Okay – so it hasn’t been a well kept secret that I’ve been battling some kind of flu & respiratory thing for several weeks. Now Deb has it. We’re a great combination these days – She can’t talk & I can’t hear. I was joking with my ghost-hunter friend Mary from Indianapolis (on Facebook), that…

Our oldest son Michael sent us a video of our granddaughter Isabel “reading” – She’s 3 & doesn’t actually read. She knows the story well enough that she goes page by page pretending to read the words. The jist of the story was – someone was getting married & she wanted to be the flower…

Tomorrow will mark one month since BAD LATITUDE A Jack Rackham Adventure became available. In that short period of time, the book managed to make the top ten in sales at Booklocker, it had a nice upward boost on Amazon, & has gotten some cool reviews (which I’ll share later). Nine stores are already stocking…

Does it really take an Einstein to set up a computer, build a website, transfer data without quadruplicating it (sorry Deb – you’ll be done in a few months) or add links???? I mean, this is tedious stuff, but then… well, maybe I’m a moron. Ask someone how much to build a website & you…

Deb had her hair done today…. (Looks fabulous hon – really) but, I don’t get the whole cost thing. Understand, I’m not complaining. She didn’t buy “hair products” this time. Hint: Good ol’ shampoo & conditioner is usually what – $6 or $8? Hair “products” are apparently up there in car payment range – so…

An author friend was being interviewed on the radio about his latest book earlier this evening & I decided to call in to ask a question. Now if I had identified myself as someone that he knew (via email & such), I would have come across like a stage prop. A planted fan. So I…

BAD LATITUDE – A Jack Rackham Adventure is finally up for sale. The book was published in November, but my Chicago trip & workload held up the official release. It’s finally for sale at http://www.booklocker.com under the fiction/adventure category. Here’s where it gets tough for me. Marketing. I honestly don’t like talking about myself –…

Here in my temporary Chicago “home” temps are in the 20s. Snow is on the ground (capping lots of ice – you always have to have freezing rain first). 30 mph winds & gray skies (always gray skies – it’s been sunny maybe twice). This is not my idea of a good time. Yesterday I…

Do ya ever think about your future? How is it all gonna play out? Ever set lofty goals & make careful plans? Think ya got everything mapped out in ridiculous detail? Lemme make it easier. Here’s how it really goes folks. Which begs the question – What happens if you’re not much of a beer…

6 weeks of hotel living. It’s getting to me big time. Now I know why Jack Nicholson went nuts up there at The Overlook. All that’s missin’ here are a few corpses, several feet of snow & a creepy maze. “REDRUM – REDRUM – REDRUM” – Where’s my axe? Lotsa folks would probably say whaddya…
