Well, this was unexpected. My second book, Wicked Columbus, Indiana, which has been out 4-1/2 years now, ended up being the No. 6 best selling nonfiction book at Viewpoint Books in Columbus last year. It was No. 2 in 2017, also, but that was the year it was published, hence understandable. The last half of... Continue Reading →

But also because I’m publishing a book of his memoirs,... Continue Reading →

Author, journalist, sports writer, editor ... sure, all those titles I expected to have at one point in my... Continue Reading →
It's 2020, which is the year of perfect sight, hindsight and Barbara Walters. If you get all those references, you're cool. If not, looks like you've got some Internet searches to do. Raise your hand if you thought we'd have flying cars by now. Sorry, The Jetsons are post-apocalyptic, so you have to wait for... Continue Reading →

We checked out a few free museums. We walked around the curvy streets and found bookshops,... Continue Reading →
