and Network Response act which allows every cell phone in the United States to get a text message warning of one of three types: A) Amber alerts when a child is missing and/or presumed kidnapped, B) Alerts involving imminent threats to safety or life. or C) Alerts issued by the President.

Yes, that’s right. The man who once tweete...

A Very Brief History Of Time Travel by Steve McSteveface

Thank you to my friend Steve McSteveface for including my book in his review of time travel movies and shows!

Steve McSteveface

I’ve always been a huge fan of time travel!

Obviously not in the same way as Professor Stephen Hawking is a fan since I’m not interested in proving that it’s possible I’m interested in watching TV shows and movies about where it is possible.

Movies such as Back To The Future, The Terminator and Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure I’ve watched countless times.

The fact t...

Wordless Wednesday

A naked man, a woman with a torch and a Cub Scout. This is a sculpture in Washington D.C. I have no idea what it means. Have a great Wednesday! ~Phil

10. Ridiculous Holiday Light Displays: That’s not my house but I wish it was. I love people that take the decorating and lights waaaay too far. I wish we could do it all year long. If there’s a neighborhood that decorates all year long, let me know. I’ll move there.

9. Getting presents: Well duh! Free stuff that we didn’t know we needed or wanted? Yes...

THE TOP 5 DANGERS OF BEING A WRITER by Allie Potts

1. Government Watch Lists: The Watch & Wand is set in a post-apocalyptic world where all but the most basic technology is outlawed. As a result, my search history includes all sorts of doomsday prepper supplies and survivalist techniques. Combined with the fact that I also write mysteries which require me to research various ways to kill people off while making it appear as a natural occurrence, it is a wonder I haven’t already had a visit b...

Was It Really A Wonderful Life? 10 Things George Bailey Should Have Done Differently

[image error]

I wonder if Kanye is on to something? Is it possible that the quintessential, iconic Christmas movie It’s a Wonderful Life could have, should have been better? I say yes, and here are ten things George would have done if he were a morally questionable protagonist.

10. George should have punched Sam Wainwright: The first time that dolt popped up and said “Hee haw!” George should have punched him in the throat. Then he should have done it every other time until Sam learned to shut the hell up....

Thank You and a Question

I sincerely want to thank all of you who voted for my book, Time To Lie, in the AllAuthor.com November Cover of the Month contest. I didn’t win, but I did very well thanks to all your support.

Here’s my question: I’m looking to boost sales of my book with some kind of giveaway. I’m willing to offer a prize of an Amazon gift card or cards, there could be multiple winners. Does anyone have any clever ideas how I could connect those two things?

Have a great Friday! ~Phil
