When writing my trilogy, I wanted to surpass most of the battle scenes ever written or produced on screen. I wanted to leave a reader emotionally drained. Why? Because when we are drained of the interference of our emotions, then and only then can we see clearly. Why is it […]
After people read my trilogy “The Chosen One of Allivar” I ask them a very simple question. How many times did you cry? I ask this for a very simple reason which is to determine if I connected with their two basic emotions – joy and sadness. To give you […]
Even before I could get to Las Vegas for my CPA conference, I received a Tweet to visit one of Vegas’ finest “Gentlemen’s” clubs. I won’t say which one because I am sure they have an employee named “Guido.” Sorry, my days of being a “gentleman” ended with a tale […]
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 […]

I am a nerd. I freely admit it. I have forewarned you. I love goofiness and writing about it. The Lord of the Rings is my favorite story of all time, but I have a complete blast thinking of parodies. I owe this to Monty Python’s Flying Circus and the […]
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 […]
