I wrote another short story. Because it was an "assignment" with my writers club. And I had a deadline. And I didn't want to disappoint. Louise Hillery, who founded the Scibblers Writing Club some odd few years back, is really good at coming up with exercises for us to work on. A month ago, she... Continue Reading →
March 30, 2021 – I just finished spreading powdered cinnamon in my yard for the fourth straight day. That’s supposed to be one of the more humane ways to get ground bees to stop making nests in your ground and going elsewhere. They’re not supposed to like cinnamon. Mr. Ground Bee, you are a pesky...

March 3, 2021 – I wrote something! I wrote something! Hot damn, I finally wrote something! It’s been ages. In the interest of full disclosure, I have written things in recent months.

December 6, 2020 – Hey! While most of my work world lately has been focused on getting other writers’ books published, I did take some time out to focus on a bit of author work again. The big thing that both my wife and I did along these lines in the past few weeks was... Continue Reading →
The term "my books" now includes not only those I've written, but those I've published for other authors. The number of "my books" that other authors have written surpassed the total of "my books" that I have written early last month.

October 1, 2020 – Hey there. I’ve been eating a lot of bacon and eggs lately, which is something I knew you'd be interested in knowing. Bacon on the side of the eggs.
