Blog postI want to take a minute and thank everyone that has bought a book or a Kindle. It's been a pleasure hearing back from you. Again to contact me click here. I promise to keep writing for as long as these fingers and brain work.
I also want to take a moment to tell those that haven't read my work yet, that if you like page turning adventures I'm your guy. I've been told that it's like reading the Bourne novels.

Blog postDan stood there. Glazed eyes still wanting to be close to her. Watching, looking all around, knowing. Far away now but there had been a time. The glazed hardened eyes softened for a second as he remembered. His eyes darted around his perimeter one more time. His immediate thought was why? Why didn't he just let it happen? He'd be closer to her wouldn't he? All that religion crap he was taught when he was younger said so. He could go to heaven couldn't he? Within the tree line he could se6 years ago Read more

Blog postWatch out everyone here's a change of pace that I didn't think I'd ever do but here goes. I just got through reading "The Last Gunfight" by Jeff Guinn. It's the real story of the shootout at the O.K. Corral and how it changed the American West. Boy that was a mouthful and there were a mouthful of words in this book. I'm not sure everyone knows but I'm a fiction fan. Die hard fiction fan. The ultimate fiction fan. So you ask; why in the heck did you pick up this book? Well I'll tell you7 years ago Read more

Blog postI started our book club over a year ago and through a process of elimination we've created a worthy group of crazy people to make up the surly mob. I'm always there a half hour before to make coffee and hot water for tea and someone in the group brings something to eat that is related to the book we've read. Povitica was introduced to our palates. There was one dissenting vote but other than that the rest of us busied our grubby little fingers and wasted that big serving dish that was full7 years ago Read more

Blog postHey Everyone, I'm back like a bad penny. Just can't get rid of me. I've been reading a lot in the last year and I'm finally going to start blogging about some of the great books I've read. The latest in my book club has been "The Cellist of Sarajevo" by Steven Galloway. First of all I want to say that the man has put some real work into this novel. Although it is a novel and not the exact truth he gives us an understanding of what it's like when a city is under siege. I'm not sure w7 years ago Read more

Blog postHey There,
Okay I had a real first in my life and I've lived 64 years. I have a bucket list but this one sure wasn't on it. I had to have a tooth pulled without being put under. I've got to say, that for a week before, I was mentally getting ready for the worst. I couldn't write, I couldn't think, I couldn't even really listen to my one true love; Grace. I knew I had to get my big boy britches on because I was going to be in major pain for a long time and I8 years ago Read more -
Blog postHey There,
I wanted to tell you all that I'm still not dead but working hard trying to get my life in order so that I can start marketing my books. While reading an article on marketing there was a question asked that I had never really asked myself. "Why are you writing this book?" I had to think. Was it because I wanted to make a great deal of money? Yeah sure. Ninety percent of us authors are screaming with so much money we could take care of th8 years ago Read more -

Thought I was dead for a while but nooooot. I've been working on getting my books online and creating the real books for the people that just have to have a physical book in there hands at night while laying in bed to wander off into never, never land. My characters do go off into far away places at times hunting down drug or human traffickers, or just finding a new set of elements of chemistry that the Mayan people were given by aliens.

Blog postHey There,
What a wonderful morning at the coffee shop here in Duluth. It's 7 degrees, not much wind (thank God) and the coffee shop is just about a half a block away. (Which is good in this weather) Grace had a white chocolate machioto. She gave me a taste and if I liked cinnamon and white chocolate I would have drenched myself in it. Boring old me just had dark roast regular coffee with of course cream and sugar.

Blog postHey There,
Just wanted everyone to know that I did finish Elizabeth Peters book last night and I hadn't even remembered the good twist to her murder mystery. It was epic as a matter of fact in so far as I didn't remember it until I read it again. There was enough smoke and mirrors with her "little lists" that there was secondary surprise is that great big package. You've got to read it!

Blog postHey there,
Just all but finished "The Serpent on the Crown" for the second time by "Elizabeth Peters". She just makes me smile every time I read one of her books whether it's the first time or the second or the third. I don't come close to writing like her but I do hope that I spin a yarn as good. I hope my characters become a part of a persons mental disorders (ha ha) or at least someone that they might want to have a drink with. I don't think Emerson would hav10 years ago Read more -
Blog postHey There,
Here's another author for those that like tongue in cheek, sarcasm at its best and a sense of humor that will crack up most people; Nelson DeMille should be on your list of must read authors. Besides his humor he can tell a good story. A story where if it was another author some people like me would get tired of the fluff and close the book never to pick up that author again. He's not like that at all. He can make the mundane set up sound good and make you want to turn t10 years ago Read more -
Blog postHey There,
Okay enough about politics and the world. I have just started another book by Elizabeth Peters. It's one that I've already read but to tell the truth as soon as I started it I knew I had to read it again. She's one of those writers I can't put down and the pleasure it gives me to read her words is beyond what I can put on paper. I am truly mesmerized and taken thousands of miles to the Vally of the Kings in Egypt. Her British style of writing makes everyone come alive fr10 years ago Read more -
Blog postHey There,
I recently was posed a question by my dear wife. Why shouldn't we stop providing for the rest of the world and pull our ranks back to our shores and become a little more isolated and stop this funneling of every extra penny we have to everyone but ourselves?
It was a good question and one that I had to think about for a moment. I finally said; To me it's like knowing someone hated me for whatever reason and for lack of a better one let's say it's my religion. I'm10 years ago Read more -

Hey There;
I hope everyone understands why I'm giving English Grammar lessons. First to teach myself and second with the advent of LOL and OMG I think it's about time we get our language back so that there are no misunderstandings of translation. It seems to me this causes great problems everywhere.
One of the supposed sentences that gives me chills is when someone says; "You want to go with."

