Hello, everyone, just wanted to wish everyone a happy and safe Independence Day! Eat lots of good food, have fun at the parades, and enjoy the fireworks. Most of all, don’t forget what this day stands for. I will be taking a couple of days off to observe the holiday but I will be back in action in a couple of days. Have a great one!
… though they might be a bit delayed, mainly due to the fact that, in addition to my impending move to the United Kingdom, I have also said good-bye for good to POD (print-on-demand) publishing. Instead, I have opted to expand my client base to more traditional publishing companies. For instance, I am currently working on a project for Tor, a fantasy novelette, the title of which I’m keeping under wraps for now (because I can). Tor is an amazing publisher with a very long tradition of publishing and marketing high quality work from a variety of writers, including Terry

It’s official: 2011’s mid-life crisis is already circling the drain. Tomorrow will be the first day of July. Summer is about half over as well. Soon, the leaves on the trees will change color to signal the coming of fall and then later the coming of winter, and all the snow and ice that I dislike so much. I’m one of those people that would rather be sweating up a storm than shivering to the point where my joints hurt. I think the only time I’ve ever actually enjoyed winter was when I was a kid. I can remember building
My American Revolution is finally available for viewing to the public! The story, as I mentioned in a previous entry, is a tribute to American Revolution heroine Margaret Corbin, whose bravery should be an inspiration to us all. The short story details her bravery in the Battle of Fort Washington against the British and the Hessians during the early stages of the American Revolutionary War. As the first woman to fight for America in any war, the first woman to be paid by Congress as a soldier, and the first woman to be wounded in the war, Margaret’s struggles for
One thing that I find greatly disturbing about this time of year are the people who think of Independence Day as nothing more than just another holiday. Time to go have a barbecue, take a small vacation from work, or say “oooh” and “aaaah” while watching fireworks explode in the sky… It’s also a fact – most Americans call Independence Day simply “the 4th of July.” One has to wonder, now, just how long it will take until everyone forgets the meaning of this day, especially with our educational system the way it is. Independence Day, as it is and

A quick announcement before I head off to dream land: my Facebook page is being given a facelift. I am in the process of removing all of the unnecessary photos, information, and links, but much of the work has already been done. I wanted to do as much as I could before getting back to work. I haven’t yet decided just what exactly I want to do with my Facebook yet. There are a few options to consider, such as using it as a photo album, a place to discuss my novels and upcoming works, and of course, a place
My new short story My American Revolution, which I wrote as a fictional tribute to Margaret Corbin, has been officially submitted to Yahoo! I have also posted a special announcement on my website for the short story, which can be viewed on the Short Story page. Margaret Corbin This brings my two week wrestle with the subject of the short story to an end in a way that I honestly could not have planned better. Margaret Corbin was the perfect topic for the piece, and I look forward to updating the website with the link once it is published. I
This morning, I awoke to the sound of my dog Buddy growling out the window at passersby. For some mysteriously odd reason, it got me thinking about my new upcoming short story. Considering the theme of the story is war, I honestly don’t understand why his growling prompted the thought process in the first place. Anyway, this in turn caused me to climb out of bed and begin the writing process anew. I hate to admit it, but I only recently decided what I wanted the actual story to be about, even though I had accepted the writing option more
The short story based on the American Revolution is short-coming. Although it will be out before the end of June, it probably won’t be sooner than June 21st. It’s a difficult piece to write. For me, chronicling events and people throughout history usually comes pretty naturally. After all, historical fiction is my forte. Well, one of them. Especially when it’s surrounding U.S. or Greek history. This project, however, keeps me scratching my head after every turn. I am committed to delivering a dynamic and epic short story, however. I would like it to be something enjoyed for years to come
I decided it was time to launch the official website now that most of the updates are complete. The rest are very minor and won’t likely be noticeable aside from performance enhancements. At least for now. It is the culmination of years of work and I’m glad with the way it’s turned out so far. That being said, work on my short story continues. I should be sending it off to Yahoo by Tuesday. From there, I will begin work on more projects. Thanks to all my fans for their continued support. Enjoy the new site!
