Let’s see, it’s been a couple of months since my last post. What have I been doing? A bit of traveling, a bit writing, and a bit of gardening in between. All those bits add up to a lot to catch up on. Here in Charlotte, Spring has sprung. All the birds are twitterpated and […]

I just returned home from a series of long trips. I spent two weeks in Europe (on vacation) and a week in Colorado Springs (business trip). It seems like I’ve been gone forever (I missed sleeping in my own bed). I know there are some world travelers out there who love to be on the […]

So I’m sitting up on Sugar Mountain looking for inspiration. The wife and I came up for the weekend, and I stayed for the rest of the week to try to finish the draft of my latest novel. We had a good time traipsing about over the weekend. The highlight was hiking to the overlook […]

At a writers meeting the other day, someone asked me about my experiences in the military. So I told a couple a stories, and then she asked: “Why don’t you write about that?” It’s a simple question, with a complex answer. I spent six years in the US Navy—1982 to 1988. I was a nuclear […]
