- All right, I just upgraded my phone - first time in over three years and now I have to learn new technology and reset my speed dials and get my nice ring tones again. I resisted because my phone was perfectly good - a perfectly good dinosaur that is - but I was at the store with my daughter and she got the Samsung Intensity with the slide keyboard for texting.

Once I get to a place where I can ...

- Workshop report – overall, I'm pleased. There were between 20 and 25 people, which is an excellent turnout considering it was Valentine's Day weekend, a holiday weekend, and Speed Week. My GPS was about 92.7% reliable. My Google Map directions didn't give me the same route, so I made the decision to listen to my GPS lady instead of having to refer to a written printout. Actually, using that GPS ...

- Happy Friday everyone. I’ve been looking at my next pile of books to polish up and get into the land of the published. This is my FBI thriller series that starts off with a book currently called Mirror Lake. In comparison with the other titles in the series, this is pretty docile and a little boring.

It was only four years ago that I turned to writing novels, the first of which was published last January (In the Realm of Eden). When my ...
