  • Think I Need A Compass?

    I’m not much for looking back & can’t recall ever making New Year’s resolutions, so I won’t start now, but…….. Going through files & docs, I noticed that the RECKLESS draft was pretty much done in 2009 & here it is only 3 hours from 2011 & it’s still “not out” (waiting for the final cover…

  • Blog “Stuff”

    First of all, hope everyone had a very nice Christmas. I haven’t been online much these past few weeks. We’re working through the cover art again for RECKLESS, trying to get it just right. Being pig-headed, as usual. While that’s going on, I’m polishing & fine-tuning the final MS while working on the follow up…

  • The New Hideout

    Haven’t had much to say lately but since I haven’t posted in a month thought I’d better write something before y’all thought I died. At my age – well, don’t want people to be askin’ – “Did JaxPop up n’ die?” So here’s what I’ve been up to …. & there’s even some writing related nonsense…

  • My Wife Knows Everything My Wife Doesn’t Know

  • Jack Rackham & The Black Raven Mutiny

Alas, we celebrated the good fortune of ‘is seventh birthday makin’ due course through the Matanzas beyon’ the Castillo de San Marcos amongst a hearty band of thieves and cutthroats aboard the galleon known…

  • Eye Was Just Thinkin’…

    Eye get annoyed reading some blogs or listening to someone speak when every sentence starts with the word eye. (Disclaimer: This excludes my favorites – you know who you are!) Eye mean, there are times, when sharing something about your personal life, when it is absolutely necessary to use THAT word. No problem as long as the topic isn’t ALWAYS…

  • The Storyteller (An Old Re-Run)

    This is a slightly modified version of an old post. If you read this one already – you can click to another blog. My youngest son was born a few weeks before my grandfather passed away. My grandson Jack was born a few weeks before my dad died. Strange how history repeats. I hope my grandson…

  • Today’s Writing Tip Nonsense

        When faced with an ‘Oh Crap’ moment, a hopeless case of writer’s block, or rejections, whaddya do?      There’s always a way out. Ya gotta be decisive! We can screw things up with no help! Be positive. Take the plunge. Write something that everyone will hate, just because you know you can. What could happen? Overwhelmed…

  • NEXT STOP…….

    Here we go …… condo shoppin’. Inside what’s left of my brain, Willie Nelson keeps singin’ “On The Road Again”. Next stop ….. Miami. This gig’s gonna be a long one. (Picture off the web.) So now what? RECKLESS ENDEAVOR is almost about ready to roll out the door, the 3rd book is well underway & I’m he middle of…

  • Redneck Kangaroo

    There’s a gas station / convenience store down the road that I call the Redneck Kangaroo. (Kangaroo being the local version of Quik Marts, 7-11, or in my old hometown area – WAWA. WAWA has great coffee BTW.) So I run in there this afternoon to get a bag of ice for the cooler &…
