Say what you want in the way that you choose
I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately, being able to say what I want in the way that I choose. If you follow the news at all, you are probably aware that in many places in the world stating an opinion, writing about certain things, or acting in a…
Racing
This past weekend my wife and I drove to Northern Virginia and back, approximately 1600 miles round trip. Up on Friday, back on Sunday. It was worth it. We got to see our granddaughter’s first ballet recital. Maybe it was a little crazy, but when families are geographically separated, that’s…
Bible Study
As I sit here contemplating the weekly Bible study I attend with my wife, I can’t help but think the role that religion plays in my writing. I don’t intentionally write about religion, either the institution or the activity, but it always seems to be there somewhere. Religion in some…
I’ve published my e-book, now what?
Okay, so my first eBook, Any Tomorrow: The Calling, is available from the major eBook distributors, including http://www.amazon.com/, http://www.barnesandnoble.com/, http://www.diesel-ebooks.com/, and http://www.smashwords.com/.

A quick word about grammar and punctuation
Grammar and punctuation, that’s right, the subjects that caused so many sleepless nights in grammar school (elementary school). Grammar and punctuation with all those nit-picky rules about clauses, apostrophes, colons, periods, semicolons, tenses, etcetera, etcetera, ad infinitum. No, I’m not going into all that. Let if suffice to say that…
Tell me about it!
Now that Any Tomorrow: The Calling is available at the major eBook distributors (Amazon, Diesel, Barnes and Nobel, Smashwords) and a few intrepid folks have downloaded copies of it, I thought I’d provide a place on the blog for readers to provide feedback about the book. The Review, Critique, Suggest…
