While most of you know that I'm a full time writer, many of you don't know that I'm a part time substitute teacher - grades k-12. While I fell into the job, I've always loved teaching; it's been a passion of mine since I was very young. I was in the fifth grade when I … Continue reading A little game of catch up…

For those of you who follow, I started this book a couple of months ago. Generally speaking I'm a much quicker reader and often this when I struggle it is due to disinterest or distraction of some other shinny new book. In this case, it was the later. Let's face it, everyone knows that anything … Continue reading 11-22-63
Coreyography
Coreyography by Corey Feldman Dream A Little Dream's psychedelic story has been a long standing favorite in my DVD collection. If it was ever released to Blu-Ray, I'd be all over it. Outside of Wil Wheaton, which I've talked in length about in the past, Corey Feldman was my other childhood crush. Heck, I told … Continue reading Coreyography
After You
**** SPOILER ALERT - While I won’t spoil this book for you, it might spoil Before You a bit. I’ll try not to give too much away, but you’ve been warned ***** After You by Jojo Moyes When I finished reading Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, I was a bit surprised to see that … Continue reading After You
Ready Player One vs. Armada
It is a 19 hour drive from Las Vegas to my home on Whidbey Island Washington. This of course is failing to calculate time for gas, food, and endless bathroom breaks or when the car started to leak fluid. To say the least, we had some time to kill. However, as much as I would … Continue reading Ready Player One vs. Armada
Work For Free?
I saw this on Twitter today and felt the need to share it: It's a beautiful response to an advertisement, by an artist, to a company looking for someone to volunteer their time and skills. At the end of the day, I don't know a single artist, writer, creator of any kind who can work … Continue reading Work For Free?
Las Vegas Writer’s Conference 2016
The Cheetos in this hotel don't taste remotely the same as the Cheetos I buy at home. The truth is, I have a soft spot for them, particularly when I'm writing. It's like coffee in the daytime, wine or whisky in the afternoon, and Cheetos. I know how that sounds. Honestly it's not that often … Continue reading Las Vegas Writer’s Conference 2016
Storm Front
February 7, 2016 Storm Front by Jim Butcher I’ve owned a copy of this book for like a thousand years. A good friend recommended the series to me way back when there were a quarter as many books as there are now. And just think, had I taken his advice to heart I would have … Continue reading Storm Front
Sinatra
February 1, 2016 Sinatra, The Life by Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan This biography qualifies for my 2016 reading challenge as the “book I own but never read.” I’ve owned two copies of this book, hard back and audio, for many years now but I never ‘found the time’ to read either. I think in … Continue reading Sinatra
Faerwald 2
This morning while punch drunk I had an epiphany for the second book in my trilogy. Of course I'm working on something very different right now, that aside I think I have the entire next book finally worked out. This time travel story blew my mind this morning and I can only hope to do … Continue reading Faerwald 2
