Happy Father’s Day readers. And Happy Juneteenth. I could go into some pithy or eloquent blog post about fathers about now…. or write something on the new Federal holiday of Juneteenth. But I am not going to today. It’s not what is on my mind. But I wanted to acknowledge those two holidays since they […]

Edits and Edits and More Edits
Like any good writer should, I do a great deal of editing. Like any good writer, I also hate the editing process. It’s often boring. I’d rather be creating works instead of reading and re-reading and re-reading and re-reading my stuff. But edits are needed. I spend a great deal of time creating new content. […]
Belonging
Like everyone does, I remember feeling like I didn’t fit in when I was a kid. I often felt like a square peg, as the saying goes. I wanted to be a puzzle piece and find a way to fit in. I was too skinny. I wore glasses. I spoke with a lisp. I had […]
Summer Break
Summer break is upon us, at least here in the area I call my little swath of the Midwest. Kids in traditional schools are done for the summer. So are the teachers, many of them friends of mine from my substitute teaching days. It’s been a tough year for both students and teachers alike. I […]
Life
There are many quotes on life, I have come to realize. After all, John Lennon once penned that “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” And Forrest Gump’s Mama always said “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.” Bob Marley asked if we […]

Summer is coming
Dandelions and Creeping Charlie both are alive and well in the yard outside my abode in my little swath of the Midwest. The trees are awash with fresh verdant leaves and while the temperatures have still been moving a bit like a yo-yo, they are climbing up the thermometer as they do so. It can […]
Milestones are arbitrary
I know, like everyone else, I’ve likely spent a good portion of my life being compared to. I have compared my life to others in the past. I try not to do so now, since well, I know better. It happens even though I try to not let it happen. But guess what, I am […]
Perspective
I recently flew back home to my little swath of the Midwest after visiting family in the Golden State. My flight originated at Los Angeles International Airport, known as LAX. There are a number of airports I could have chosen to fly from, since I was visiting Orange County. Yet, I decided to fly from […]
Newest Novella Released!
I’d like to take a moment to announce that the newest novella in my Portals Series has been released. This one is titled Little Sprite and was a fun story to write. I don’t usually do this, but I wanted to explain where one of the ideas of this story came from, since I cannot […]
