And so is my plate of food. Just the other day, I shared with you about my terribly annoying habit of eating so slowly. And now, here’s a perspective from a dear friend who was, in fact, with hubby and me during a meal at a restaurant.…

I have decided to blog a series of articles titled 'Blast From My Past', so that you have a chance to really get to know me, maybe have a laugh or two. I'm going to dig deep on some of these, and dates may be off somewhat because we moved around a lot.

So here's the first Blast From My Past...

I'm not sure how old I was, but it was in elementary school--Tahayghen Elementary in …

"A powerful, moving family drama that spans the generations! Beautiful writing! The title of this book leaped out at me from its striking cover, but when I started reading, I was captivated by how meaningful the title was to this very moving story. Cheryl Kaye Tardif's words, scenes and characters flowed through the pages so smoothly I almost forgot I was reading. I felt as though I were in Canada with the characters.



This is a story about an eleven-year-old…

I love the Firefox browser, but I have a bad habit. I often keep 20 or more tabs open at one time for sites I want to go back and take a closer look at but don't want to commit them to my bookmark program right away.

Poetry.com comes to mind when I think about places that take advantage of the new writer and their dreams of being published.

I wanted to take a few minutes here to get something off my chest. I am a budding writer, and as such, I feel the need to tell stories that entertain the readers, and perhaps give them a glimpse of a different world from the one they live in. Over the past two weeks, I have been working hard to get my new novel, KEY LIME SQUEEZE, out to the public, and tell the story of a private detective and father of two. In reality, I am a husband and father of two wonderful children, and have been…

My favorite Internet marketing strategy of all time is article marketing. It keys into one of my talents, writing, and I can use the articlesI create time and time again for a multitude of purposes. I tend to be lazy by nature, so anything that lets me create once and get paid, get paid, get paid, etc. is a dream marketing strategy.



I made a firm commitment to writing one article per week in 2003 or so, and now have an entire article library that I use…

I got a funny email from my brother over the weekend as he was searching online for my email address. In a nutshell he said, "How many d*mn websites do you have, anyhow? I Googled you to find your email address and got tired of looking at all of the listings that came back." As an online business owner, I personally think that's pretty cool to be an online legend with lots of listings that come back linked to me. I…

I hate when the waitress asks that question. That means those with whom we’re having dinner have finished their meals, and it’s a sign for me to hurry. Tough to do because chances are I’m still munching away and have half plate-full in front of me.…
