Hey, look….it’s Valentine’s Day! Don’t look too close at the history of this holiday, however, because, well, it doesn’t make that much sense. I guess it makes a little bit of sense. Considering it started as a celebration of Spring, and now it’s a time in which couples use it as an excuse to role…

For the past couple of years, I’ve been struggling with finding time to work on my artistic pursuits. For a while there I was actually able to dig in deep, getting back into playing music, drawing, and really trying to do some incredibly new things with writing. And then I started school, and I found…

As you may be aware, I put it upon myself to finish college a lot earlier than originally expected. Like, six months earlier. And I’m super excited about it. So excited, in fact, that I decided that not only would I finish an additional four courses than I had expected to finish this term in…

I decided a while back that I wanted to record audiobooks for each of my published titles. While it’s definitely in part because of the want to extend additional opportunities for readers to be able to appreciate my books in the ways that work best for them, as well as, I suppose, becoming a little…

Editorial Comment: It should be pretty apparent that I originally wrote this before I ended up being exiled from my own home for three days. All the same, I’m not sure my feelings on most of this have changed all that much. This past weekend was the opening for our show, you know, this weird…

Before I disappeared off to a hotel for a few days, I had a number of articles all prepped to go. Things that, for the most part, didn’t exactly apply any longer. Like one where I talked about how I kinda missed the quarantine. Or about how loud things were. Suddenly, after spending a few…

At the time of writing this, I’ve been back from my wife-imposed exile for a few days. And it’s been a really weird period in my life. In case you don’t have the back story, my wife tested positive for COVID a few days before we were to perform in this little murder mystery thing…

Over the course of the last year (mostly focused during last summer and fall) I wrote a silly little script for a dinner theater murder mystery show called Lei’d to Rest: A Hula-dunit Murder Mystery, which, as you’re probably aware, we just wrapped up production on. It was fun. While I get a little anxious…

The not-so-young author sat alone in the dark motel room with a small glass of whiskey in his hand. He stared at the computer screen, wondering whether he had it in him to put to the page what he knew he needed to put there. If there was one thing this plucky novelist could do,…
