A Very Zombie Holiday

It is nice to finally be ticking some of the projects off the list. Keepers is still not done. I haven’t finished the final edit of The Darklands book 2. I am about two weeks later than I wanted to be with finishing up my zombie dad short story collection but at long last I [...]

The Shadow Men Published

I was never really sure where the whole publish myself thing was going to end up. I still don’t know. It was single-handedly the scariest moment of my life when I hit the publish button for A Very Zombie Holiday. I knew there wasn’t going to be a sudden rush to snap up my books [...]

Yes, people, I am a glutton for punishment. Today Whispers of the Dead crossed over into the published world at Amazon. It will soon be available at Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, iTunes, and a bunch of other places (I will post the links as the book goes live). This is my third book out and [...]

Editing Burn Out

Alright it is time to come clean. I burned myself out again. Way too many candles going at the same time. After the completion of Incarnators I had finished back to back novels with no breaks. It has really bogged my editing down. You throw in the fact I was a little lost in my [...]

The Agony of Defeat

As George Martin likes to say after the NY Giants lose, life is meaningless. I remember as a kid watching The Wide World of Sports and watching the skier wipe out as the announcer talked about the agony of defeat. For sports fans this is so true. Things can be so good at one moment [...]

Alex Smith More Than A Manager

I am a big football fan and when I say big I mean geeky big. When I was ten years old I can remember having an argument with the man who lived next door about why Ray Guy was the most important player on the Raiders. I then overwhelmed him with stats about Guy’s ability [...]

Kindle In The Classroom

I recently read an article in the New York Times about teachers in Idaho resisting their states push of technology into their classrooms. A lot of the article made it seem like once again teachers were afraid of being replaced by a computer and/or losing money to technology which could have been spent on salaries. [...]

Shame On You, Mr. President

I have taken a long sabbatical away from writing about politics. I had gotten to a point where everything was just driving me insane thinking about it. With my weight gain, my blood pressure was way up and I was sure I was about to blow a gasket at any point. Well, now that the [...]

My Brain is a Jumble

My brain tends to be all over the place. A big jumble of thoughts and ideas. I have to work really hard to keep my concentration and focus on the tasks which I have set out for myself. Right now I have only two big ones which need to get done. I have to finish [...]

The Biggest Loser

I know I have been writing about my weight loss a lot lately. I hope it hasn’t been incredibly boring for my regular readers. The truth is I just do better when I hold myself accountable. Writing about it and sharing my struggles makes me stay the course when I am sometimes at my lowest. [...]

Principal Not

In my school district we have this wacky thing called teacher in charge. This is code for putting some idiot in charge of the school when the principal is out. At my school I am that idiot. This is like putting the Joker in charge of Arkham Asylum. I really don’t know how I became [...]

The Scale Is My Friend

Today I did the dreaded thing. I got on a scale. I have been putting it off for a lot of different reasons but I admit one of them was fear. I figured now was as good a time as any. I have now exercised for at least an hour for 41 straight days. I [...]

8 Paws to Less Stress

These last two days have been a little stressful at work. My principal is out all week leaving me in charge. I don’t really like being in charge for this many days in a row. I start to stress about teachers who I don’t think are taking care of their own business. It makes me [...]
