The convention returns to Louisville for its sixth year Oct. 11-13 at the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Conference Center. It was recognized in 2019 as Kentucky’s No. 1 writers event (and the second best in the Southeast USA) by The Writer... Continue Reading →

A new chapter in my career
So here's a bit of a major announcement regarding my career. After 34 years in journalism, including nearly 20 at my present company, I've decided to give full-time attention to being an author. My last day with a full-time day job will be Sept. 27. I've wanted to make this move for years ... ever since... Continue Reading →
We’re No. 1! – BOTH of us
So, my wife and I made history (probably) today. We both sit atop our respective categories on our local bookstore's bestseller list. Not sure if any husband/wife team has ever done that. But if they did, then we tied them. So below is the proof (scroll down to the red text). If you want to... Continue Reading →
We’re both bestsellers!
Hey! My wife and I are on the local bookstore's bestseller list for the week. That hasn't happened for a while. Kimberly S.

Helping celebrate a birthday
Kimberly S. Hoffman and I conducted a book signing to help Wild Geese Bookshop celebrate its second birthday on Saturday, Nov. 3. There were cupcakes, balloons, a food truck and lots of books. We enjoyed it immensely. The event coincided with the Downtown Franklin Holiday Open House. So there were people everywhere ... I mean everywhere!

This convention focuses on writing, gaming, film making and other arts. There are panels, workshops, authors selling books, locally made movies to screen, games to play, an awards...

Podcasts aplenty
The headline says "aplenty." Maybe two isn't really "aplenty," but considering the podcast interviews I did came less than two weeks apart, and I'd only done one prior to that, I think "aplenty" works just fine. My wife, Kimberly S. Hoffman, and I were interviewed by Johnny Lyles and David Banks for Brother Brother Beer... Continue Reading →
