Judge Not or Judge Right—Oh, What a Question

The other day I ran across a statement that church-going people can be some of the most judgmental. Like that is breaking news. But OK, for extra credit I’ll note I can say the same about those frequenting your local neighborhood bars. Whether deciding what beer we like best or which beer drinker we rather […]

A Big Thank You to my Ghost Writer Beta Readers!

What have I been working on? While I wait for Beta reader comments to come in for Ghost Writer, I’ve been laboring away on Feral. That story has proven quite the bear to wrestle to the ground. Though I’m almost done with the first–and very rough–draft, I can tell I’m going to need some heavy […]

Beware the Power of Description — it can make or halt your story

Beware the power of description. It can make or halt your story. I often marvel, and even envy a little, those who can paint a scene with words. I also cringe at those who try and make my eyes haze over, forcing me to skip ahead as the only way to get through and on […]

Review: The Geneva Decision by Seely James

With The Geneva Decision by Seely James, I finally get to review a book in my beloved thriller genre. Though in spots I had some mixed feelings about the story, overall, the author delivers a story lovers of the genre will appreciate. At its heart, this story is also a mystery. Someone is killing people […]

Hopes, Dreams, and Hearts: Keep Them Flowing and Pumping

As a writer, I face no bigger struggle than that of keeping hope alive. Hope that I’ll get an agent, and that she’ll get me a publisher. Hope that I’ll see my book on someone’s bookshelf. Hope that if I self-publish someone will read my stuff, maybe even like it. I suppose most of us […]

To Change the World… Sacrifice

As a user and pusher of words, I notice things like, hey, that word doesn’t get much use, or, it gets used in a way that modifies or limits its meaning. One of those words that makes me scratch my head a little? Sacrifice. Today a certain prominent religion commemorates a famous—or infamous, depending on […]

Feral, Our Cyber World Beginnings, A Preview

For the past couple of weeks, I’ve mentioned that I’m working on Feral, a prequel to DEAD BEEF that sets up the Our Cyber World series.. Why am I writing this story? Well, to be totally honest I first got the idea when a literary agent tweeted that he’d love to get a story about […]
