Over Night Reports
I put "The Darkness" up on Amazon yesterday and it went live about 9 PM EST. It sold 14 copies overnight. Not bad, not bad at all. Sign in to see full entry.

What To Do, What To Do... Hmmm
Having finished "The Darkness," I was looking through my bone pile of story ideas and found three I liked. Problem is, at least one of them would have to be listed over in the "Mature Audience" section here, centering on a girl I with whom I went to college that became a prostitute, the second of...

The Darkness Finds Its Ending
Whew! I had a nice day today and capped it off by setting down a hammering out about 4000 words to finish "The Darkness." Other than one bathroom break and a couple stops to do some historical checking, I never stopped for about four and a half hours. I had three possible endings in mind as I...

A Beautiful Day
After a busy day and evening yesterday, I intend to spend this beautiful Michigan Sunday afternoon walking in the woods. Saturdays all the way though about 11 AM Sunday morning are always busy for me. I have worked for a 3/8th race track in western central Michigan for over 23 years, being the...

Give Me A Voice?
In response to a lament that I wasn't getting auditions as fast as I had hoped for an audio book, Annicita had asked me if I had tried a particular site. I had not and I checked it out. Here is my response to her: To get your audio book on Audible and thus Amazon, I-Tunes, and a couple other sites,... Sign in to see full entry.
Rants and Scribbles
In all of the things that have gone on around here the past few days, both good and bad... you know the stuff... Life happens?... I've fell behind on "The Darkness." I normally like to stay about two days of posting ahead just in case something happens, I can keep a steady flow of words but the last... Sign in to see full entry.

"Dave" Springs To Life!
I had been sending sections of "Say 'Hello' to Dave!" to my editor as I finished them and about 3PM EST, I received an email with a contract to sign. They are already working on formatting it and I should have proof galleys within the week and my first copy of it by mid August. They also liked the... Sign in to see full entry.
Even Fishier?
After some quiet urging by Kabu, I think I'm going to open up a new section under 'Hobbies' about the care of aquarium fish. I've had tropical fish for a long time and even had majority ownership of a petshop that specialized in fish, snakes, and reptiles. No dogs or cats. I'm a huge dog lover but I...

Something's Fishy Here
Now I've thought this before but they just might have our Internet restored. They found a bad spot in the wiring going down the road a bit and replaced about 230 feet of suspect wire. They also discovered that the ground was not right, thus making the modem get unusually hot. The more technology... Sign in to see full entry.

Charter Internet? Whereforth Are Ye?
Our stupid Internet went down again late Saturday night and I am making my posts via a hotspot off my Verizon enabled Kindle. They 'promise' to get 'right back out there by 5PM TUESDAY!' Crack team there Billy... top notch. I called them earlier today and promised that we were looking for a new... Sign in to see full entry.
