Craig Allen Heath decided he wanted to be a novelist at age fourteen. He achieved that goal fifty years later by publishing his first novel, Where You Will Die, in 2022.

​In those five decades he wrote hundreds of poems, songs, stories, essays, articles, plays, and scripts. The published portion of that catalog earned him the equivalent of a long weekend’s lodging at a Comfort Inn somewhere along Interstate 5 in California’s Central Valley.

​He made his living during that time as a journalist, teacher, and technical writer. This portion of his output kept body and soul together, making him a decent prospect to marry, raise a son, see a bit of the world, and have enough left over to buy that comfy recliner his teenaged self never thought he

Heart on a Tightrope

I'm up on the tight rope
One side's hate and one is hope
But the top-hat on my head is all you see

- Leon Russel, “Tight Rope”

In my review of Flickering Heart, the first book in Tricia LaRochelle’s Sarah Browne series, I praised the way the author dealt with how our troubled thoughts and feelings defeat our best impulses. In that story, both Sarah and Scott struggle to become vulnerable to each other Read more of this blog post »

Where You Will Die by Craig Allen Heath
"DNF. Too slow for my liking, 10% in and nothing really happening, I didn’t really care how it ended. Dead body found, no real panic and it didn’t seem like a big deal to find out who the killer was. At least not how I took it. 🤷🏻‍♀️"

“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.”
Marcus Aurelius , Meditations

Morihei Ueshiba
“The purpose of training is to tighten up the slack, toughen the body, and polish the spirit.”
Morihei Ueshiba, The Art of Peace

Stephen Colbert
“Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying “yes” begins things. Saying “yes” is how things grow. Saying “yes” leads to knowledge. “Yes” is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say “yes'.”
Stephen Colbert

Louise Penny
“There are four things that lead to wisdom. You ready for them?'
She nodded, wondering when the police work would begin.
"They are four sentences we learn to say, and mean." Gamache held up his hand as a fist and raised a finger with each point. "I don't know. I need help. I'm sorry. I was wrong'.”
Louise Penny, Still Life

Stephen        King
“If you expect to succeed as a writer, rudeness should be the second-to-least of your concerns. The least of all should be polite society and what it expects. If you intend to write as truthfully as you can, your days as a member of polite society are numbered, anyway.”
Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
