In the past, I have shared a series of stories from my days publishing small town newspapers, from a job I had selling cars, about my time in the Army, and some tales of the offbeat adventures and misadventures I’ve gotten into in a series called Nick Happens. Now, I thought I would share some […]

Big Lake Mystery Series Wherever you are and whatever you’re doing, I hope you are safe, healthy, and with people you love. That’s about the best Christmas gift anybody could ever get. I gave myself a Christmas present yesterday. I finished Big Lake Parolee, the 27th book in my Big Lake mystery series about a […]

I’ve heard people say that sometimes they are not sure what holiday greeting to use. If you say, “Merry Christmas,” would it be inappropriate if the person happens to be Jewish or Muslim? How about “Happy Holidays”? That seems innocuous, doesn’t it? Don’t ask me; I’m the Grinch, remember? At least I try. Yesterday, I […]

Merry Christmas, everybody! Did Santa bring you everything you wanted for Christmas? I hope so, and I hope you are surrounded by people, or at least one special person that you love today. A year ago today, my Christmas present to all of you was the release of Big Lake Drunk, the 22nd book in […]

I am glad I got almost 10,000 words done in my new Big Lake book over the weekend because I needed to make some headway on it. I originally had hoped to have it done in December, but with all the running we had to do back and forth to the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville […]

Whether you’re Christian, Jewish, Hindu, agnostic or atheist, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, or whatever else gets the message across that I hope you have a wonderful day, wherever you are and whatever you are doing. I hope you are in good health, that you’re with people that you love, and that you’re warm, safe and […]

Merry Christmas everybody. Whether you’re visiting family, in an RV park surrounded by friends, or spending a quiet day at home, I hope you have a wonderful day. I know we will. We actually had our family gathering yesterday at Terry’s parents’ house. Besides her mom and dad, her sister Lisa and her husband Jim […]
