My Third Novel is Now Published on Amazon
Hello everyone, My last blog post was about a year ago now. I apologized at the time, saying I was working on another writing project that was more important to me. It is with great pleasure that I return to this blog, then, to say I have now completed my third novel, Beginning. The e-book…

An Apology, an Update, Fifty Ideas that Could Have Been, and What is Still to Come
Hello again everyone, Well, here I stand with metaphorical egg on my face. Back in April I made a rather bold promise to start this blog up again with at least some attempt at regularity, and I contributed an impressive total of three posts to the archives before the site went dark again for four…
