We are four days away from the most consequential election in my lifetime. What’s at stake? Our fundamental rights. Think that’s hyperbole? Consider several far-right politicians not even trying to hide from their dangerous rhetoric. … Read More Vote…Vote…Vote!
I wasn’t sure I would write a blog this week, but considering I skipped last week, I thought I really needed to. Originally, I had a completely different topic in mind, and then it happened…the verdict came in, and I knew I could not ignore this topic. I’m only partially embarrassed to say that I… Read More Historical…
The struggle is real. I’m not talking about the action or thriller component in a Romantic Thriller. I’m referring to the right balance of action to romance. I’m not sure if there’s a formula out there to follow. And even if there was, I’m not the kind of writer to adhere to those rules, anyway.… Read More Romantic Thrillers
Some say there is a fine line between love and hate. Others insist the two are diametrically opposed. I often wonder about our capacity for such extremes. Yet I see evidence of this every day. I’m a huge fan of those heart-wrenching videos of cats and kittens who are on the verge of death and… Read More Love and Hate
I don’t feel sorry for Bud Light. Not one bit! Why? Because they thought they’d be successful by continuing to change lanes when all they did was crash and burn.

Let’s take the term “Woke” and break that down. Most individuals, especially those on the far right, don’t even know how to define woke as the right muddles… Read More Woke
I’m not really known as a writer who engineers their stories with lesbian couples who have kids. Most of my main characters remain childless with a few exceptions. There’s a good reason for this. People often write what they know, and I’ve never had children of the two-legged variety. All my kids come with fur… Read More Kids and Family
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I had a hard time celebrating the 4th this year. And that’s not because it fell on a Tuesday, making it difficult to stay up late and go to work the next day. I’m retired. Every day is Saturday for me and my wife. Nope, this… Read More Freedom? Really?
People who follow me know I often make up new words if I don’t believe a word exists for something I’m trying to explain or share with others. Thus my word to describe pretty much every book I’ve ever written is romash. Well, imagine my disappointment to learn that I did not makeup either Genre-Fluid… Read More Genre-Fluid of Genre-Bending
