My James Comey firing

Whatever you might think about our illustrious 45th president or former FBI director James Comey, I think we can all agree that The Donald took the coward’s way out last week. Rather than firing him in person, or even calling him on the phone, 45 gave him the bad news in a letter delivered to…

Books are not the most expensive thing out there, but if you buy a lot of them, the cost adds up. But what if you could get books worth up to $12.99 for free? You can, by entering “book giveaways.” Often all you have to do to win is to click on a button. At…

Lehigh Carter, the Mountain Man is back! And this time, he’s pissed. And why wouldn’t he be? The crooked sheriff’s department now has even more partners in crime, and they’ve locked up his fiancee, Stacy McBride, accusing her of murdering popular acting sheriff Jared Barkley. He knows it’s a frame-up…or so he thinks at the…

Why I love, but don’t do, #NaNoWriMo – and what I do instead

NaNoWriMo – National Novel Writing Month – is a great thing. It motivates people to write that great novel they have inside of them, the one they otherwise never can find the time (or lack of excuses) to write. It gets people writing who might otherwise never do it. Some people even get books published…

Dogtoberfest: Buy a book, save a dog

It’s our final day…won’t you help save a stray? The month of October is hereby renamed “Dogtober.” And we’re going to celebrate “Dogtoberfest” the right way: by helping our stray canine friends find homes. Did you know that: Every year. some 3.9 million dogs enter animal shelters. Only 1 out of every 10 dogs born…

Why do book signings?

Recently on Facebook, a new writer posed the question (condensing here), “Do you do bookstore book signings? If so, why? And how has that experience been for you?” A great question. I do love bookstore events. But they’re not for everyone. Bookstore events are great for writers, IF: the writer is extroverted and like mixing…

Buy a book, help a flood victim

Many (too many) years ago, I graduated from Archbishop Rummel High School in Metairie, LA, and earned by BA from Louisiana State (Geaux, Tigers!). Many family members and friends still call Louisiana home. Even though this recent storm lacks the sexy name of a Katrina or a Sandy, the floods it caused have devastated homes,…

Coffee vs. Wine: What goes better with books?

What kind of reader-drinker are you? Are you a curl-up-with-a-cup-of-coffee reader, or a lean-back-with-a-glass-of-pinot-noir type of reader? Good news: When you travel into Oregon’s fabulous Willamette Valley, famous for its pinot noirs and chardonnays, you don’t have to choose. The Coffee Cottage on 808 E. Hancock St. in Newberg is both a great coffee shop…

Why dogs? Why rescue dogs?

At a time when the publishing industry, and readers, seem to demand sequels (if not series) of books they enjoy, I defied convention last week in releasing The Mountain Man’s Dog, which features different characters, a different setting, and even a bit of a shift in genre and style. Surprised fans of Lying in Judgment…

5 Ways to Love a Writer

Recently at a book signing I was asked, “How can we best support you as a writer?” At the time, I responded with a three-item list. It should have been five. Here they are. Buy (my) books. Well, this one’s obvious. Writers make their living (or part of it, anyway) from selling their work. Nothing…
