Isn’t it Strange How Important Music Really Is?
I hate to be one of “those dads,” but I am so glad that Christmas vacation ends in two days and Ash can get back to school. I hate hate hate telling him that I can’t play with him and have to work.

Another New Year Is Here, 2016 Edition
Happy New Year’s. Well, 2015 was an interesting year. We moved to Texas. Not just Texas, but West Texas, miles from anything fun and interesting. It wasn’t something we really expected or wanted, but it was because my wife was able to get a promotion at her job by accepting the move. It is supposed to […]

Being Honest About Slow 2016 Start
I read a lot of other writer’s websites. I also like to read websites from writers, actors, and directors that I respect. One of these names is Wil Wheaton, who some know as Wesley on Star Trek: The Next Generation, but is also someone who has done a lot of cool stuff over his career. […]

The Day My Life Turned Upside Down
It is kind of strange how you can be just moving through life and then something happens that just completely throws everything out of whack, changes everything in one instant, and makes you reevaluate everything – and I mean everything – in your life.

Don’t Take No For An Answer: The Brian Bosworth Story
I am not a Tim Tebow fan. Yeah, there is actually more to the story than this. Basically, Tim Tebow is trying out for Major League Baseball. Like most people, I used this as a chance to make jokes about Tebow and laugh at the entire ludicrous goal of doing the hardest thing there is […]

The Start of a New Journey: Follow Me As I Create ‘Fallen Star’
Well, let’s start out by letting me admit to something about my upcoming novel Fallen Star. After winning last year’s NaNoWriMo with 50,000 words on Fallen Star, I have failed when it comes to completing this year’s edition of the writing competition. And the good news is that I am ok with that. My goal with NaNoWriMo […]
