Bath or Bust!
Really ... I did have every intention of posting here while on my amazing trip to Bath and London in September. I confess: I had little opportunity. Why yes it was THAT much fun, but also I had dreadful connectivity issues while there. On 9/11 I dared to board a flight for Heathrow from San …
An Audio Book? Why, yes!
Oh, I know. It seems like forever since I last posted, but I promise I've had good excuses, such as the successful Clockwork Alchemy convention over Memorial Day weekend. And now this ... ... a chance to have the Yankee Must Die dime novel in audio format. Professional Producer, Musician, and Voice Artist Patrick R. …
Backstory, we don’t need no stinkin’ backstory
Hola, fellow authors: I was just reading an article about where to start your novel or short story. The blogger insists that beginning in a character’s childhood is both boring and unnecessary.

Journey to the Center of the Jökull – (Giving volcanic ash the finger or Part 2)
They have T-shirts and magnets for sale at every shop in Iceland, but for once, the cheesy tourist junk was tempting because it was funny. “What part of Eyjafjallajökull do you not understand.” I HAD to get the magnet! The Icelandic Kroner is a wildly flocculating rascal in the international exchange world. Rather more colorful …

Journey to the Center of … Eyjafjallajökull (don’t panic – we’ll review the pronunciation.) (Part 1)
