For generations, Mars has captured the imagination of scientists, dreamers, and science fiction writers alike. Today, the idea of humans living on the Red Planet is no longer confined entirely to fiction. Companies such as SpaceX, led by Elon Musk, openly discuss building permanent settlements on Mars within the coming…
Another year has gone by, and I’ll be glad to see 2025 in my rearview mirror and greet the new year 2026. Too many medical appointments and procedures. Fortunately, things are looking better. Plus, I have actually started writing on a regular basis again. In the past couple of days,…
I thought I would share some updates not related to writing, at least not directly. Many of you remember that during the past year, Lynne and I built a workshop next to the house. You have seen pictures of the exterior and the interior. I even showed you a modular…
Before I became a sci-fi author, I was a Navy pilot, writing and living real-life leadership. Today, those same lessons power the starships and plasma battles in my books. My first non-fiction book, Leaders Are Made, Not Born, grew out of years of experience in aerospace, technology companies, and service…

It has, again, been too long since I last updated all of you. My apologies. I continue to work at my leadership coaching job, and there have been a couple of distractions, one of which continues. We were in Panama for our fifth time at Tropic Star Lodge. The fishing…
How is everyone doing? Has the weather been confusing? Is it Spring yet? These are all interesting questions that you can answer for yourself. In my case, I can’t decide what time of year it is. One day, it will be 40 degrees, and the next, 75 or even 85!…
