In a blog a couple of weeks ago, I told you about being at the post office in Show Low, Arizona, and seeing two little kids who looked at my white beard and wondered if I was Santa Claus. I told them I was, and that the clothes I was wearing was how I dress […]
We never have time to get bored at our house because there’s always something going on. I need to either find some way to clone both myself and Terry or to add another 12 hours into every day. I’m just not sure which is going to be the easiest to do. Yesterday was a good […]
Note: I was still feeling the affects of Friday’s run-in with onions and didn’t do anything productive yesterday. So here is a blog from five years ago you might enjoy. I know, in this day and age we are not supposed to call people names. But sometimes you just have to. Comedian Bill Engvall made […]
Yesterday I uploaded the audiobook of The Hard Years, the fourth book in my Tinder Street family saga, and it is now available on Amazon and audible.com. That leaves just one more audiobook in the Tinder Street series to be formatted and uploaded, A Changing World, at least for the time being. Somebody asked if […]
Yesterday I uploaded the audiobook of Boom And Bust, the third book in my Tinder Street family saga, and it is now available on Amazon and audible.com. I hope to get the fourth and fifth books in the series uploaded in the next few days. I also uploaded the print edition of Big Lake Accident […]
I’ve got a lot of exciting book news to share with you today, and I think it’s going to make some of my readers very happy. At least I hope so. A week ago I said in the blog that Amazon had asked me to take part in a program to create audiobooks using artificial […]
Well, are you all still here or did you get raptured yesterday during the eclipse? I must live in a town full of sinners because nobody here got raptured. To be honest, I was really looking forward to it. No, not for myself. I knew there was no way I was going to get to […]
Even though our anniversary was on Tuesday, the 16th, Terry and I didn’t get around to going out for our anniversary dinner until yesterday, because earlier in the week it was just so darn cold and nasty, and a lot of the roads were icy. Since we spent our 25th anniversary last year moving from […]
You know the old saying, if you don’t like the weather wait 5 minutes? That seems to be the case here in Alabama this time of year. A couple of days ago I told you that it got so warm that Terry had to turn on the air conditioning. Then yesterday it was so darn […]
After I announced in yesterday’s blog that the printed edition of Pucker Factor is now available to purchase online, a reader contacted me asking how they could get an autographed copy. Amazon does not have autographed copies of authors’ books on hand, and I haven’t ordered any for myself yet. But yes, it can be […]
Terry and I spent all day yesterday making last-minute changes to my new book, Big Lake Ranger, and getting the e-book version of it formatted, which turned out to be a bear because it seems like Amazon changes the way they want things done from book to book. But I finally got that part of […]
Yesterday afternoon I got the final read-through of my new John Lee Quarrels book, Ka-Bar Karma, back from my final proofreader, made her corrections, and uploaded it to Amazon at 5:15 p.m. Less than an hour later, I got a message back that it was available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. As soon as I […]
I said in a blog post the other day that my Mustang is a garage queen that doesn’t get out much, and that’s just fine with me. Now let me tell you about our new kitchen queen. Now don’t go getting all excited, I didn’t replace Miss Terry. We all know she’s irreplaceable. But we […]
I had my patience tested yesterday. As it turns out, I am negative. We had a lot to get done yesterday and we only accomplished about half of it. But in the process, I certainly got my patience tested. And I’m the first to admit that I’m not a patient man. We had to go […]
When we turned on the news yesterday morning, we learned that Joe Biden had been officially named President-elect of the United States. I know for many Americans that was wonderful news, and for many others, it was not what they had hoped for. Either way, it’s a new day and a new start for our […]
I know, in this day and age we are not supposed to call people names. But sometimes you just have to. Comedian Bill Engvall made a fortune with his Here’s Your Sign gig, so I guess if he could point out the stupid things people say and do, I’ll give it a try and see […]
I’m sure some of my readers have been around long enough to remember the TV commercials in the 1960s and early 1970s for Comet cleanser featuring Josephine the Plumber, played by actress Jane Withers. Well, guess what? I married her sister. Terry may not be related to Ms. Withers, but she’s just as handy. Probably […]
After taking care of the morning’s email, I spent part of the day writing and got in another 3,000 or so words in my new John Lee Quarrels book. Fans of the series keep asking me when it will be ready, and all I can say is that I’m working on it. Books are like […]
I think we’re making some headway with my back problems but it seems like it’s two steps forward and one step back. After going back to the chiropractor on Tuesday and getting an adjustment, I was still experiencing some tenderness but nothing compared to the pain I had been dealing with for five days. In […]
Sometimes when I’m working on a project I will park myself in front of the computer and stay there for several days at a time, cranking out a lot of words. Which is what I did most of last week. Then I have to give myself a break and take a little bit of time […]
