Blog postVivien’s Song By Alfred Lord Tennyson, 1809 – 1892
‘In Love, if Love be Love, if Love be ours,
Faith and unfaith can ne’er be equal powers:
Unfaith in aught is want of faith in all.
‘It is the little rift within the lute,
That by and by will make the music mute,
And ever widening slowly silence all.
‘The little rift within the lover’s lute
Or little pitted speck in garnered fruit,
That rotting inwa -
Blog postI wish everyone a belated happy New Year! Long time no blog. Shame on me! I’ve been busy, I’ve been distracted, and I’ve been lazy. Hopefully, all of my many, many fans—I’m looking at you Mom!—haven’t missed my disjointed blog ramblings too much. Even though I haven’t been blogging, I have been keeping myself off the streets by reading.
Here are five of the best writing and publishing related articles/stories I’ve read in January.

Blog postChristmas in the Heart By Paul Laurence Dunbar, 1872 – 1906
The snow lies deep upon the ground,
And winter’s brightness all around
Decks bravely out the forest sere,
With jewels of the brave old year.
The coasting crowd upon the hill
With some new spirit seems to thrill;
And all the temple bells achime.
Ring out the glee of Christmas time.
In happy homes the brown oak-bough

Blog postLike most authors, I knew I wanted to be a writer at a young age. Here are some tips I would have given my younger self.
Read! – Read a lot and read widely. You’ll learn story structure, genre tropes, pacing and voice through reading. Plus, reading an extensive variety of genres expands your tastes and creativity.
Study grammar and spelling – While old dogs can learn new tricks, it is much easier to absorb new things as a puppy. I’m sure you get where I’m going with this -
Blog postThe Vampyre By John Stagg, 1770 – 1823
“Why looks my lord so deadly pale?
Why fades the crimson from his cheek?
What can my dearest husband ail?
Thy heartfelt cares, O Herman, speak!
“Why, at the silent hour of rest,
Dost thou in sleep so sadly mourn?
Has tho’ with heaviest grief oppress’d,
Griefs too distressful to be borne.
“Why heaves thy breast? — why throbs thy heart?
O speak! a -
Blog postDon’t you love it when two things you love collide? Like, peanut butter and chocolate, breakfast and lunch, Greek mythology and an Amazonian princess.
Diana Prince, aka Diana of Themyscira, aka Wonder Woman, is the first child born on Paradise Island to Queen Hippolyta. She is one of the most famous and beloved superheroes on the planet. I’ve been a fan for years and have a collection of action figures. I was so excited that she finally got her own movie! It was about time.

Blog postEveryone has their favorite movie about love or their favorite action movie or comic book movie franchise. Ha! Just kidding with the last one. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been kicking DC’s box office butt for years now without breaking a sweat.
As an author, I put together a list of my favorite movies about writing and/or writers. The variety of types of writers in movies surprised me.
Bridget Jones’s Diary
(memoir)

Blog postThis month marks the anniversary of when I first published Hound Dog Confidential. Oh my, how time zooms by and how things have changed.
Here are a few things I’ve learned thus far:
1. Every step in the publishing process will take longer than expected. As early visitors of my website can attest, I originally thought I Hound Dog Confidential would be published in 2016.
2. Enjoy the moments. You onl -
