Things change.

May 12, 2011

For as long as I can remember, I’ve liked that expression. Few things in this life stay the same. If I were to give advice about writing, which I suppose I’m doing with this blog, I would focus on having enough confidence in your work to let it grow and change beyond the ideas in [...]

No really, I’m a writer!

May 2, 2011

Ever sat at the airport and watched people pass by? It’s only natural, I suppose. As a writer, I tend to take things one step farther. (Or further, to those who prefer it.) Worry not, I’m no stalker. I simply test myself sometimes by mentally describing a person as though they are a character who [...]

11-52 Slater

March 31, 2011

In my novel, Pursuit: A Tale of Bishop’s Island, a character with questionable motives gives the address of 11-52 Slater as an industrial park facility that serves as a pivotal location in Ryan Rayburn’s hunt for his wife. Random? Nope. A mix of devious foreshadowing and some good old fashioned American history come together to [...]

August 1, 2010

A few of you who’ve kept up with my work by way of direct communication or via some of my press releases are aware that I’m presently at work on a new novel. Ultimately, I had set a calendar date for myself to be completed….and then there was the faint sound of laughter overhead. As [...]

For All Mankind

March 16, 2010

“You’re all that stands in your way.” For the past few years that quotation has been my personal motto and one which I’ve found applies to many situations in life. From the inner voice that feeds fear and defeat to the realization that ‘believing the lie’ fell on us, I think we’ve all had moments [...]
