In the last newsletter, I related the exploits of my dogs trying to capture a rat. At the time, my biggest concern was them being overly interested in the rodent, not coming into the house when I called them, thus preventing me from going to bed at a reasonable hour. It turns out that my…
Over the last week or so, I’ve witnessed real-life episodes of Tom and Jerry in my backyard. One night around bedtime, I hear my beagle bay. This is a unique sound he only makes when he discovers some sort of critter that he’s locked on to by scent or sight. His partner in crime is…
That’s it, I’m done! …with the first draft of Mechhaven Book 5: By Archangel’s Light that is! I’m excited about starting the editing process this weekend. Book 5 took me much longer to write than I expected, and because of work and life distractions, felt like I was running a marathon through molasses. Now I…
Looks like we’ll be getting some much needed rain in SoCal over the next few days. This is great for the fire situation. I’m looking forward to it as well. I find cool, cloudy weather ideal for writing. As you’ll see below, I’m getting very close to finally wrapping up the first draft of By…
The new year has gotten off to quite an ominous start with two terrorist attacks on the first day, and now this week, devastating wildfires in southern California, specifically the Los Angeles area. And we’re just eleven days into the year! Thankfully, my family, friends, and I are safe and quite a way from the…
Reporting in from Disneyland. We’ve never been during the holidays, so my wife and I took our kids and her parents. The decorations are quite festive. It’s crowded, but not nearly as bad as I expected. We walked about a gazillion miles yesterday, and we’ll walk a gazillion more before heading home today. We haven’t…
The holiday season is here. I just wrapped up meeting some pretty crazy deadlines at work, but have a few more days until I’m on vacation until after New Year’s. I’m so ready to slow down for a bit to enjoy my family, watch some movies, and read some books. Regarding the title of this…
As we head in to Thanksgiving week, I just wanted to say I am thankful for all of you. Writing, even though I don’t do it full time (yet), has been one of my dreams since I was very young. So that I get to write and all of you somehow are engaged in that…
Halloween has come and gone, now the holiday season is fully upon us. Thanksgiving is bearing down on us whether we like it or not. I’m actually looking forward to it as I like this time of year. I’m not crazy like someone I know who put their Christmas tree up in October (that’s taking…
This weekend I’m at what will probably be my last in-person event for the year, the San Diego Comic Fest. My oldest son and I drove down to Carlsbad yesterday. We set up our table and hung out for the opening night gala. As soon as I finish prepping this newsletter, we’ll be off to…
