Coming Up for Oxygen.
You may have noticed I’ve been incommunicado for the last few months.
Patty and I are in good health, we’re busy, our children and grandchildren are doing well and we’re quite involved in our church and community. So where have I been? Okay, you guessed it … I’ve been writing … or to be more accurate, rewriting. I dragged out a manuscript from 2012 entitled, The Witch and…

Christianity - The True Religion of Peace
Christianity – The True Religion of Peace
Christianity, The True Religion of PEACE!
At this time of the year when we celebrate the birth of Christianity, it might be a good idea to step back and look at its origins in light of the word, “Peace.”
At the birth of Jesus, the angel proclaimed – “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men!” Luke 2:14
When He met an infidel, Jesus said – “Thy faith hath saved thee.…

Salt vs. Salt-less
Is it my imagination, or does salt taste less salty?
The other day, my wife and I were eating dinner and we kept asking one another to, “please pass the salt.” The question suddenly sprang out, “Why can’t I get my mashed potatoes salty enough?” The same question applied to our meat and veggies.
So I ask you, Is all salt created equal? Another question to ask is, Have salt manufacturers tinkered…

One Final Word
It was February, 2015 in Libya, when 21 Coptic Christians were paraded before a camera along the Mediterranean shore, forced to kneel in the sand and given one last opportunity to renounce their faith. Their black hooded captors demanded they repeat these words, “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his prophet.”
That day, the icy waters of the Mediterranean Sea were turned to blood as each…

Light Pollution
The term is an oxymoron. Light is pure. It contains no chemicals, no additives, no animal bi-products. It does, however, contain all the colors of the spectrum, both seen and unseen by the human eye. When used correctly, it illuminates, it radiates, and it permeates everything it is exposed to. Plants grow, humans thrive, animals enjoy its benefits in a host of ways.
Being exposed to ultraviolet…

The Freedom to Choose
The Freedom to Choose
This morning, July 1st, I took my grandson to the Steak and Shake in Hiram, GA, for breakfast. They offered all you can eat pancakes for $3.99 and I thought it would be a great idea to spend some quality time with James, since it was his eleventh birthday.
As we sat and chatted over a number of things, my attention was snagged by the good natured laughter of a group of men…

New On-Line Sales Link
The question was asked of me, “How do I sell the physical copy of my book on line?” While there are many outlets for e-pub, downloadable books, there are few options for author to sell their autographed copies through the internet. You could try setting up a Seller’s Account on Amazon, for starters. E-bay might be an option. Book Baby, Xulon and others may have hard-copy distribution, but at what…

In the Sight of Two Women
Two women approached me as I sit at my table for a book signing. The first; a tall elderly woman with streaks of gray in her hair, appeared to be a woman of means and culture, well-read and well-bred. By her rigid shoulders and the slight tremble in her upper lip, I knew she had something to say.
“That book,” she said, pointing at Stranger in the White House, “is an attack on our president.”

Two Axioms
Originally posted on Author Bryan Powell:
There are two axioms by which Mr. Grady Gillis lived. “Find people smarter than you to do the things you don’t want to do.” and “Help others reach their goals and you’ll reach yours.” I learned that as I wrote his memoir, and found them to be reliable.
When he said “smarter” I’m sure he didn’t mean they knew everything about everything. He meant they…

Mind Mapping 101a
Mind Mapping 101a
We all know of the two primary methods of writing: Plotting and Pantsing. In Plotting, you methodically plan your story and then build around it. In Pantsing, you write your ideas as they come to you and let the story develop as you go along. However, there is a third way which I discovered only after I’d done it. It’s called Mind-Mapping.
Mind Mapping defined – It’s a visual…

The Games People Play
It’s funny how little things influenced you throughout your formative years. Yes, the big, the traumatic, and the bad things did. But have you ever thought of how many times something insignificant took place in your life that effects you still today?
I was driving home from my store, Hiram Bookstore, the other day and it suddenly dawned on me; I’m an author. Well yes, I knew that, but how did I…
