As many of you know I’ve been working on “The Door” for the last four years. And looking back on that sentence I’m wishing I’d phrased it differently, because it makes me sound like someone who is the lamest handyman in creation. Hmm… there might be another blog post in that. I…
Sorry for the delay in posting this second section, but I’ve been having issues with the Kindle version of my first novel “The Bridge”. Amazon has been alerted to the problem and are working hard with me to get the problem resolved. I’ll be creating another post here sharing what happened and how we got…
Well, we’re mostly settled into our new place, so the dust is slowly settling from all of that. Well mostly settled. Still unpacking and organizing where we want things to go and how, but that’s just normal after a move. But sometimes figuring out how to organize your story and where you want certain…

In the immortal words of Bender the robot from Futurama “I’M BACK BABY!” Things are finally settling down from our recent move from Santa Cruz to the Monterey Bay Area. Both my wife and I have started up with more classes. She is going to a university, while I’m still studying at a local community…

Hi everyone. For those who haven’t realized, I have this blog and another one. This blog has been mostly for talking about my novels that are finished or are under way. The other blog which I’ve titled, “MUSINGS OF A CREATIVE MIND” is all about writing itself. Dealing with writer’s block, getting ideas and inspirations,…
