One Moment, Two Different Entities, Suddenly They Merge

Two different entities, that is how fiction and non-fiction have seemed to me. Ever since I began to write fiction, I have spoken and written frequently about how wholly different is that process from non-fiction. Until this week when suddenly I realized how wrong I’ve been. Maybe you’ve never spent much time pondering this subject. […]

Darkest Hour-Movie, Author Interview

  Author interviews, why do them? I read they are an excellent marketing tool for authors who sell less than hundreds of thousands of their books. Like me. This latest one had some unusual questions, consequently, replying to them was an intriguing exercise for me. More on that in a few minutes. First, the latest […]

Princess Cruise, Being Home and Another Character Interview

  This post is more like a newsletter: three brief pieces on our princess cruise, the joy of being back home and another character interview. Our last stop on the cruise was Lahaina, Maui is quaint, quiet, beautiful. At least until the tourists on the cruise ships wake up and crowd the small town. Since […]

The Wise Men

  The wise men. Each year I think of them. These unnamed men who somehow journeyed to a manger in Bethlehem perhaps many thousands of miles from their homes. Where an infant lay amidst straw. Accompanied by, we are told, a number of animals. Maybe donkeys, a lamb or two, some cattle and shepherds. In […]

Solitude: As Critical As Food

Solitude. To some, the word means loneliness, a desperate and solitary state. To others, withdrawing from crowds, conversation and activity can feel as necessary as food. While searching for an image that conveys my current understanding of the concept of solitude, it seemed  the majority of them depicted miserably lonely men and women. While just […]

Malthus Revisited

Here is the final teaser for Malthus Revisited, now available for purchase at Amazon and edited by Laura, my new editor and writing partner: Eighteen-year-old Morgan Gardner did not seem like someone who could save the world—unless you took the time to notice her eyes. And most people didn’t. Morgan’s exceptional gifts were known only […]

Change, Ecclesiastes, Riverbend Church and Matthew McConaughey

The correlation between change and Ecclesiastes is not an association I ever made.   But then I’ve not considered the words in the third chapter of Ecclesiastes in any other than a superficial way: To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time […]

Murder On the Orient Express-Kenneth Branagh and Patrick Doyle’s Masterpiece

  A masterpiece by Kenneth Branagh and Patrick Doyle is a redundant statement. Since their first and brilliant 1989 film, Henry V, I have been an enthusiastic, even rabid fan of these two men. The film was based on Shakespeare’s play about the young English king, Henry V’s miraculous win at the battle of Agincourt. […]

The 4th in Lindsey McCall Medical Mystery Series

I’d planned a November release for the 4th book in the Lindsey McCall Medical Mystery series. But it will be December before Malthus Revisited: The Cup of Wrath is published. One of the promises I made myself while writing this book was a refusal to rush it. If that meant not meeting the deadline, so […]

The Most Interesting Author Interview I’ve Ever Done

This author interview from a reviewer at Feathered Quill Book Reviews is one of the most interesting I’ve ever done. Anita Lock reviewed my book, Finding the Narrow Path and assembled a set of intriguing questions, so much so that I thought you might enjoy reading her rather provocative questions along with my replies. But […]
