All of It

A splendid time is guaranteed for all.

A Call to Fellow Artists

Fellow artists, I'm calling out to you. What President Trump's leadership is doing to America is deconstructing it, abusing it, and causing anarchy in the process. Let's be part of changing this together. You’ve seen the murders and aggression in Minneapolis. Two...

A Writer at Home

Many writers work alone. This is refreshing. No office politics and other pettiness, no commute (Atlanta traffic is horrible and leaders won't plan to resolve it), and no bad cafeteria lunches. Instead, I crank up the music, workout (I need to do more), and grill...

New Book: The Book of Endorsements

I published a new book. It officially releases July 2. You can (and please do) pre-order the Kindle version now. The Book of Endorsements: A Ridiculously Short Spiritual Satire Featuring 50+ Glowing Reviews Be holy. That is the entire book. The rest contains more than...

Let’s Think

Most of my writing looks like this. I spend a lot of time thinking, and whether I'm writing a speech, a short story, or a poem, I have a strong sense of how it will go before I hit the keyboard. I could be in my studio, or here, you see me here, in my library. I'm...

A Life in the Air Force

This weekend, a client of mine retired from the US Air Force. I wrote her speech and trained her to deliver it. You don’t know her name, and she wasn’t involved in any famous initiatives. Not directly. She worked behind the scenes supporting those who support those...

Free Storytelling Event

I'll be reading/performing two stories at the Suwanee Arts Fest (Georgia) this weekend. Free. I'd love if you stopped by and introduce yourself. Suwanee Town Center at the Author's Booth. I'll have books to sell (I'm happy to sign). Both stories are adult and...

New Critique Groups Starting

I've got a new thing beginning that the writers among you might be interested in. It's a writing critique group. Essentially, it's a small group of writers offering guided critiques of each other's writing. You will learn from each other, and along the way, be...

The Raging Giant Blue Goldfish

I have a new book available in print. The Raging Giant Blue Goldfish: 22 Short Stories. As book titles go, that's certainly a mouthful. It's a collection of short stories. Almost two dozen. These are the kinds of stories you might tell on the porch. All of them are...

Now and Then

The last Beatles song is being released November 2. Today. This is meaningful to me because, like much of the English speaking world and beyond, I am a Beatles fan. I'm not quite hardcore, but I know most of their catalog and have a solid knowledge of their history....

Vanity Chat-GPT

Have you done a Chat-GPT vanity chat? What’s your take? Is it really you they are talking about? Or, maybe they've not noticed you enough? Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher,vanity of vanities! All is vanity.What does man gain by all the toilat which he toils under...
