Fusion Hotwash – Or Why Depression Sucks
Normally, after I release a book, I try to hash out what I did right, what I did wrong, so I can learn and be better about it. For Fusion, I really didn’t do much but run a few ads. It’s hard to sell the last book in the series […]
2015, The Year Everything Changed… Again
On December 31, 2014, I sat in my parents’ old house in Gulf Breeze, watching Double Life hit #1 on Amazon’s Best Selling Space Opera. I mulled on how much had changed with me internally. I’d pulled myself out of a deep depression, I’d rediscovered my love for writing. Hell, […]
Selling Houses and Dating Boys Part Deux
This week, I threw it back to a post on selling houses and dating boys. In it, I wrote about how I felt that “I don’t get perfect,” in either real estate transactions or in dating gentlemen callers.

On Babies and Boys
At my age, all of my girlfriends have babies and boys. (That is, they’re all married and pregnant)
