Politics, religion, eating, dancing and drinking at Heidi’s Jazz Club — What a night!
So, I’m sitting in my office listening to Warren Zevon sing ‘Carmelita’ on Spotify, and thinking about a conversation from Wednesday night. I took my wife to Heidi’s Jazz Club in Cocoa Beach to celebrate her birthday, and we met some friends there — Janet and Phil, and Ted. In…
The Dark Tower, Stephen King’s magnum opus, has fallen!
Note: This post contains spoilers. If you haven’t seen The Dark Tower, you may want to keep reading. The Dark Tower series has been hailed as Stephen King’s magnum opus. It is the brilliantly written story of the last gunslinger, Roland Deschain, and his quest for the Dark Tower, the…
Stop it Netflix, you’re killing me!
You know, sometimes I get a little nostalgic for the days with only three or four channels on TV. There wasn’t any recording or streaming. If you didn’t like what was offered, the TV went off. But what did that leave you with? Reading, board games, or your imagination. No,…
Our Dystopian Future is Now
Back in 2011 when I first published Any Tomorrow I was concerned that the publishing environment wasn’t right for a dystopian epic, even if in the end, there was a glimmer of hope for mankind. For many of us, hope was in the air and there seemed at least the…

What’s your favorite quote about writing?
One of my favorite quotes about writing is from that poet/songwriter/singer, Tom T. Hall in his classic ‘She Gave Her Heart To Jethro‘: A man’s not writing if he can’t relate, All the things that he sees in his life The sentiment is simple and direct, but it encompasses the essence…
Any Tomorrow Complete Lives!
My first series, compiled in a single e-volume, Any Tomorrow Complete, is selling again! That makes me feel good. It might not make me a millionaire (and from what I’ve seen of millionaires I’m not sure I’d even want to go there), but I’m stoked that a few valiant souls…
