I hope so. Because life would be pretty dull without some kind of imagination. As you watch this wonderful slideshow of St. George Reef Lighthouse, just imagine what Darla’s life may have been like while visiting “Dragon Rock Lighthouse!” St. George Reef Lighthouse
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. The beautiful people were “seen” at the Brown Derby and held their not-so-secret trysts at Chateau Marmont. They drove fishtail-finned Caddies and flew in the luxurious Douglas DC-6. Darla Foster [...]
It’s been three years since I last attended Printers Row in Chicago. It was hot but pleasant. Hoards of people. There I met fellow Echelon Press authors J.R. (Jenny) Turner, Luisa Buehler, Robert Goldsborough, Marc Vun Kannon, Margot Justes, Mary Welk and of course our fearless leader, Karen Syed. This year, we’ll be joined by [...]
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. The story takes us back to 1948, when a popular Hollywood starlet goes missing after the filming of a blockbuster movie set in the water-locked beacon. In 2008, [...]
March Madness! We love March. March is… Small press month Women’s history month National Nutrition Month National Kidney Month American Red Cross Month. 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 [...]
Aside from the notion that I am, in fact, going mad, everything seems to be fine. Everyone is quick to say, “2010 will be better!” Even in the bank today, a customer—a stranger to me—called out the same, asking for my concurrence. I do believe that people everywhere are ready to feel better. They are [...]

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 [...]
