A few things on my mind that I just wanted to mention here this morning…
As Today Begins…
Making “Connections?”
My advice to any new writer is this: Spend your time 1) writing your books and 2) “connecting” with your readers who have chosen to “connect” with you. (“I wanted you to know I’ve read your book!”)
New York Travel “Shorts”
Hello from the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York. We made it…
Idea Of The Day
How about a show of hands. How many of you have ever written a serious love letter? Or – to be all 21st century-ish – how many of you have perhaps written even a love email or other similar electronic message? And by the latter I mean composing complete, carefully crafted, thoughtful sentences: texting emojis doesn’t count!😂
Author Comment Ramblings
I’m avoiding blogging “officially” for a time, of course. Then I thought, “Eh, I might as well share this prominently with all of you too!” No secrets here! 🙂

Now It Is 100 Years
I’ve set my phone alarm for just before 11am on Sunday. We should just take that moment at least and remember.
The Joys Of Reading
I present myself on here, note my books, and share insights and bits of my writing. You may choose to read one (or more) of my books. Or you may choose not to do so.
My Five Year Authoring Anniversary
…However (and as some of you already know), I’m a bit old-fashioned: I never really feel it’s a true book unless… it’s a BOOOOOK…
Trapped In A Minefield
I write this post to vent about this because recently I have been getting *extremely* negative feedback from a family member about my author Instagram page…
To Challenge Ignorance
In a restaurant in 1939 Germany, thirty-ish American foreign service officer “Leslie Slote” and young American twenties-something expat “Byron Henry” – who had just returned from the chaos of Poland during the German invasion weeks earlier – fall into discussing anti-Semitism…
A “Good Morning” Talk
Authors of serious fiction can’t just roll them out to order for the holiday season. I’m not Sears… oh, wait, that may not have been the best comparison.
