I seem to be a human barometer sometimes. When a storm’s on the way, I get sinus headaches. When the weather’s shifting or the seasons are changing, I get headaches or pains in my joints. In fact, that’s what’s going on right now. My left knee is hurting, and an old running injury in my [...]

Right now, I’m between big writing projects, and I’m feeling guilty because of it. It’s been two months since I finished my most recent long-form job, a graphic novel.

Often, it takes what little [...]

A story of mine appears in the new anthology, Edison’s Frankenstein, from the fine folks at PS Publishing in England! The story, “Snowman’s Chance in Hell,” flips the human/snowman relationship on its head, giving new meaning to the term “snow blind.” You can order a copy of this exquisite deluxe signed hardcover right here from [...]

My 90-year-old father-in-law, Bob Snavely, returned home from the hospital today for the first time in nearly two weeks. He was hospitalized for emergency surgery after experiencing extreme abdominal pain. It turned out he had a deadly bowel obstruction and needed to have about 50 percent of his colon removed. It was quite an ordeal, [...]

It’s true! Today was my first day in the pool for the season! Talk about an early start! Of course, the only reason I was in there was to fix a pair of tears in the liner…but it still counts, doesn’t it? I mean, the water was up over my knees. So what if it [...]

Now, we’ve got a weekend stretching out ahead with time to unwind and regain our bearings. Correction: with time to start chipping away [...]
