FRIDAY REVIEW

Here’s the review quickly. Though its a review of the last week, it’s actually a review of the last six or so. I have had to go up against a flair-up of my multiple sclerosis, a stroke, weeks of physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. It all culminated in a surgical procedure on my right carotid artery. Simultaneously, my new friend, Substack cut off my four newsletters without answering my requests for reasons. My…

Why Do Authors Need a Mailing List? New Writer Questions #2

What’s the deal about mailing lists?   Let me lay it all out for you.   Some people think newsletters are spammy or commercial, or just a plain waste of their inbox room and resources.   A lot of folk get too many emails and newsletters already.

My New Year Resolutions

Well, it’s the second week of 2022.  Holidays, family visits, and snow have left the first week in shambles.  My perennial first resolution of each year has become to forgive myself.  OK, moving on. You guys who know me understand what a huge proponent I am of taking things one step at a time.  Baby steps.  A bite at a time. Incrementalism. The way I am coming to deal with both my new resolutions and…

Seven Books this Summer

Thanks for asking! I am working on seven books this summer, two of which are fiction, and the other five non-fiction. They are ALL going to be equally GREAT! Yes, unlike my previous books, like the three-book series on the Imposter Syndrome.

PJ’s zucchini, beans and cornbread dinner – the way writers eat!

A couple of you have asked me what life is like being an author.  Of course, the answer to that is easy to show.  Writers eat.  We sometimes sleep.  And often, we write. Writers eat! We do seem to put a larger-than-life emphasis on the eating part.  And my healthy diet is strictly due to my lovely wife, PJ.  So, I will point out a few additional food images.  E-mail Updates Subscription with Gift Card…
