Dad’s Book is Out! Dad’s Book is Out!
Finally, the news you all have been waiting for! Well, at least the news I've been champing at the bit to tell you (yes, "champing" is the right word, believe it or not). But I digress. Dad's book is now a reality. Well, okay, it's been a reality for him for a bit now. But... Continue Reading →
A new direction? Or just another role?
I've been doing this publishing thing for just over a week now, and already it's led to some opportunities I hadn't expected. On March 30, I published a book of memoirs, essays and song lyrics by a longtime musician with my 18% Gray Publishing arm of creative genius. "Shut Up and Listen: Me vs. Me:... Continue Reading →
I’m a Publisher, and I’m OK
You can go ahead and add the title of "publisher" to my resume. Not that I update my resume anymore. Just sayin'. It's a title I didn't think I'd ever have, mush less aspire to have. Author, journalist, sports writer, editor ... sure, all those titles I expected to have at one point in my... Continue Reading →

Feb. 2020 newsletter: Subscribe, survive, thrive, and (podcast) drive
Feb. 9, 2020 Howdy, folks. It has come to my attention that there is no subscribe button on my home page. I wondered how this could be as the number of followers this site has is into triple digits. How did 100-plus people subscribe to this site if there is no subscribe button? Well, as... 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 →
A bevy of Wisconsin writers
I had a blast at the Meet the Author event at the Brookfield (Wis.) Public Library on Saturday, October 28. The event was a fundraiser for the Friends of the Brookfield Public Library. I got to meet up with former fellow co-workers in the journalism business who have gotten into the author thing, too. I... Continue Reading →
Three Months in Dublin
Having spent some time in Scotland and Ireland this summer (my first time in both countries), I was inspired to start writing a novel based in one of those countries. I chose Ireland, specifically the country's capital and largest city of Dublin, as the setting. Edinburgh, you were awfully close! Hmm ... may have to... Continue Reading →
We’re looking at March
The History Press, my publisher, is going through the first edits on "Wicked Columbus Indiana," my second book. We will go through two edits apiece before the book gets published. Seems like this is about a six-week process, so we should be out early March I'd imagine. We will keep everyone up to date and... Continue Reading →
