Where The Light Beckons
When I started writing short stories about Merlin's secrets and magic, I found a great deal of interest in the stories I shared with readers. I'm going to post many of them here for you to read but my readers told me they preferred to read them in email or in free ebook formats. I suspect you'll be
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 […]
I want to apologize for writing this complete story in English. It clearly loses something in translation when I take the stories and the words of the individuals out of their own language. And I must say it has been a very difficult exercise to translate all of the different languages into English. For example, […]
Well, it’s been an interesting year in my writing world and I thought I’d share a few things with you. As an aside, did you ever notice how folks sometimes use the word “interesting” when they’re not sure what other word to use? My writing life has been mostly about writing short newspaper and magazine […]
Dear Readers Well, it was a crazy few months behind the scenes but I trust that frenzied look on my face didn’t transmit through the website or email. Our family hit the very highs and the very lows this spring and it’s been a roller coaster of emotions as we lost one of our own. […]
Dear Friends Every now and then I like to summarize what’s happening with Merlin and getting things recorded so you can get to know this fascinating individual I confess there are times I’m enthralled and times I’m deathly afraid when we’re in the same room. It’s an amazing experience. The Website I rebuilt it. Mostly […]
Somebody asked me where I got the reference books and notes about Merlin because many of the points in the Origins book appeared to be historically accurate and that meant some studying or reading about ancient or medieval history. It’s difficult to list all the books I have in my collection dealing with the Celts […]
I’m told some readers enjoy reading author reports -? about the “back end” of the writer’s working life.? I’m told it’s like peering into the writer’s mind by some readers. Well, good luck if you peer into mine and get lost in there. I have a hard enough time some days figuring out what’s going […]
I received an email from a reader indicating she thought the short novella about Merlin was “dark”. I’ve thought about that for some time, and I invite you to consider some of these things: What if you had lived for over 14,000 years? What if the only way you could have survived in those early […]
I’ve been consistently asked two questions over the years. 1) Where do you get your ideas and 2) how do you organize your books.? Let’s deal with the first in this post. Where Do I Get My ideas? I could give you a mystical answer – something like…
