I’ve never thought of myself as particularly good at writing one kind of scene versus another, but one thing I’ve been told consistently by readers and reviewers is that they really enjoy my fight scenes. So I guess I’m pretty good at writing fight scenes. With that in mind, today I’ll be sharing some advice …

Review: Squid Game
I’m usually not up to date on whatever is trending on Netflix or Hulu (I still have no plans whatsoever to watch Tiger King or the sequel they’re apparently filming). But I’d heard the show Squid Game talked about on Facebook, then as I lay in bed looking for something to fall asleep to watch …

Yesterday was a big day for the Chicago Bears and specifically their rookie QB Justin Fields! Coming off a brutal loss last week in which he was sacked 9 times, Fields went out and put up 24 points and over 200 yards passing in his first career win! So to celebrate that, I’m offering all …
When it Rains it Pours, pt. 2
As I mentioned yesterday, not only did my garage door break down but my dog appears to have hurt his leg. For the good news, the vet thinks he has a compacted knee and they said to basically make him rest for a week, confine him to one room so he doesn’t move around too …
When it Rains it Pours
They say trouble comes in three’s, but I sure hope not because two troubles after another is enough. This weekend my garage door broke, both the cables snapped and I think the torsion spring broke as well. I was hoping to fix it myself but everywhere I looked online stressed do not do this yourself! …
Querying Again!
That’s right, I am once again wading into the black and stormy seas of querying, where countless brave, hopeful authors have floundered. I’ve sent six emails over the weekend and I’ve got another three to send sometime this week. So here’s hoping maybe one of these will bite and give “Creed: Mandate of Heaven” a …

For those of you who don’t know, I am a huge fan of the Chicago Bears football team. They’ve been without a superstar quarterback for basically 70 years, but this summer that appears to have changed when they drafted Justin Fields. He appropriately chose to wear #1 on his jersey, and this week he’s making …
Review: The Borgias
I recently finished watching HBO’s The Borgias on Netflix, a historical drama centered around the controversial Pope Alexander VI, aka Rodrigo Borgia, as he ascends to the Papal throne and then does everything in his power for the next 10 years to defend it. The Borgia family has long been known as a family of …

20 Years Later
Do you remember where you were? I do. I was standing under a tree at the edge of the parking lot at school, my fourth grade class getting ready to come in from recess on that breezy Tuesday morning. I didn’t even know what ‘hijacking’ meant. How do you hijack a plane? Eventually I went …
