Sometimes, you simply have to take a breath and clean up your world. Two things have happened in the last few weeks that took up a considerable amount of my time and energy. The first, of course, was cleaning up the financial books and getting them to the accountant for our tax year. Because I […]
Ah, the joys of being a modern writer. The next ebook is well into the second draft and I’m happy with the way it’s going. I hope to have it done by the end of this month and off to the editor for feedback. Over 100,000 words I note. I’ve always been a goal-setting kind […]
There were two things the three people at the desk could see through the window into the soundproofed basement room. The first was a shining microphone stand supporting a thick microphone. The second was a young woman. A thick headset held her waist-length, black waves of hair out of her eyes. She wore no […]

The room was just another government office. Its pale, institutional-green, painted walls contained no windows, but it did have an old metal fan slowly turning back and forth in a vain attempt to freshen the air. The door appeared to have a lock, but the key was lost after the second world war and had […]
The only question worth asking is, “Will it, can it, wake up?” muttered Merlin. His car left several miles behind him, Merlin had hiked across the wild Welsh country to find this exact spot and now he stood staring out over a quiet welcoming ocean. “As good a day as I could ask for,” he […]
This fell out of my word processor one morning. I had to turn the computer upside down to see if there was anything else lurking in there. One just never knows… ##### Nobody would have believed it had they seen or heard the conversation between … well, let’s call them George and Fred. They didn’t have […]
Merlin, we see so many negative stories in the news and social media is full of friends raving about this or that. Is there any hope for the future in your opinion? ##### “Let me cut to the chase on this one rather than letting you hang out there. Of course, there’s hope. Of course, […]
