Physics and Religion
Fiction is great. Fiction is wonderful. I love fiction, especially an edgy mix of horror, fantasy, and psychological tension. Nothing to my mind can beat it. However, no matter how wild the fiction is, there will be a point of tangency between the fictional world and reality. In order to…
Review Time
Well, not reviewed quite yet. Last week I posted to a writer’s group on LinkedIn and very shortly after got a reply from Agy Wilson (Literature Correspondent; Maine at Examiner.com) to read Any Tomorrow: The Calling, review it, and post about it. After I read her offer, it took me…
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.

Mourning the OED
It has finally happened. The last great bastion of the English language has sequestered itself into elitism. The Holy OED, the Oxford English Dictionary on-line, is now available only by paid subscription. What was the ideal reference for writers has lowered itself into the abyss of filthy lucre and restricted…
Working through Writer’s Block
Writer’s block. We all get it. Writer’s groups on-line are full of posts seeking the magic cure. There is only one cure for writer’s block ― to write. Wow, that seems counterintuitive. How can I write if I’m blocked? How about this… Let’s say you’re writing a novel and you…
The Location Worksheet
In an earlier post I discussed the Character Worksheet I used to keep track of all the characters mentioned in my Any Tomorrow Trilogy. The worksheet simply lists the name and a basic description of each character. This tool is very handy to make sure names aren’t too similar or…

This means that, besides being listed on the Smashwords website, it will be distributed to a range of other sellers also. The following schedule was provided for distribution. Channel Next…
