First off, I hope everyone had a great New Year's Day! Ringing in 2021 brought an end to the nightmare we shared together in 2020. If you're here, congratulations on making it through. It was a tough year for many people, but I'm thankful for all of you for being on this journey with me. …

When the Dry Spell Breaks
The Middletown stories now in one handy edition on Amazon now! Greetings! In the time since we last spoke, there has been a ton of stuff happening. I've been very busy behind the scenes getting stuff out and even getting the next White Creek novel at home with the publisher. First off, I was part …
The Dead Still Speak
Work is wrapping up on Dragonflies. I've reached the last few thousand words and White Creek is in for a hell of an ending. Once I finish, it'll be put away for a couple of weeks and editing will begin after that. In the mean time, I want to announce the next project. I will …
Being a Plotter vs. Being a Pantster
I'm still not sure which one of these types I am when I write. Do I sit around and sketch out the plot of the book or story? Do I sit behind the PC and let the story flow organically from my brain? Can a person do a mix of the two and still be …

Our Gang of Four will be at …
Waiting for Things…
I'm horrible when it comes to patience. For example, when I was growing up, I always hunted for my Christmas presents in advance. I always found them and should have earned an Oscar nod for my 'surprised' performance as we sat around and opened them on Christmas Eve night. This is why I'm shocked I haven't …
2015 State of the Bookshelf Address
Hello readers, Today I come before you to discuss our year together for 2015. I've come before you in the past and I have brought good tidings and good news. I have typed. I have been accepted and I have been rejected (sometimes on the same day). Hear me, one thing has never changed and …
