  My Book Funnel promo for BEER POUR is running through the end of the year. While the novel is a satire about filmmaking, advertising, and politics, all rolled into one humorous gulp, I do like to promote that the story contains a very sweet romance between the lonely U.S. Vice President, Jacqueline Farmington, and the drop-dead gorgeous film producer Paul Wexler. Jacky and Paul meet when she invents a way to advertise an enormous economic and diplomatic deal with Japan by engaging two Hollywood...

  Need a heartwarming story today? This little guy, Bodhi, was rescued from Kuwait three weeks ago and brought to Baltimore with a few other pups. All the pups have been adopted, including little Bodhi, who now has a forever home with my bestie in PA.

  July 26 is National Tree Day. Thought I'd share my favorite poem, which was my mother's favorite poem. She had a copy of the poem hanging on the upstairs hallway when I was growing up. Remember having to memorize a poem in elementary school? Well, I did. It was TREES. #nature #tree #trees #poem #poems #joycekilmer

  Writing a book is hard enough without choosing a book cover. In the spirit of not using AI, I made my book cover for the novel I have coming out this summer. I actually made the last two book covers I put out, too. I put my book cover up against three other book covers I paid for and put them all up for a vote with dozens of friends. Of course, everybody chooses covers other than the one I made from scratch to avoid AI. Then, among the three book covers I didn't make, the consensus was s...

  Has anyone else been watching the Big Bear Eagle cam? If so, then you saw Sandy leave the nest today at 84 days old. It is such a treat year after year to watch the eaglets from hatchlings to fledge, or in Sandy's case today, FLUDGE, when her little brother accidentally knocked her off the limb. But she recovered and flew away. Luna, who was born one day later, will be gone any minute, and the nest will be empty until next winter or spring when the Big Bear eagles, Jackie and Shadow, wel...
