Blog postJust got off the phone talking with a friend of mine. He had been to the doctor and was waiting for information on what kind of influenza he had.
And that set me thinking about the “good old days.”
I mean, back then, we only had one influenza. Now we have progressed to multiple types. Wasn’t just one influenza enough?
Of course, I realized what I had been doing for the past two weeks. Trying to get a phone. There are so many companies to ch -
Blog postIt’s July 4th as I write this. The 4th of July always brings back memories of our nation and the great holidays of the past, and the great patriots our country has seen.
When I was young, there was always a big parade on July 4th. And it was a patriotic parade. Veterans were honored. Rousing, music was played by the bands in the parade. People waved flags, from three and four-year-olds to octogenarians. Most of the movies houses had some sort of a patriotic movie sho -

Blog postPersistence
Though we have all seen the various successful writers who could paper their wall with rejections, I ran across one that stopped me cold. I was reading about a massive fire in Sonoma County, CA. It mentioned the damage to the Jack London State Historical Park. The Park Staff transported thousands of historical relics to Sacramento, safe from the fires.
Over a hundred years ago, Jack and his wife were building Wolf House in this same area. It was a massi -
Blog postI’ve gotten a lot of good comments on the cover for Political Dirty Trick. Last week, one reader asked me how I came up with the cover. In all honesty, I had to say I had a cover designer who came up with it.
But as I thought about it, I realized there was much more to it than that. In fact, there were more than a dozen designs that came and went before we settled on this final cove. Most of these were not from Adrijus, who created the final cover.
Before he ever got inv -
Blog postFor some time, I had been thinking about writing a book where the antagonist was initially a good person. This good person stepped over “the line.” Why or how would that happen?
There are many ways. Perhaps by accident. Or maybe he or she got tricked. Certainly a person could yield to the temptation, cross the line, then regret it. Of course, someone might talk the person into the action, make it sound not so bad, perhaps even a good thing, or for a good -
Blog postAuthor Eliade Muldovan asks several interesting questions. Give it a read, and then feel free to make your own comments
Where is humankind heading? First question: Did human consciousness change along centuries and millennia?
Disrespect for our environment, religious intolerance, greed, selfishness… I did my reading, history and religious texts and books.
My conclusion? Not much. Add to all this the unstoppable population growth, the overpopulation and the insane -

Blog postPolitical Dirty Trick
For some time, I had been contemplating writing a story about a basically good person who is convinced to step over the line. Once over that line, the slope gets slippery. And it only gets slipperier as he or she moves.
I had intended to name the book, The Slippery Slope.
After watching national politics, I thought I might write a story about a political dirty trick. Please note, I was not, and am still not, taking sides. There were questionable a
