  • My New “Collaborative Partner”

    My writing has taken to an uptick which I enjoy.  My 10 year old son Daniel has noticed that I’m writing again and has asked questions about it (“what are you stuck on? what’ s the story about?” And even though I’m sugarcoating medieval style warfare and domestic issues in the interests of pagecount, it…

  • Of Books and Boogers
