Thanksgiving is a special time of year. No anxiety about giving or receiving gifts, just the pleasure of the best company you can have to celebrate the day. We do have much to be thankful for. As rocky as things are right now, we still live in a free country.…
I talked with Lynne yesterday about the book I’m not writing. By that, I mean Renegade. Truth be told, I have been dragging my feet on this book. There are probably several reasons why, but I don’t know that you would be interested in most of them. One reason I…
Pardon again. I have been offline for too long. There are multiple reasons, but the biggest is that work on Renegade has run into a serious dilemma. I believed I had a good plan for the book but failed to take into account something major. The early part of the…

I don’t think I’m wrong that every one of you is a reader. You enjoy the entertainment, the variety, and even the escape a good book brings. You are the writer’s dream … almost. There is one more thing that writers crave– Book Reviews! Without reviews, a writer’s dreams sink…
