Blog postThe Associated Press quoted me in a cool article regarding the Joro Spider. The Joro spider season is coming to a close but the interest increases.

Blog postThe Wall Street Journal quoted me and used a couple of my photos regarding the Joro Spider. The Joro is native to Asia but has moved into northeastern Georgia where I live.
In Time for Halloween: Invasion of the Jorō Spiders. ‘You Mow the Grass, and You’re Just Covered in Webs.’
It’s said there’s a bumper crop of Joro spiders this year. Many people aren’t pleased. Others, like me, consider it a thing of be

Blog postI have a sexy job. It isn’t really, but that’s the impression some people have. They’ve watched too many movies romanticize my type of work. In the course of conversation, someone might say, “So, what do you do?” There’s a range of reasons people ask such a thing — maybe they want to guess my income level, find a common place that we can relate, or they want to sort out the social hierarchy. My professional life isn’t without adventures. I have loads, but so do you.
Sometimes, I tell -
Blog postMy new short story is now available at Amazon. It’s called “The First Time You Die.” Two dead guys are having a little chat. Sort of.
Please buy and copy, or, if you have Kindle Unlimited, read it that way. It will take average readers about 30 minutes. If you like it, please give it a thoughtful review.
It’s literary fiction based in a real cemetery near the Southside of Chicago. It is centered around on

Blog postFacebook. Have you visited us there lately?

Pictures of Trees + Tree forts are found in trees. Usually. It’s complicated.
Lots of cool photos and thoughts about trees, nature, with a few spooky things thrown in. You’ll find most of the trees near our headquarters, but many are from our travels to Illinois, Kentucky, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Florida.

Blog postI’ve published a new short story. “The First Time You Die.” It isn’t a silly modern tall tale like my others you might’ve seen. It’s not for children. There’s no profanity or sensual scenes. But it is about death. And within it, my story examines some related difficult topics. Grab one for your Kindle and head to your fort.
My narrator is completely untrustworthy, but he means well. Sometimes, pos

Blog postLooking skyward, there is an eternity beyond the tree line. And beyond the farthest planet, and beyond last star, what’s there? Through my faith, I believe God is there, as much as He is anywhere, as He is omnipresent. What’s physically beyond that farthest star? I don’t know, but I’ve looked plenty and wondered.
During my college years, I spent a few months working at a summer farm camp set in the

Blog postDo you read aloud? You should. Read to your children. Read to your spouse. Read to your friends. Take a book from the page into real life. It’ll bring out aspects of the story you might not have noticed reading quietly.
In my job as a speechwriter, I write so that other people, my clients, can read aloud to an audience. That audience might be big or small, at a wedding or at a business meeting. Wha

Blog postThis is new. Brand new. Well, sort of new. OK, not really new. The website (that’s the pic you see in this post) and the tales it supported existed without much love for years. It needed an overhaul, so here we are. That’s really not why I’m posting. I want to invite you to go on an adventure with me. As I write, I have five tales on Kindle. All are completely kid-friendly. They are all going to get their own overhaul. Edit

Blog postDo you need a book club leader? I can help.
My role is part-teacher, part-tour guide and part-facilitator.
My role is less of a participant as it is teacher/moderator. That’s a book club leader does.
For example, if going through a classic like Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea, we’d get into things like the culture of Cuba at the time, Hemingway’s writing style and general biography, and other matters which influenced the writing and understanding of the book
