My author journey is something of an embarrassment. I've always been labeled as a "good writer": In high school my writing earned high marks, I used my writing ability to win wildly competitive university scholarships and my coworkers consistently asked me to improve their writing. Despite these clues, it didn't occur to me to develop this talent for DECADES! I still wonder how I missed this truth about myself. My next mistake was thinking that being good at writing equaled writing a good novel. In my first attempt, the words flowed well enough, but the story stank! I was stunned at how bad it was. I had so much to learn, so I rolled up my sleeves and got to learning. Here's a little "inside baseball": authors as a group of people are fanta ...more

Albert Einstein
“Never memorize something that you can look up.”

Carl Sagan
“Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.”
Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

Theodore Roosevelt
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt
