Real Life Scary Story
While at my book reading yesterday at A Readers Corner Bookstore, a discussion broke out about real life scares. Spooky kind of stuff. And I have such a story. I was a teenager at the time, but don't remember my age. It was at night and the rest of my family were gone. It was …

Gravity Review (8/10)
Let me start by offering a full disclosure. I love Sandra Bullock. I don't like her, I love her. From the first time I saw her smile in Demolition Man I was hooked. Through her other movies such as While You Were Sleeping, Speed, Hope Floats and many others, my love of her acting continued. She's even my …

Archon Day 2
Wow. What a great day. The crowds were large, the sales hot and the fun non stop. During every convention, I hand out a ton of post cards with info on The Hand of God, and a lot of people tell you they will be back later to buy the book, but you never see them …
Archon, Day 1
I arrived at Archon, the SciFi and Fantasy convention, just outside of St. Louis, Missouri on a beautiful, warm sunny day. The staff had me badged up and on my way in short order. My table ended up near the back wall, which made the walk to bring in all the stuff, a short walk. …
Sports Weekend From Hell
Hmmm. Kentucky loses to Florida in football. O.K. I get it. They were supposed to lose to Florida. But then the Bungles, er, Bengals lose to the Browns. That wasn't supposed to happen. And then my beloved Reds, my all time favorite sports team, loses three in a row to the Pirates, which means the …
