    What has Donald Trump’s Klepto-Kakistocracy Regime done to the Veterans Administration?

    Trump’s appointee to run the VA replaced the HealthyVet website, which veterans like me used to contact anyone on their VA health team that deals with our health issues, with a new website where we had to prove we were human and us, before we could switch accounts. To prove I was human, I had to go to a local US…

    Walking in Hitler’s Shoes on the Path to World War III

    I recently read in the Atlantic that Hitler imposed tariffs on Germany’s major trading partners when he became chancellor, tanking Germany’s economy putting that country further down the path toward World War II. So, when I read this post, I started fact-checking to verify all of Hitler’s footsteps Trump has followed wearing Hitler’s shoes, on the same path to another…

    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…
