How Grandma Eleanor Blessed Me
Most folks who lose a loved one struggle to share their thoughts. In the midst of sorrow, self-reflection often trumps self-expression. In my case, I have no choice. When asked to stop preaching about Jesus, Peter said he couldn’t stop speaking about the things he had seen and heard. When it comes to Grandma’s role […]

#SaturdayScenes: Decisive Moment, The Sniper-Photographer
Once you dive headlong into photography and practice it without pause for a while, you start seeing and observing the world differently. Things your mind would filter out or ignore as noise pop into view. Because that’s a big part of photography, seeing what others miss, noticing the little things, the possibilities. Things that don’t […]

What Do Tracking Jane and #NaNoWriMo Have in Common?
For the last two years I’ve skipped NaNoWriMo. It’s not because I’m opposed to having a National November Writing Month, and certainly I don’t disdain writing fifty thousand words in thirty days. It’s just a matter that I write at my own pace, and if I happen to be editing in November, or if I […]

#SaturdayScenes: Missing Shadow, a Tracking Jane Short Story
What’s worst? A gal that walks ungainly and unsteady on prosthetic legs, or a dog that can’t track reliably? Hard to answer. As I lean down to get a sense of whether my dog, Shady, stands ready to take on her assignment, the undercover police officers behind me are wondering, too. “Are we good?” one […]

Tracking Jane, Episodes 6 & 7 Cover Reveals
Now that Heart Track is in the hands of Beta readers, as I prepare for its release, I thought I’d take a final go at its book cover. If that weren’t enough, I’ve also started to write the followup episode, tentatively titled Wounded Honor. I have candidate covers for that story, too, so I thought, […]

Poll Update: Tracking Jane vs. Our Cyber World
A couple of weeks ago, I posted a poll asking for your preferences between the two series I am writing. I wanted to give you an update on the results so far: In case you haven’t voted yet, before I close this poll, I wanted to give you a chance to let me know what […]

What Faulty Plumbing Might Teach Us About Immigration
You just returned from a two week vacation. As soon as you enter your house, your feet slosh-splash into two inches of water. Oh, no! Your plumbing has sprung a leak! What is the first thing you do (after the weeping and gnashing of teeth)? Spend months (maybe longer, to get it right!) designing better […]

#SaturdayScenes: King’s Sacrifice, part 1
Bogdan Mendez seldom raised his eyes from the chessboard. But he did now when he saw her step out and prop herself against the broad trunk of a nearby leafless tree. What did she want with him? It had been, what? Ten, twelve years? Bogdan shrugged. The boy across from him didn’t notice. Eyes fixed […]

#SaturdayScenes: Decisive Moment, The Wedding Photographer
When I tell people—even photographers—that I do weddings, I often get looks and reactions suggesting I’m in need of an emergency brain transplant. That in and of itself stands as acknowledgement of how challenging and—in some ways—undesirable taking on a wedding can be. All the more reason why I scratch my head as to how […]