Again it's been a while since I've written but I'm making a New Years resolution. Oh crap I just didn't say that did I. Well I did and I'm not going for the back space bar.

Blog postHey,
I'm sorry I haven't written much lately but I've been busy writing another novel. In the middle of it now but I thought I'd give my self a break and learn something while giving anyone that wanted a Grammar lesson. I know I can use all the knowledge I can get when it comes to Grammar. So I thought I'd start at the beginning and as I say a lot in my novels "clarify".

Blog postHey,
The title for the Stricland, Scanlon novel finally came out while I was writing the other day. It was the second time I could use the phrase and almost didn't. You're not supposed to repeat that stuff but it seemed so appropriate for the mood of what I was writing and voila the light bulb went off in my head and it made all the sense in the world. I couldn't have done better if I tried.

Blog postHey,
As tough as Scanlon is, she's got a heart of gold. Probably sometimes to easy of a touch but she's got good people around her like Bobby so no one takes advantage. Townsend epitomizes someone that wouldn't think of taking advantage of anyone. She's the breath of air that Scanlon needs in her jaded and unthinkable life to set the world straight for her after all the long hard years yearning for one thing and one thing only.

Can't wait to get another novel up. Working title "Stricland and Scanlon". I'm sure that will change as soon as I see it in the novel. This one is a long one and it's been difficult. This was one of the ones that I hand wrote just to see if I could do it and what was it like before the dawn on the typewriter then voila the laptop.

I'm in the throws of another novel. Bet you couldn't guess since it's been so long that I've written anything. I've had a good run with this one and I'm just a few weeks from being done at least with the second draft. This one should be the longest one yet. I think I'm getting touched by the Blarney Stone.

Boy did I take some time from it all. I didn't realize I had laid low for so long. I think it was right after the 18th that I finished the last book in the Ross and Jena trilogy and I just shut my ass down and tried to not think of a thing one way or the other.

It's been way to long since I've written anything but it was because I loved what Wanda (my muse) said about the book. If it wasn't for readers like her I'd have a tough time keeping on, keeping on. I love writing and I would probably keep on but I love the good feedback; now the bad is a different story but I brace myself for the odd person that thinks it's a good thing to batter the author.

The Last Out (Ross and Jena Series Book 4)
Oct 30, 2016
$3.99
I think the time has come for all of us to take part in the effort against human trafficking and drugs. Two of the most devastating scourges on our society. The number on the front of this book is real and all you have to do when you see this blight occurring is make a phone call to it or 911. As someone said once. "It's when good men do nothing...etc."
Of course this is a novel but nothing is impossible. We have to change things now and make it right again. We can do it and I'm hoping that the pen is mightier than the sword. I'm going to keep writing about the ugliness of it all, hoping and praying I make a difference.

Last Ones Out (Ross and Jena Series Book 3)
Oct 29, 2016
$3.99
This novel is about a topic that is so ugly that I had a tough time wrapping my head around it. It's tough for a person like me or anyone that has a rational mind to even think that one human could do this to another. It's pathetic and sick in a most unnatural way.
We must stop this scourge on our souls, our country, our lives. How to do this is simple. We care. Care enough to build shelters that are for our young. Provide them with a way home or jobs that make a living. A trade, schooling, or whatever it takes to get them off the streets and out of the hands of no account bastards that make their living off our children.

Day of the Dogs 3 (Bob and Grace Series)
Oct 10, 2016
$3.99
I really enjoy writing about my alter ego. It makes me think that given the same set of circumstances I would react in the same manner. I'm not sure that's true but I can hope. I've been told that the amount of pain inside me must be overwhelming to write about a man that can kill without remorse. But I feel as though it's just the opposite.
Evil puts Dr. Bob in a position that gives him no choice. The men that hunt him live by no rules. Their end is to have money and power that they try and achieve at anyone's expense. Few can fight back; Dr. Bob and Grace are two of the few.
With this responsibility Dr. Bob has two redeeming legacies from beyond. The Old Indian and Dr. Bob's ancestors that help when they can; and the gift. The taking of another human life no matter if they are the scum of the earth will turn a man's insides sideways unless he uses the gift. The gift of the song that turns things right side up.

I have fun writing this kind of book. The characters take over inside my head and all I do is transcribe.
The toughest to write, of course, is the Old Indian. No one has ever called me cryptic. To me he is the main man, ever looming over everyone's shoulder waiting to jump out of the page and into your heart with a campfire, a skillet, a fire stick, and a stack of fry bread ready to heat up and eat.
He's that voice in our head that tells us the right things to do. With it we understand right and wrong. Cryptic as he may be, he always leaves enough for you to know.

S & S GANG (Stricland and Scanlon Series Book 1)
Mar 15, 2016
$3.99
It’s obvious that Conley’s favorite character in this novel is Stricland. I’m sure it’s because he doesn’t talk much but acts, since his mind isn’t full of jibber-jabber from others. That’s the only way a person can write.
Conley understands Stricland enough to know that he needs that one special person that accepts him and loves him in spite of all his flaws. She can travel the same road and is the partner he and Conley have been looking for all their lives.
I think I can safely say that Conley found his. Look at all of his dedications to Grace.
