     Working as a tutor in the writing center, it's very common to get started on a discussion completely unrelated towards the student's assignments. I find myself going on about my own personal writing issues, current events relating to argumentative essays, and even the occasional discussion of entertainment. Last night I talked with someone about "Assassin's Creed 3," which already has a strong following, but a few days ago I brought up "The Walking Dead"--big mistake. I love the…

It's a beautiful Firday morning and I don't even have to take my transporter to meet this week's guest. I can drive to our interview. It's only an hour away in Iowa's capital Des Moines. Downtown on Fourth there is a snazzy little coffee shop called Java Joe's. I've been there many times. They have rick showing through the masonry, a scuffed stage peformers do their…

About a writer's time and writer's following, there was a similar blog recently on another writer site, SHE WRITES. Also this is NaNoWriMo - for November 2012. I jumped in and I am very behind in my word number/stats department. Too, I have a blog here, but I have not blogged in weeks. No excuses...... am just not there. One thing about the promotions and the readership, another recent tip came up that makes sense. I am following half dozen writer sites if not more, so can't remember the…

 We're very excited to publish and don't want any  more delays, but we don't know when our cover will be ready.  After spending hours on the internet, unsuccessfully looking for a stock image that would be suitable, we have hired artist Paul Strahm to paint it for us.

  As soon as the cover is ready, it will be available from all the usual sources;…

          As I walk down a dusty winding road, the sounds of water beating against rocks enthrall my curiosity.

Not only do I perceive water flowing, moisture is in the air.  Suddenly, stumbling over a pile of entangled

driftwood, a jagged piece of wood scrapes my leg; fortunately, the skins intact.  The babbling brook cutting

through the backwoods in Alabama leads me to a weather-beaten road sign, "Underwood Road."…

　          A woman from Alabama, with a heavy accent living in Michigan was sent to a prestige hotel for a Sleep Disorder. After the study, unpacking personal items, discovered she had brought the hotel’s soap dish home. Right away, she called the Sleep Study Center reporting the mistake. The receptionist suggested- --- she

return the dish to the Hotel front desk. Since the Hotel was only a few miles away, her husband drove her to the

Hotel. He pulled into Valet…

I have known Giovanni Gelati for quite some time. He's interviewed me more than once on The G-Zone BlogTalkRadio Show. We've written together (A Prince in Trenton, Seriously?). Our latest collaboration is The Defective Amish Detective - Volume 1 - The Whoopie Pie Affair. It is a humorous story, that one might call a cozy mystery. Both of us had the goal of telling a fun story, while holding the Amish with utmost respect. With the "defects" of our main character,…

The conclusion of the suite, « Epilogue, » is a short section wherein I present my interpretation of the parable. The music is basically a reprise of the introduction, with a very simple acoustic guitar and vocals…

In a recent taekwondo class I was instructing the students in the single bahng mahng ee form. For those of you who can't read Korean, that is the single stick. The form is lengthy and complex. I've told my students many times (and I apologize to the creator of this form) that I think the single stick is boring. Or rather, I have seen too many times boring forms performed by competitors at tournaments. I…
