Up at 4AM and on the 5AM airport shuttle to catch an early flight which (we find out at the airport) is delayed until 8:30. Lost some sleep with that glitch. I had to wait to creep through TSA before I got my first cup of coffee. Tip for you […]
2:30AM Rise and shine! Little plane to Seattle, headed the wrong direction, to hop on another little plane to Reno. I managed to get in a few pages of IQ on both flights, and during the short layover at SEA-TAC. We were met in Reno by our lovely host, and […]
Still a bit under the weather, but functioning and writing in slooooow motion, which is better than not functioning and writing at all I suppose. I’ve now left the laptop and switched back to the Moleskine as I will be on the road for the next few days. I know […]
Leaving Scottsdale, headed up to the farm…getting home in stages. Marcia and Jerry’s house is great. Arrived yesterday afternoon and had fresh squeezed grapefruit, although I could have had fresh squeezed orange juice. Both can be found on trees in their backyard. This was followed by perfectly grilled steaks cooked […]
Up at 2AM working. What??? Don’t ask me, I’m just the writer. Perhaps my brain knows it’s going to be a busy day with company and the workers, and the wee hours of the morning is the only time to get my work in. When this happens I don’t fight […]
Up at 6… Took a little bit of break this morning to go to my last Swap Meet. I’m not a donut guy, but I love the donuts at the meet. One a week. Got my last one for this trip and took it back to the house to eat […]
Sent the novel “Beneath” off to my friend Kate Harrison at Dial today. Can’t quite describe how that felt. And of course I realize that a novel is never final until it’s in the stores, but I think it’s a pretty good yarn and I trust Kate to make it […]
Back down in Mexico. The lovely Ruth and Al picked me up in Arizona yesterday morning for the seven hour drive, made slower by a stretch of rain-damaged road. We arrived just before sundown and found Marie and her mother napping in the car in our driveway. Uh-oh… This could […]
I’m back in the States for a couple of weeks to visit schools in Texas and Arkansas and speak at Harding University. On Christmas I got this nice email from Mandy with some questions about writing and the Cryptid Hunter series. Below is the email and Mandy’s questions… Dear Mr. […]
I saw this coming… It’s easy to make entries in this public journal (A.K.A. Blog) when your flying around the country meeting people, speaking, and snapping photos. It’s a bit more challenging to come up with things to say when you’re in your cave all day writing, because every writing […]
