Short Story Judging (What Makes A Good Story)
Recently, I had the honour of being asked to judge a writing competition. It was an interesting process.

These have... Continue Reading →
My most important book
My son, Michael and I wrote a book together. It's available for sale as of today. This is my most important book, because of what it meant to produce something like that with Michael. It was a fun project to work on together. I've recently written a post on how you can do this too.... Continue Reading →
