The Amity is now back from review by my editor, the indomitable J.P. Hansen. He is coaching me to make every word shine, to cut out the extraneous and to polish the MS in a way which makes for a good read. Much has been written about how “Indies” are somehow less than professional, that …

As I sit among the boxes filled with my possessions in my new condo, it occurred to me that it has been some time since life has allowed me the luxury to post on this blog. Our forty-first anniversary happened the long weekend in September, and I admit honestly, it hit me like a fist …

I love a good storm, whether I’m sitting in the comfort and safety of my home (sometimes with spirits) while the thunder booms and the lightning flashes through the window pane, or reading about one in a good book. It’s invigorating. There is something about the noise and light and power that mesmerizes. After a …

Today is a hazy July day, the temperature is perfectly comfortable, and there is a slight zephyr of breeze to assist the butterflies as they go about their business among the brightly colored flowers. No matter how busy life becomes, sometime I must remind myself to stop and smell the flowers, or at least take a moment …

Boy, what a long title! Truthfully, I had no idea how to title this post. What I am trying to do is to introduce the icon for my new trilogy, Genetrix. You can find it on the Genetrix page and because I like it, on the home page. There is a benefit to having a …
