    Launching Fiddling with Death

    The 3rd Thriller in the Josh Kavanagh Series Fiddling With Death’s official book launch started February 10 and ended the 17th, with the earliest reviews any of my books have had. Usually, it takes a month or more after a book launch for the first review to appear. This time, the first four came out before the end of the…

    My Battle between Building an Author’s Email List or finishing Fiddling with Death

    Since my first novel, My Splendid Concubine, came out in December 2007, I’ve done almost everything legal to promote my books. Still, there’s one promotion method I haven’t tried, creating an author’s email list that includes free reader magnets. “An author’s email list is a collection of email addresses from readers who have opted-in to receive updates and news from…

    The irony of digital devices eating our brains

    To entertain us 24/7, and allegedly make our lives easier and happier, we are only making our species dumber, disturbed, and irrationally more dangerous. With the arrival of AI, I think our biological brains are going to shrink a lot more until all that’s left is our reptilian brain where fight or flight resides. The home of PTSD. Why think…

    How do we say goodbye when we don’t know when it is going to happen?

    That is why I’m writing this early in the morning on November 7, 2024. For going on eight years, the rise of Trump has troubled me.  I’ve read a lot of history through the decades, and I know what might be coming. Donald Trump is like Hitler, Stalin, Putin and so many other human monsters. On January 20, 2025, if…

    “Oh, You Hate Trump!” she said.

    That happened to me when a Trump supporter discovered I didn’t support him. I never have. My reply to that Trump supporter, who brushed me off, not asking for my reasons, and may never read what my answer would have been: “No, I despise him.” This Trump supporter never asked for my reasons. It seems none of them do. Thesaurus.com…

    Why hasn’t former President Donald Trump spent one day in jail or in a prison cell?

    Mark Robinson, a Trump supporter, may go to court just like Traitor Trump has done more than 4,000 times in his life. So, if Robinson takes CNN to court, he has a chance to prove he has never visited a porn site or admitted he was a Black Nazi. All it takes is money! Still, that doesn’t mean Mark Robinson…

    Without Ruper Murdock, without Rober Ailes, without Fox News, there would have been no President Trump.

    Traitor Trump wouldn’t have a hate-filled MAGA cult supporting him today if it wasn’t for FOX fake NEWS. The FOX fake NEWs Chanel was founded by Rupert Murdoch in 1996. Roger Ailes was FOX’s first president. “Ailes recognized that primetime television was not a thinking medium; its constraints would not permit ideas to fully unfurl. Many saw this as a…

    The Traitor’s “9-Things” Brilliant Weave Talking Style

    At a rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, near the end of August, Traitor Trump held a rally with more than 6,000 people, many wearing MAGA hats and holding signs with Trump’s name on them in huge print. This rally was held at the 1st Summit Arena on Napoleon Street. The Traitor rambled for about 90-mintues and at some point, asked the crowd,…
