Those who follow my blog and my other posts on the numerous writer’s sites that I belong to, know that I am on vacation. So, instead of boring you with details of the fried Grouper sandwich I had for lunch and the long, saltwater swim I took after (waiting thirty minutes of course), I’m going to post a long sample of my current best selling book, DROP OUT. I’ve received more than a hundred emails from people telling me how much the book affected them and their views on the meaning of life.…

Hello Everyone,
When I was asked to write a guest post, I thought to myself, what would anyone want to know about me? Would they want to know how I came up with a story for a book? Would they want to know about my home life? Maybe they would just want to know what my life is like. I really couldn’t come up with a direct answer of what anyone would want to know about me, so I decided I’d give a little bit of it all.
Well, the first thing I would say…

“Hegel was right when he said that we learn from history that man can never learn anything from history.”
George Bernard Shaw
I love history and am a museum freak. Then why don’t I write historical novels though I enjoy reading them?
Maybe someday I will. For now, I enjoy blending history into my novels. In my first book,…

At this very moment, I am sitting on a veranda in Summerland Key Florida staring out at a vast expanse of glacial-clear, maroon-colored, water while whispering palm fronds provides the backdrop to seagull cries, and yet I cannot write. Well, that’s not exactly true because I am writing this, but I can’t seem to concentrate on my current novel. Perhaps, I’m too relaxed? Too contented? With the knowledge that my books are selling, I no longer feel that intense pressure to create for hours on…

When I met the living and breathing Detective Sam Spade of the NYPD, in one of the local precincts in the outer boroughs (meaning NOT Manhattan), I had to force myself not to giggle. A million thoughts ran through my mind. Were his parents fans of detective stories? With a moniker like that, how odd that he chose police work as his profession and became a detective. He…

When I decided to publish my paperback book as a shorter Kindle with a new theme I had a lot to learn. Luckily, I found places to go to solve my problems, and I didn’t even go broke.
Problem # 1
