  • Mini-Musing 8/1/16–More Authors Found!

    I definitely need to go through my hundreds of books more often.  I found more authors who’s books I either don’t recall reading (probably because I hadn’t) or books where their were sequels that I lost track of.  But you know it’s like finding buried treasure.  Yes, I have THAT MANY books and my TBR…

  • Musings 7/10/16: These are a Few of my Favorite…Authors!

    I thought since my last Musings was about the scarier aspect of the business, I thought I’d do something in contrast.  So with this Musing I’m going to discuss one of the best things about this business — US!  Authors I mean.  Hell, there wouldn’t be a business without us, right?  Anyway, I thought maybe…

  • Mini-Musing –This is a Scary Business

    So I’m cleaning my office today, despite being on stay-cation.  Trust me, it’s messy and needs it.  Now last time I did this I mentioned on Facebook that I came across some books I don’t recall purchasing and/or reading.  I guess it happens when you have almost 400 books in your office alone and keep…

  • Musing 5/30/16–OK, so I bent the rules a bit.

    First off, have a great Memorial Day everyone and remember to take the time to honor the brave men and women who protect our freedoms!  I have an important article posted on my Facebook page but here is it again: Memorial Day 2016: In defense of memorials to our military heroes.  Read it and look…

  • Musings 5/15/16–Just an Old Fashioned Update

    It’s been way too long since I posted something but I can’t promise that will change in the future.  Is anyone reading this blog at all?  I think maybe once in a great while I get a comment.  Of course I’m always appreciative when that happens.  I’ve just been a bit discouraged lately when it’s…

  • MUSINGS 3/20/16 ~ Writing The Way I See It Part 3: Twitter Pitch Contests.

    Tomorrow is the first day of spring and that damn groundhog has some serious explaining to do.  After a week of wonderfully warm weather we get hit again with freezing temperatures.  I have a mountain of gardening catalogs sitting in my office and my desk at work and I can’t do a thing with them. …

  • Mini-Musings 7/23/15 ~ Wow…just…wow.

    I know I should be working on my school work right now but I’m tired of dealing with the idiots.  I don’t want to not speak my opinion but after awhile you realize there’s no point in continuing.  I’m just tired of people stepping on me whenever my opinion doesn’t agree with them. And right…

  • Musings 05/30/15 ~ "Are you pondering what I’m pondering?"

    Finally back to the local Barnes and Noble after — well I’m not sure, weeks?  And I’d like to take a moment to give a major props to Starbucks for all of their yummy foods and desserts! OK, back to Musing.  On the shevles I actually found a mixture of epic fantasy and contemporary science-fiction, and…
