Ideas for Blog Posts

Some days I can write enough blog posts to cover a week. My wife then edits them the best she can and schedules them for posting, unless I specify otherwise. But, how do I come up with my ideas? It’s not that hard really; I love to talk about many […]

F is for Fear by Force

Today’s A to Z writing challenge is “F” for Fear by Force. In my trilogy, “The Chosen One of Allivar”, force has many definitions, but the following are the ones I concentrated on when writing: 1. physical power or strength possessed by a living being. 2. strength or power exerted […]

G is for Gregoron

In my A to Z writing challenge, today I tackle the letter G for Gregoron. The Gregoron is a combination of two beings in the world of religion and mythology. The Gorgon is from Greek mythology where this female demon turns living creatures to stone with a gaze into her […]

L is for Love

Today’s A to Z writing challenge is the letter “L” for love. As I near the age of 53, my view of the world is different than it was at age 21. In my 20’s, my type of books or movies would consist of action and science fiction. I was […]

Hydrocarbon the Villain

As you may recall, I am a big fan of Monty Python. One of their movies, “The Life of Brian” has a scene called “What have the Romans done for us?” You can watch it here first before reading on. [youtube=http://youtu.be/ExWfh6sGyso] So now that you have perspective, lets talk about […]

Squirrel APB’s

I joke endlessly about the squirrel I actually killed while playing golf. It’s how I deal with the tragedy. Squirrels are amazing rodents. They taunt and haunt me. Many years ago while living near Dallas, TX a band of squirrels found a way into the eaves of the house and […]

E is for Evil

Today’s A to Z writing challenge is the letter “E” which is for Evil. Evil means something different to just about everyone you discuss it with. For some it has a religious meaning, for others it does not. Now my grammar is horrible, so I researched the definition of evil […]

Defining Epic

A fellow author asked me via Twitter what made my trilogy epic. For a moment I paused. Did I truly understand the meaning of “epic”? I was inspired by “The Lord of the Rings”, “The Silmarillion” and “Paradise Lost”, which are all referred to as literary epics. But did I […]

F is for Flammable

To continue on with my A to Z blog writing challenge, we cover the letter “F”. “F” is for flammable. I was once a young budding rocket scientist testing out the explosive capabilities of various household fluids. For many guys, there is just something about the allure of watching something […]
