I can’t decide. LiveJournal or Blogger. I’ve been using Blogger, but like some of the LiveJournal features better. For now, I’m doing both, but don’t have LiveJournal linked on my Web site. Here’s what I posted on my Blogger today. If you have any thoughts on which is better, I’d love to hear them. If […]

The big news today is that I have a new agent. My previous agent is a very nice lady and I wish her all the best, but I felt I wasn’t getting the attention I needed. So I’ve moved on. I have a verbal agreement and will be getting a contract soon from Lantz Powell […]

So, I finally attended my first sci-fi convention this past weekend. Now, I’ve been to HorrorFind twice now, in Baltimore in 2003 and in Phoenix this past October (wait, I didn’t blog on that, did I? I’m soooo far behind!) and I’ve been to OWFI conventions and other general writers’ cons, but had avoided those […]

I had lunch on Friday with a friend who recently jumped the political fence and became a hippy Democrat. She’s also a writer and a very good editor … and one of the few known readers of this blog. The planets must have been out of kilter on Friday because she and I found ourselves […]

As part of my job I often have to go to lectures held on campus. Sometimes I look forward to them, sometimes not. Last night was one that I wasn’t sure about. Brian Greene came to campus to talk about string theory and the discoveries leading up to the idea for the theory. I’ve read […]

No, I’m not talking about a disease or rash, though it is rather contagious. In fact, I can’t remember having a pop song stuck in my head like this since disco was cool. Lord, I’m old. Anyway, a friend of mine has a new song out and she needs your support. Back in May, Natalie […]

I don’t publicize this blog much. Part of the reason for that is because my beliefs are not popular among the folks I call my friends and co-workers. Not that I hide what I think, I just don’t wave it in their faces. Sometimes, though, I do have to bite my tongue (or fingers) really […]

Sometimes people are just so stupid it boggles the mind. The past couple of weeks here in central Oklahoma have seen me screaming at my car radio too many times as one act of stupidity after another is reeled off. I’m thinking of four news stories in particular, all with something in common. What could […]

It’s been a while since I last posted here. About a month and a half, as a matter of fact. I have a little news to report. Most important, I think, is the publication of my novella Seven Days in Benevolence in e-book form from Double Dragon Publishing. This haunted house story is about a […]

I grew up knowing most of the Bible stories, including, of course, the crucifixion of Jesus. But, I also grew up with, first, a children’s Bible that had virtually no detail for any story, then the awful King James Version that not many can understand today because of its archaic language. I’ve since changed versions, […]
