  • Chapters 2-4

    Chapters 1-4 are on paper.  That isn’t to say they’re done.  After the entire book is on paper, I’ll go back and start the review process.  It is a rainy day out, so maybe I can get chapter 5 on paper.

  • Not My Fault!

    Why are people so eager to shift blame?  Why do people not take responsibility for their actions?  I just read an article about how people were extremely upset their package didn’t get delivered by Christmas because they didn’t order it until a few days before.  People might not like this, but it is no one’s…

  • Merry Christmas!

    Regardless of whether people believe, everyone knows the origins of Christmas.  Today’s Christmas bears little resemblance to the original Christmas.    Today, people try to be a little better than they were the rest of the year.  People tend to be a little nicer.  Most of us try to do good deeds as Saint Nicholas of…

  • A Change of Pace

    I decided to change up the look of the site a bit.  I do not like to leave things too static.  There was a new theme available, and it caught my eye like a lady in a red dress in a sea of white.  It might not be better, but it is different.  You don’t…

  • Just a Dream

    So my desire to update this site at least once every two days has turned out to be just a dream.  It isn’t that I cannot physically sit down and log into the site and post an update.  The reality is that the pre-Christmas week is just a little too crazy.  If I’m being honest,…

  • First Chapter: Done

    The first chapter is done.  Well, it hasn’t been edited yet, but at least it is written.  As with everything, things are subject to change.  I’m happy with it but not thrilled.  It could be better, or I think it can.  After the book is written, I’ll go back through it several times.  We’ll see…

  • Well… It’s Started.

    So, I started actually writing the next book.  I had the book all planned out, and I was going to start writing a month or so ago, but that never happened.  I don’t know why time seems to go faster when it gets dark earlier.  The holiday time (Thanksgiving/Christmas) seems like a whirlwind of craziness. …

  • Not Enough Time

    I wish I didn’t need sleep and could be sharp and focused all the time.  It turns out that if I don’t get sleep, I’m mean and can barely function.  I really want to start writing “The Amanai Deception” hard core, but there is not enough hours in the day.  Getting paid by working a…

  • The Christmas Tree is Up

    The Saturday after Thanksgiving is our family’s traditional “Go Get the Tree” day.  We love having a real tree.  Believe it or not, but driving 30 minutes with the family to a tree farm, walking around, picking out our tree, and getting it up in the tree stand is a lot less work than dealing with a…
