Shortly after sending the last newsletter, I sat down for an interview with Henry San Miguel of The Geek Speak Show. I met Henry at WonderCon, he’s a friend of, and a mentor to, Trent and Marc of Geek Off The Street. He’s a great guy and we had a fun discussion both before, during,…
Wow! WonderCon was a blast! It was most successful show to date! I saw so many great writers, artists, and other creatives that it’s hard to describe. The trick with shows like this is not spending too much money! FYI… I failed! I had a great time talking about books, reading, writing, and Mechhaven. I…
Thankfully, I have no new critter news this weekend. That should save my wallet a bit! I was surprised recently with “springing forward” to Daylight Savings Time. For some reason, I thought we’d moved away from that. I guess we’re still on the biannual changing of time. Seems a little silly to me. At this…
In the last newsletter, I related the exploits of my dogs trying to capture a rat. At the time, my biggest concern was them being overly interested in the rodent, not coming into the house when I called them, thus preventing me from going to bed at a reasonable hour. It turns out that my…
Over the last week or so, I’ve witnessed real-life episodes of Tom and Jerry in my backyard. One night around bedtime, I hear my beagle bay. This is a unique sound he only makes when he discovers some sort of critter that he’s locked on to by scent or sight. His partner in crime is…
That’s it, I’m done! …with the first draft of Mechhaven Book 5: By Archangel’s Light that is! I’m excited about starting the editing process this weekend. Book 5 took me much longer to write than I expected, and because of work and life distractions, felt like I was running a marathon through molasses. Now I…
Looks like we’ll be getting some much needed rain in SoCal over the next few days. This is great for the fire situation. I’m looking forward to it as well. I find cool, cloudy weather ideal for writing. As you’ll see below, I’m getting very close to finally wrapping up the first draft of By…
The new year has gotten off to quite an ominous start with two terrorist attacks on the first day, and now this week, devastating wildfires in southern California, specifically the Los Angeles area. And we’re just eleven days into the year! Thankfully, my family, friends, and I are safe and quite a way from the…
Reporting in from Disneyland. We’ve never been during the holidays, so my wife and I took our kids and her parents. The decorations are quite festive. It’s crowded, but not nearly as bad as I expected. We walked about a gazillion miles yesterday, and we’ll walk a gazillion more before heading home today. We haven’t…
The holiday season is here. I just wrapped up meeting some pretty crazy deadlines at work, but have a few more days until I’m on vacation until after New Year’s. I’m so ready to slow down for a bit to enjoy my family, watch some movies, and read some books. Regarding the title of this…
