I have two more local events (May10 at Thrid Place Book in Lake Forest Park at 7 PM and University Bookstore in Mill Creek's Towne Center on May 18 at 6 PM). The reception to the book and my game, Prisoner's Fate, has been fun.

It's amazing how unpredictable the ship's captain and the prison officials were when it cam Read more of this blog post »

Hi Paddy,
I read your comments about Misty Copeland and agree that she very much deserves the promotion to principal dancer, as well as the accolades she has received. I saw the 60 Minutes spot on her when it was first shown. She has an indomitable spirit and so much innate talent! Her hard work and perseverance have served her well. She is a beautiful dancer!
Cheryl Schubert
