And Now....A Children's Book or Two!

Well, I've just completed two children's books that have been in gestation for some time now. I'm keeping mum about the details, until I find an agent/publisher! All I can say is that the books have very strong cross-cultural interest, and an environmental message. Details will be available some time between now and Christmas!

Contentment--Updated--11-7-12

          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."…

Just a Little Longer

They had nothing to say to each other.  The time for any speaking had already passed.  Now here they were, at the end of all things.  In the dim light of the hospital room, the wife curled her fingers around the quiet, cool ones of her husband.



She couldn’t see beyond the tears.  There was nothing to see as it was.  They had walked all the paths of their life together and instead of looking…

A small piece of flash fiction to introduce myself

The setting sun cast a chequer-board pattern across the wooden floor.  Half-seated and half hanging from the ceiling by the stout cords around her wrists that were attached to a heavy bar that ran across the ceiling she panted heavily, head down.  It seemed to her that she could pick out every knot in the wood of the floor, see every tiny crack and the dust motes made almost glorious by the sun’s dying rays.  Then the pain came again, rippling through her body causing… Continue

The Thrill of the Chase

The woman ran, her bare feet slapped against the went concrete. Her eyes were wide as she scanned the dark road ahead of her for a hiding place. He wasn’t far behind her now. She could hear his bellowed threats louder with each passing second.

The street was dark, no houses had lights burning, even the streets lamps didn’t burn. “Perfect” She hissed under her breath. She spotted and alleyway that cut between two buildings. One an old boarded up shop, the…

Constructed Criticism

The first time I sent my Sci-Fi manuscript to get a seven page critique, ten years ago, I was floored and angry.  The things said about my baby.  Through a Writer’s Digest magazine ad I found Jane Rafel, editor.  I chose her because she lived close by at…

The Steps I took To publish my award winning book online

It took me 15 years to create, produce and finally give birth to my scifi book, Lord Skyler and The Earth Defense Force.  In 2007 I started looking into online publishing.  I tried the traditional route and got no reaction except no thanks.  I found out I needed a totally finished product before I could publish my book tradtionally or online.  So I decided to have my book professionally edited at this time.

Creating a Scifi Universe

I was recently asked how I could keep a whole made up Universe inside my head.  First mistake was assuming thats where my brain was.  It can be eaiser than it sounds if you know how to use your God like powers.

Its like the saying, "If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?"  When creating a scifi universe it does make a sound.  As a matter of fact just before the bark hits the grass, the grass changes to a bright, blinding, holy white…

Where Would I Be

Prologue 



“You’ll learn, just keep on living.” Those were the words echoing in Lisa’s ear right now. At this very moment, the words her mother would tell over and over as she was growing up were being repeated over and over again, as if they were a favorite love song. She wished her mother’s voice would tell her what to do about the man that was standing in front of her with a gun. How could the man, who claimed he loved her, be threatening to kill her? How the hell did she get…

Books Are Good For the Writer's Soul

After losing my first wife to cancer the world seemed to be an alien place. The couples we knew now longer were available, the places we used to go were now off limits for my heart, and the things we shared no longer seemed important.

 

One day, I decided to go back to something I used to do many years ago. Write!

 

Since 1999 I have written close to 400 short stories and poems, been involved with couple of small newspapers, and have published seven 3-5 year old…

A little something I wrote for fun.

'What would you say if I said I had the power to control electricity with my mind?" The supposed magician said with that glare of greed in his eyes. He stood on a stage glaring down upon the small town that had gathered around. I stared at his hands as he said the "magic word"
and observed him holding a light bulb in his hand. I started to…
