We’re at the end of September and I see I’m falling short of republishing my Ridgewood Chronicles series of books. As spring became summer, my schedule for writing diminished. No matter how I tried to force it, the mood wasn't there. By autumn, I knew I’d fallen far behind with finishing the second book of … Continue reading Change of Plans

Doing Again What We Love
Today, I’m celebrating the one-year birthday of this blog. That doesn’t mean I’m new to blogging. I’ve been doing it since 1993, posting my writing and artwork for thirty years at webhosts such as popular-at-the-time GeoCities and MySpace, to name two. I moved to WordPress in January 2011 and posted, “Hi. I’m a wildlife and … Continue reading Doing Again What We Love

In the beginning, my astronauts blast off … Continue reading All Our Struggles Are Interesting

When I was in the Navy, my commanders and drill instructors taught me how to fight for freedom by defending the country I was born in. They taught … Continue reading Macroscopic Death, Poem 2023-0703
Who Is Alice Myers?
I previously posted about the history of Ridgewood, a fictional town that appears in my stories and books featured here and at several online book markets. In that post, I mentioned a woman named Alice Myers, and in my haste to keep the post shorter than one of my short stories, I glossed over her … Continue reading Who Is Alice Myers?
