I’m writing you from my wonderful, relaxing vacation in the upper and very cool part of Washington. Not D.C. Port Townsend is a great little bohemian seaport filled with ambiance and art and fun and laid-backness, just what I needed!
Nonetheless, I embark on another sort of tour Monday, where I will begin my “trip” with [...]
I’m an ebook veteran. Many years ago, when ebooks were first being created by small companies with big visions, the cross-genre book finally found a place in the literary world. The boundaries within which authors were expected to write began to stretch, as more small-press and e-publishers took up the call: “Why not?”

1948. Post war, recovery.
Hollywood was wooing back the public with blockbusters like The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Key Largo and The Three Musketeers.

Set in an off-shore lighthouse perched on a deadly reef near the extreme northern California coast, “Dragon Rock Lighthouse” provides the eerie, dangerous background for CAPE SEDUCTION.

Been hard at work making decisions about my career, and am [...]

See anything interesting yet? Maybe you’re not up to a whole month of anything, so consider this: it’s Read an ebook week! Yes, those annoying tree-huggers are back, admonishing you for still reading paper books! I’ll admit [...]
For those of you not “in the know” – “La-La Land” is the not-so-affectionate nickname of our City of Angels (originally El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciúncula or The Town of Our Lady the Queen of Angels of the Little Portion); some just call it “Smell-A” (nasty, ain’t it?)
Why [...]
Suffering. I made some kind of mistake, not knowing (well, if we knew when we were making mistakes, we wouldn’t make them, duh!) and now I am trying to fix it. It’s not an easy thing to fix, either. My day was going pretty well, too. The thing is, I’m the kind of person that [...]
Wow. An Eleven day disappearance. Where have I been? WRITING. In fact, as I type this entry late Thursday evening, my back is giving me loud complaints from the days sitting at the keyboard. So what am I writing? Other blogs, homework (I am now studying the Constitution), a review of Michael Moore’s SICKO for [...]
