Blog postI read a lot. And by read, I mean I listen to audiobooks. I usually scroll the best sellers list on Amazon and hope something pops up that looks interesting… something that I haven’t read before. Sometimes it’s rough… I read so much, that finding good material is like finding a clean bathroom in a frat house.
The other day I was walking through a Barnes and Noble, and a title that caught my eye in the New Releases section…. WIN, by Harlan Coben. I picked it up and it turned out to be -

Last week I had a much-needed getaway. It’s been harder to get out of town, but we decided on getting a cabin through Airbnb, and go someplace, like Estes Park.
The hiking/views were great, the cabin… not so much.
I took my laptop, planning on doing a little writing. But plans change. When we got to the cabin it was directly on a busy highway, and there was a small patch of dirt next to the highway (in front of the cabin), where we were supposed to park our car. -
Blog postI don’t like the cold weather. The last 3 days it was -8, and that’s too cold for me. So, I realize I need to look for the pros of the winter season in order for me to get on with it.
Here’s what I came up with:
More time to work, with fewer distractions.
Time to get caught up on cleaning out my sock drawer.
An excuse to buy a new winter coat.
Enjoying the fireplace I put in my refurbished basement.
Watching my dogs roll in the snow.

Blog postAs you all know by now, I love my dogs. Sammi is our 6-year-old golden retriever and besides being unusually shy, she is pretty typical for her breed… mischievous, and adorable. And like most goldens, she loves toys… of the stuffed variety.
She especially likes to grab one when she is about to greet someone, a peace offering.
When we go on walks she leaves her toys at home. There are lots of scents, other people and dogs, trees, and other things to keep her occupied. Yesterday -
Blog postWelcome, 2021. It’s been an interesting year. I’m usually a pretty upbeat person, but 2020 was a tough one. Wouldn’t it be nice to turn on the news and hear more positive and a little less negative?
I, for one, am happy to say goodbye to the past 12 months. GOODBYE.
I’m not much for resolutions, but this year, I would definitely like to travel more. As a writer, I rely on travel, seeing new places, and meeting new people as a way to gain a new perspective, which helps with my -
Blog postHi Everybody,
First off, I’m sorry that I haven’t written a post in a while. A lot has happened…. A pandemic, racial unrest, an uncertain economy, and a new election. Through all of it, I’ve still been writing, kicking out a book every 3 to 4 months. My wife, Kim, lost her job after COVID hit and is now doing the marketing for my books.
Even though it’s approaching the middle of November, I kind of feel like it’s the beginning of a new year. And, I, for one, would like to do bet -
Blog postI get asked this ALL THE TIME . . . What is my favorite book, out of all the MWM books I’ve written? It’s a tuff question to answer. I like all my books for different reasons.
But, for the sheer fun factor, I guess it would have to be the mostly unread, undiscovered, Lone Star Renegades. A group of high school kids get abducted when Earth is invaded by aliens. But this is no YA book – the gang can curse and swear (like real high schoolers), there’s relentless bullying, and there’s irrev -
Blog postIt comes before the floodwaters—before the floodgates are crested and toppled. Its start is insignificant, like a trickle of water that grows in volume and breadth, cautiously making its way into a dry and barren desert. Obstacles: Rocks, unforeseen elevations, skeletal remains … This is the start—the emergence, the burgeoning of a great idea. The genesis of your next, unstoppable, manuscript.

Blog postAs a Sci-Fi writer, I’ve lately found it uniquely satisfying to write about my present hometown—Castle Rock, Colorado. When I first contemplated on penning a story that would take place in this small rural town where I live, my main motivation was the time and energy it would save me from having to research out some other more distant location. For instance, my supernatural spy novel, Mad Powers, primarily took place in Washington, DC. I’d spent a week there, along with my wife, scouting out
