Connecting by Fear of Loss

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 […]

The Cryometer

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 […]

Vegas Tales 2012

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 […]

YAPpers, MAPpers & LAPpers

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 […]

Daily Thoughts – Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, Off to Write I Go!

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, […]

A master or a slave? 16 Tons & what do you get?

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? […]

The Imperfect Human Family

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 […]

Author Groupies

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 […]

The Coffee is Talking

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 […]

The Man Club – January 2012 Edition

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 […]
