So, it's been months since I posted. I'd like to say I was backpacking or researching or been hammering out novels one after another. No, I've just been living life and getting caught up with it at every turn. And who wakes up and stretches their arms out all refreshed?! I'm more like this kid: … Continue reading Back From Hibernation

Re-Animation
Well, I must say, 2015 was quite a year. Released a book in the first month, coached softball (a lot), participated in my first signing event, went to my first book fair... THEN, I became totally immersed in trying to figure out what I need to do. I'm sure each and every author taking the … Continue reading Re-Animation

What Am I Doing?
Over the summer, I have been attempting to find my way (author-wise) and in the midst of doing so I realized something. I can be better. Falling back on the notion of "why does nobody like my book?" first has me over-analyzing my abilities. And anyone who knows me is fully aware of my pension … Continue reading What Am I Doing?

Tempting the Ocean
In June, I was on vacation with my family. There is one scene I recall and thought I'd share. Sitting on the beach outside our resort with my wife, the sun was setting and the sky was ablaze with shades of the blue east to the crimson west. My daughter was on the edge of … Continue reading Tempting the Ocean
The Person in the Author
I think if you were to go to a majority of my classmates, workmates and people I have met casually along the way, you'd have no real scope as to my personality. I'm not trying to be shy or pious in any way, it's just who I am. It's who a lot of us are, … Continue reading The Person in the Author
Allergic to E Challenge
So, this wonderful (former) friend of mine, Kate, decided to hit me up with a challenge. While this is perfect, because I had nothing planned for today, it also squeezed at my brain. The Allergic to E challenge pits a writer to construct a paragraph (4 to 6 sentences) without using the letter "E". Sounds … Continue reading Allergic to E Challenge
