Why is it there are multiple aisles in Barnes & Noble for young adult paranormal stories? I call this group YAPper’s, not to be confused with annoying Pomeranians and Poodles. Don’t get me wrong, I applaud all YA authors and their followers, but I’m feeling a little discriminated. I’m in […]

As I have already written, I am a nerd and a writer. For the most part, my writing is of high values and exciting adventure. It is my escapism from the realities of life. So if a blog is supposed to give you an insight into the author’s mind, sorry, […]
Most of you are not old enough to know the song “16 Tons” by Tennessee Ernie Ford. “St. Peter don’t you call me because I can’t go, I owe my soul to the company store.” I am a CPA and PFS. Do you know what these designations are and mean? […]
My trilogy has one overriding theme – family. Not the average family with 2.3 children but the human family. Some insist my story is a Christian story, which I vehemently argue against. Even a Christian friend stated the story is very “unchristian” like. I had one YouTube comment which stated […]
Do authors have groupies? I’d like to know so I can hire my security team in advance. I was commenting on Facebook with a friend who is a musician. We discussed who in the band gets rushed first. Well, it’s always the lead singer with the torn pants. He always […]

To be equal to my male friends, I have decided to write about the ultra complexity of the male mind. I do this to share with my female readers so that they can update their female code to UOS version 12764589.21 and sync with the man club code, which is […]
I joke all the time with my Facebook female friends about the man club and its code. Amazingly, they are very witty and banter back with me very successfully. So successful are they, that their husbands do not come to my defense. Is this cowardice or just wisdom on their […]
If you are a parent, you undoubtedly recall talking to one of your children and he or she wasn’t responding as you wished so you asked “Did you hear me? Are you in another world?” The answer for me when I was a child, in a Robert DeNiro tone, was […]
One thing for certain, being a fiction author is a much different world than being a CPA and investment advisor. The professional world has overlord oversight, suffocating compliance dungeons, and little creativity (well unless prison is your thing). Writing provides me the necessary escapism from this drudgery. Don’t get me […]
