OK, I’ll keep this short and sweet. Three things to tell you: I just got back from a wonderful vacation in Alaska that included a scenic train ride between Fairbanks and Anchorage, a lake cruise right up to a calving glacier in Portage and some flying over the marshland ending with stellar air pic of Anchorage and backdrop mountains. That got the writing juices flowing again as I put fingers to keyboard and continued the…

Kool Reads From Gotham City
This week, I want to share with you a cool pic that a good friend of mine took a few years back of downtown NYC. I love this Gotham like B&W image with the new One World Trade Center as the centerpiece, so I took the liberty to add the bat signal. And speaking of cool, it’s getting hot out here in Raleigh, NC.

Back to Writing After Six Long Years
After a a six-year hiatus, I’ve picked up from where I left off on writing MILK RUN! Before then, everything was going fine till I ran into the dreaded writer’s block. The story felt flat and typical, and I didn’t like that. So, in 2016, I stopped everything, including publishing the already completed HEAVEN’S ANT FARM SciFi novel to the bookstores. I guess I just needed to clear my head a bit. Besides, I was…

The 77 Challenge
Hey authors, suppose someone goes to the bathroom and while there opens your book. But not at the beginning. They just start reading from any old random place in your book. Will they get some idea of what your book is about by perusing just a few random lines? Will they want to read more? Or will they use the pages for something else having just realized there’s no toilet paper in the stall? Hey…
