(Our canteloupe negligence dates back to 2005.)

I did three events in March -- a Barnes & Noble book-signing in Ocala, Mega-Con in Orlando, and a Critique Retreat at the Homosassa Public Library.

Mary and I were also caretaking our cat Red, who passed on March 20 at the age of 16. That leaves his buddy Daisy, making us a one-cat household. We've all been adjusting.

April has been a month of rest and planning, and even some writing in the mi... read more

I was at the WBZ studio in Boston for my first appearance on the Jordan Rich Show in October 2002. Tonight I'll be taking a call here at my home workroom (shown above), to do a phone interview as part of the "Jordan Rich Show Book Club, Winter 2008 edition." The photo above is about five years old, but my desk still looks pretty much as it had except that I have a fair degree more material on the walls.

The interview will occur at around 12:30 a.m. Eastern Time on Saturday, February 2 (t... read more

My Recent Activity

Identical Real-Name Dilemma (in Fiction Writing) A writer I know has the same name as a well-known one. Both write material dealing with similar issues. The writer I know is looking at potential publisher interest in her book, but so far it's through a third party (not an agent) and there's be... read more
