I have a deep respect for young people and a passion to encourage them in any way I can.

Having watched my grandsons in their struggles, several without fathers in the home to guide them, I feel a need to reach out to them. Of course a hug, a smile and loving concern is the best way, but I also wanted to give them a connection to what helped me as a child their age. A story.

The transition from youthful innocence into adulthood can be rocky- that turbulent...

Dianne Gardner- Author

I would like to introduce my friend and colleague, author Dianne Lynn Gardner. She is not only an author but an illustrator and fine artist. I wanted her to tell you a little about her book, Dragon Shield. I am always fascinated to learn from other writers and I thoroughly enjoy being supportive in their work. Our readers are very important to us and we appreciate the support you show them by buying their books and posting a review. So now again here is Dianne Gardner.

30 Cubed – The Biologist

Originally posted on Victoria Adams' Reading Alcove:

Adrianne’s eyes were burning. The light from the monitor illuminated her face, but not much else. Not many could tolerate long hours staring at the screen without light from somewhere else. This, however, is how she preferred it. Her focus was unbreakable; at least until the 9

Adrianne, Dr. Franklin, was part of the Biological SETI team. Sometimes barely recognized and sometime...

So, I’ve managed to get myself into a writing exercise for the month of May. Coming out of a really tough accounting season, it is time to stretch my wings and get back in the habit of communication words instead of numbers. There are few rules, speculative fiction (something that is new for me), 30 stories in 30 days based on 30 different characters. Yes, I know, we’ll call this writing boot camp! In...

Mitreo conservato sotto la basilica di S. Clemente, a Roma.

I luoghi dedicati al culto di Mitra (i cosiddetti «mitrei») oggi conosciuti sono più di duecento, un dato riconducibile all’enorme diffusione che questo culto ebbe nella parte occidentale dell’Impero romano, ma anche al fatto che i mitrei sono facilmente identificabili grazie alla loro peculiare architettura:...

The History of Writing Instruments (Pt. I)

Originally posted on "Not Yet Published":

…or “the devolution of the pen from the quill to gel”, as suggested by one of my readers.

The ability to read and write has always been one of mankind’s greatest achievements. Reading and writing allowed for the recording, protection and spread of ideas, information and new discoveries. But we would never have been able to read about all these great inventions, discoveries and ideas if someone hadn’t first discovered how to write them down. So, what we...

Law and Order in the Old West

Originally posted on Merry Farmer:

A big deal is made in any examination of the Old West of law and order. It’s hard to think about any Old West set-up without thinking about the sheriff…and outlaws. Whether he’s the white hat-wearing hero of the day or the crooked, corrupt misery in people’s lives, the lawman is a key western figure.

This holds true for the town of Cold Springs, Montana, where my Montana Romance series takes place. If you’ve ready any of the books, you know that the good folk...

Yesterday’s post stirred quite the debate and flurry of panic attacks, so today, we will delve a bit further into Le Mystique of Le Flashback. First of all, for future reference, I need to ignore all Facebook comments that begin with, “I haven’t read your post, but completely disagree…” Er? Ok. Here’s the thing. I play dictator on my blog, because it’s my blog and it’s FUN.

I’m a realist and I KNOW there is som...
