First an update on my website; at another author's request I have added a page to my website that gives details on some of the photos in the book, some photos that did not make it into the book and explanations about the meaning of the front and back covers. Pictures and stories will be added over time as I gather them together, this is the link…

Happy Monday to all!! We are starting off the week with a huge novel, Lee Childs Worth Dying For. I really enjoyed the spirited discussion’s that some of us had after I posted the Lee Child discusses Jack

Reacher vs. Joe Pike you tube video. Excuse my surprise and dismay as so many

of you immediately jumped into the Joe Pike camp, for shame. My question is,

why just limit the question to Joe Pike? Why isn’t anyone mentioning Mitch

Rapp? I think the list…

Hello again! I hope that all of you had a great Thanksgiving with your families and are looking forward to a very nice Christmas season. We have made some changes recently here @ Gelati’s Scoop and I just wanted to take

a moment out of the day and explain the whys and what nots to you if you don’t

Sometimes you just have to break away. You leave behind family, friends and career to pursue your passion. And it often turns out that what you left behind is what shapes your future. Scranton resident, R.J. McDonnell can attest to

that.

Dear Blog-Browser,

I've copied and pasted into this a review of my novel 'Abernethy'. The review is by Phillip Ellis of Australian Reader.Com, and you can check them out at http://www.australianreader.com

I'm pretty stoked with the review. 'Stoked' is an Australian colloquialism for delight and elation. Hell, I damn near had an orgasm when I read it!

I've been doing my 'book tour thing-o'. There was…

As a veterinarian I am always interested in reading about animals, and my passion for history leads me to some interesting books. I recently discovered a book published in 1868 by Charles Henry Ross, titled 'A Chit Chat Book of Cats.' In it was a chapter on cat health which was quite an eye opener.

Firing up the Muse
