...if only in my Dreams

It's that time of year again, the crazy Christmas shopping rush.  I live by a mall, so that's always evident to  me as soon as it begins.  The holidays don't just bring traffic and Salvation Army bell ringers, if you're like me, it's a time to reflect on family gatherings and the ones who won't be here to celebrate with you as they once did.  Like poetry, music and songs can be interpreted in a variety of ways.  For some reason this year, "I'll be home for Christmas" has taken on a whole new…

The Zen of Max (a memoir of great wisdom and many naps) by Lou Belcher

My latest book is out and available on Amazon.com

 

It's the memoir of Max, an ordinary cat who had the capacity to make an extraordinary difference in the lives of those around him. It combines humor with a bit of tugging at the heart strings. When you throw in the lessons learned, it's a book of universal application.  Enjoy.

SPLINTERS ON THE CARPENTER'S FLOOR

   Two years ago every Christian program I watched the preacher was talking about prosperity and how you can do different things in your life to achieve wealth.  At that time I wasn't interested, because my wife and I had jobs, a nice house, two nice vehicles and money in the bank.  Then one day I decided…

Gelati's Scoop Top 35 Novels of 2010

I am not a year-end list type of guy but I am going to put three out here this week. I have broken my lists up into three categories: novels, digital short stories, and self-published work. The plan is to put them up in that order Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The time frame involved for inclusion in this is the entire year, not just a quarter as I have done throughout the year. Placement of some of the novels may surprise you and/or irritate you (sorry), but I am more than happy to…

Q&A with Susan Fraser King author of Queen Hereafter

-The research you have done seems exhaustive. Are you exhausted from it and do you find enjoyment from the process?

I love doing the research! Years in graduate studies taught me how to research and follow a historical trail, and I still love doing that. I can get lost in the fun of tracking down historical facts and theories and all the details. And a good portion of what goes in the books is also cumulative knowledge, so it's not as exhausting as it may seem. I've been gathering and…
