Well? 2026 didn’t start the way I hoped. I was hoping to have the manuscript for Yank in editing by now. Still writing. I hoped to have my new website up and running by now. Still waiting. However, now that 2026 is here, I’m running on all cylinders. The book is coming along nicely. The […]

Merry Christmas everyone. Tiz the season for many celebratory things. Like finally combining 14 different dog treats on top of the fridge into one bag . And getting ready to host or visit family and reunite over distance and time. It’s a time to be thankful for what we have and a time to look […]

Deadlines are something you should strive to achieve. And I do. I just haven’t hit one yet when it comes to writing. My goal/deadline for completing my current book manuscript was around January 1st. Which, when I drew the line in the mud, (We don’t have any snow right now and it’s been raining.) my […]

Here’s to hoping everyone had a fun and blessed Thanksgiving. Our Thanksgiving is happening today, only because this is the one day the whole family can get together. Although we are retired, the rest of the family isn’t. Turkey goes in the smoker between noon and 1. Dinner is around six. Don’t worry, I’ve done […]

Last week I missed getting this post out. Whatever conspired to keep me from my computer is irrelevant. The fact is, i didn’t get it done and that’s on me. In my family are many veterans. All served, whether deployed or not. I have known WWII, Korean war, Vietnam conflict and Gulf war Veterans. I […]

The craft show at Central Valley High School was fun and a big success. I got to see some old friends and made some new friends. It’s always nice to meet new people. My next outing will be in Liberty Lake at Ridgeline High School on December 6 and 7. It will be the last […]

Finally got the garlic in the ground. We were two weeks late, but to quote one of my favorite You Tubers “It’ll be fine”. Next year we should have more garlic than we can shake a Vampire at. Just a reminder for all of you wonderful subscribers, I will be at Central Valley High School […]

You might be wondering why I put writing prompts in my blogs. Well, many of my short stories came from prompts like the ones I give you. If you have read Boxers or Briefs a book of Shorts, there are stories in there that came from random prompts. Daryl DeVille Spy was one of them. […]

Today, Caroline’s Secret hits the shelves, both in paperback and kindle. This’ brings to five books to choose from in my collection. I am hoping to release three more next year. However, my deadline predictions suck, so we’ll leave it at something, sometime next year. Update on Yank. He made it back to England. For […]

It is finally happening. The corrections are made, the final edit is on Friday. Caroline will be uploaded Friday evening and available for purchase by Monday. I am getting better. I only missed my self imposed deadline by a month this time. Also, writing the book start to finish in less than a year was […]

To all of you out there waiting anxiously for my next book, which I hoped would be out by now, I am getting ever closer. The editing is almost done, the cover is almost done, so the book should be almost done. Right? That’s the theory anyway. I’ve never made a self imposed deadline yet. […]

Skipping ahead just a bit. In this, the month of August 2025, I hope to be publishing my fifth book. “Caroline’s Secret”. Started in December of 2024 it temporarily took the place of Yank, my current book at the time. Yank is the third book in “The Haggenville Chronicles” series. The reason I set Yank […]

In the beginning, there was a stick and sand. Then came clay tablets and cuneiform. After that it was papyrus reed paper and a quill, the printing press, Xerox copiers and finally, the Blog. Welcome to my clay tablet (I decided I was a little more advanced than a cave man, depending on who you […]

They say that facing your fears is doing the thing you fear…safely of coarse. For me, when it comes to posting on social media, I’m jumping into deep water but I don’t know how to swim. Here’s to holding my breath and hoping the water’s not too cold. I’m an author. I don’t write books, […]
