This, my friends, is my post to profess my love to Maria and acknowledge the bittersweet mix of joy and grief that thirty years of shared memories bring. We recently lost someone Maria had grown close to over the years—her sister, whose name I’ll keep private out of respect for her wishes. She was a complicated person, but Maria managed to break through that tough exterior and unlock the deep love inside. That loss, along with other unexpected departures from our wider circle, forced us to...

There’s a first time for everything, even in the RV world. For five and a half, almost six years, Maria and I have traveled through and stayed in many states across the U.S. Every summer season, I land a job somewhere that I want to explore, immerse myself in, and become a part of, and this year, as most of you know, we landed in Bar Harbor, Maine. I worked at the Hampton by Hilton for the past three and a half months. I’ve met several awesome young people who I connected with, and who have...

Anamnesis, what does it mean? Recently, a co-worker asked me a question I’d never considered, If you could name this season of your life, this year, this summer, this exact moment, what would it be? As a writer, I jumped at the chance to find the perfect word. We’ve visited Bar Harbor on two separate occasions now, and we often find ourselves reflecting on our past. That past doesn't anchor us, it sprinkles our minds with doses of inspiration, nostalgia, and the story of our life together....

So, I’m a sucker for scary houses. I love haunted houses, or at least the idea of them. They spark my imagination and fuel my creative streak, and my time in Maine has been no exception. I’ve been driving around, scouting some incredible areas, and capturing the local style in photos to share. Yes, the Shaker shingles are an absolute staple out here on the East Coast, but there's a catch, almost every single old building I’ve come across is occupied. Yes, occupied. Whether a place is buried...

This blog is going to be a little different. By now, just about everyone who follows my social media posts knows I finished writing my newest book. Yes, another book. It’s titled Soulscapes and Sacrifice. If you’re into psychological horror with cultish, serial killer vibes, you’re probably going to get into this one. More on that soon, but first, let's head back to Maine as the summer season kicks into gear. I want to talk about inspiration for a second. The main reason I love to write...

Maria and I settled into our site. To be honest, the whole tourist-attraction draw of Bar Harbor is pretty low on our list. We’ve been here before—once back in 1993, and again in 2013 with our four youngest children, my parents, and cousins who brought their own self-contained fifth wheel. Fast forward to the now. We pulled into our site, and I went through my usual checklist: level the Mothership, hook up the sewer, and get the internet flying so we could stream. Then, we both tackled some...

At the end of April, we pulled into Maine after a spell at Horseneck Beach in Massachusetts. I try to make a habit of staying at state parks when we aren't boondocking at a rest stop; they’re usually cheaper, more scenic, and provide a beautiful setting to sit back and really take in the area. The mission during our four-day stay in Massachusetts was simply to wait for our site to be prepared in Bar Harbor. It was chilly, but a nice, scenic pause. As we drove a few hours north toward Maine,...

I’ve been in Maine now for just over five weeks, and soon, I’ll have some blog posts to entertain each of you (sites seen, food eaten, and soooo much more) also a potential new release in the fall, but now I talk about Karma. It’s been a month since my release of Karma Cop. My life has been busy working for the season, seeing some sights, and squeezing writing in on days when I’m not too tired, or on my one day off a week. It’s available as a signed paperback, print, eBook (amazon and...

It's been over a month since I've posted anything here on the blog, so here it goes, the real life, the real feels, and a deep dive into my life with all the ambiguity. Thanks for the read. Maria and I do this thing called life together. We're alive, and our hearts hurt sometimes. We still think of our past and our scions—many of whom shed their connection with us without a second thought, a blink of an eye, or an explanation—and how we have loved wholeheartedly, no matter the situation. We...
