The Birth of Hope

For the past twelve months I have been providing small snippets of the background to my trilogy fantasy – The Chosen One of Allivar.  It is a mythology primarily concerned with family.  Not just an immediate family, but the human family.  This month we celebrate a day that many choose […]

The Morning After

Remember the song “There has to be a morning after..”  Well we have survived the Mayan apocalypse and here we stand the morning after.  Have we died and just don’t know it and now stand in the 15th age of Bottom Earth?  Will Gondeaf the Wizard arrive from the west […]

Naming Your Avatar

I have met some crazy and fun people following USA Today’s news and entertainment articles.  One who I shall keep anonymous, admits to constantly changing her Avatar, or avie as she calls it.  She shared a few of these with me from her Facebook account.  Above is one she named […]

Mon Mothball De Granny

Today, as usual I got side tracked on Facebook regarding a discussion on lady’s perfumes.  One of my new friends commented that she was an addict for perfume and she was getting some of the original Bill Blass.  From there it went downhill very quickly due to yours truly.  Soon […]

The Presence of Evil and the Absence of Goodness

We live in a period of history where belief in a benevolent creator is starting to fade.  Science, to some, has become the only solution to the questions.  We mourn this month the senseless attacks and killings of the very young and innocent, here in the USA and in China.  […]

Joy to the World – My Grandson has Come

Loyal readers, I will be taking a few days off to enjoy one of life’s greatest moments. The miracle of life and birth. Having a grandchild for the first time is a joyous occasion.  There is much celebrating to do.  Having your son produce a son is even more special.  […]

Tax Poetry

I have the AICPA (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) as one of the “likes” on my Facebook account.  Today there was this quote: “Now and then it’s good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.” – Guillaume Apollinaire, French writer, poet & critic. My reply […]

What I Love About My Story (Trilogy)

I saw this blog post title (What I love About My Story) and decided it should be one of mine.  To keep it simple I will just give bullet points: It has action.  Action that increases tenfold with each book. It has characters I love and I characters I hate. […]
