I’m going to start with the thing that’s not as much fun as everything else. That’d be the little bit of advice. I have a new book out, which is called How Writers Fail: Analysis and Solutions. The topic is dark, but the book is uplifting, especially if you have some of the issues I’m dealing with here. If you know or if you are […]
Business Musings: The Spectacular Spectacular
Every year when I finish my work on the Holiday Spectacular, Dean asks me if I want to do it again. There’s a variety of reasons why he asks me that question.

Some Holiday Fun
WMG Publishing has started making videos for internet ads. The videos are especially useful on Facebook, or so I’m told. I’m putting together a few of the videos–and I’m no expert. But I’m having fun. Here’s the holiday video. Enjoy!
Business Musings: The Importance of Fiction
September 11, 2001 was a Tuesday. Here on the Oregon Coast, as in New York City, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C., it was a beautiful fall day. Sun out, clear blue sky. And horrors, everywhere. I was in the middle—quite literally—of writing one of my Smokey Dalton novels. Set in another terrible time in American history, those books are emotionally dark, hard to write, and harder, […]
