New Novel, Return of the Shadow Crow – Coming Soon! Read a Free Excerpt Now!

It’s been a while. June 14, 2015 to be exact. That was the last time I published a new release, Any Flavor Jellybeans but Black, a harrowing tale of young love, mortality and candy. But that’s about to change!

The arrival of our twins in 2014 greatly altered the amount of writing time I could easily set aside, but since they’ve grown from infants to young boys, I have been able to get back at the pen, so to speak.

Atticus Finch Is not a “Bad Guy” in Go Set a Watchman

This one has been a long time coming, folks. I apologize for the lack of timeliness and the length, but there is a lot to say. Here we go!

The day before Go Set a Watchman hit shelves, I was in a department store waiting in the checkout line, only to overhear the woman in front of me talking about the book.

“They say it isn’t any good,” she said. “Atticus Finch is a bad guy.”

Not only is that a very poor way to evaluate the merits of a book, but it simply isn’t true.

As I began reading the...

Go Set a Watchman – Not a Sequel, a Glimpse at the Literary Process

Go Set a Watchman

wikipedia.org


Despite my most diligent efforts to avoid spoilers online, I caught a glimpse of a few Go Set a Watchman leaks. Namely, these two: “Atticus Finch is a racist and Tom Robinson was acquitted.” In my opinion, as far as Mockingbird is concerned, one of these is just as false as the other.

I think there is a good reason for these inconsistencies. To Kill a Mockingbird was written after Watchman, at the suggestion of someone affiliated with publishing. In other words, as Lee wrote Moc...

John Hurt – Doctor Who?

I just recently found time to sit down and watch the much-anticipated season finale of Doctor Who. Man, did it deliver! It presented an entertaining show that left me with several questions after I was done watching. That type of thought-provoking entertainment is what I love – and there is a serious lack of it in my opinion.


So, the big question is: Who is John Hurt’s incarnation of the Doctor? Is he the twelfth Doctor? Is he the actual ninth Doctor who ended the Time War and regenerated into...

Lancaster House, by Taylor Dean: A Haunting Love Story for Valentine’s Day


I picked up Lancaster House by Taylor Dean from the Kindle Store on a whim. I read the synopsis and thought it sounded like an intriguing “haunted house” story – plus it had a cool cover. I must say, I was not disappointed with my purchase. Lancaster House had twists and turns that I didn’t see coming, and an intelligent, reliable, logical narrator – which is more than I can say for most paranormal romance novels that I’ve read. Yes, I said romance.


Allow me to begin by saying: I’m not a huge...

50 Shades of Bateman

Christian Grey of the hit series 50 Shades of Grey is a 27-year-old businessman, who is very wealthy, lives an extravagant lifestyle, and has overly-aggressive tendencies (especially towards women) that some would consider psychotic. Does that sound like anyone else you may have read about? Or watched in a movie? I’ll get to that in a moment.


I’m a firm believer that you shouldn’t knock something until you’ve tried it (I know, dangerous statement in a blog that talks abouta bondage / erotica n...

Superior Spider-Man – It’s Just the Beginning…

>> SPOILERS <<


Like most Spider-Man fans that I know, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the new Superior Spider-Man #1. ASM #700 left me with a thirst that Avenging Spider-Man #15.1 just didn’t quench. Amazing Spider-Man #698 made me say, “Oh sh*t!” ASM #699 made me say, “No, Dan Slott wouldn’t. Not like that!” And ASM #700 left me stunned, saying simply, “Wow, he did it.”


For me, Superior Spider-Man #1 was the most anticipated comic in a long time. I knew deep down that Dan Slott and Marvel wou...
