No object is mysterious. The mystery is your eye. ~Elizabeth Bowen My new book, In the Shadow of the River, came out on May 9th. Some of you even got the book before that date as a few flew out to readers early. Always fun to have a new story out on the shelves to sell and in the hands of people …
A Dog Can Be a Writer’s Best Friend
Several years ago I did an online Q & A about Animals and Authors. That was before my previous dog, Oscar, died of bone cancer way before I was ready to say goodbye. I hope you like this journey back in time to when Oscar was my best dog and always ready to support my writing efforts. 🙂 Quid Pro …
Where Imagination Can Take Flight
There are some places you can’t visit anymore, poetry and writings take you there. ~Vaishal sheth I guess I got too sneaky on my last random line. Nobody knew or guessed which book I grabbed it at random. Well, sort of random. I do look for a line that speaks a little of the story. I guess this one didn’t …
Spending Time in Hidden Springs
I’ve written a lot of books and seen many of them published and sent out into the world of readers. Each new story has a way of sort of pushing the last story a little to the side and the story ten books ago toward the second shelf of memory. I did a Zoom meeting with a fun book club …

I do not wonder that many writers love cats; I am only surprised that all do not.” (Carl Van Vechten) My dog, Oscar might take offense at that quote. Oscar’s a great writing companion, but cats …
First Love at Any Age
Memory has always fascinated me. Think of it. You can recall at will your first day in high school, your first date, your first love.

Some are of the much more serious types – first …
