  • LATE Rise & Run

    LATE Rise & Run

  • Rev-iew: Texas Author & Reader Con 2025

    Irving Convention Center, Los Colinas, Texas July 19th & 20th I’m finally winding down. The unloading and inventory is complete and I’m exactly where I need to be: A stomach full of leftover pork and green chile enchiladas, a head full of spirit trees, a hot cup of Earl Grey with 2 ice cubes and…

  • My Warning To Fathers Of Sons

    I might have messed up the lyrics a bit, but the message remains the same. If you are a father, and you have a son, this will probably happen to you. You laugh now, same as I did, but it’s inevitable. I mean, even the copyright police didn’t pick up on this copyrighted song. Also,…

  • I Woke Up In A Mood…

    It’s been a minute, and I’m in the perfect spot to let ‘er rip. I’m in the parking lot of the Dallas Country Club. It’s not necessarily my chosen wake up spot. It’s complicated how I got here, actually. I rolled down my window, screamed “wassssaaaaappp!” to the gate guards, and drove in behind a…

  • Law of the Universe

    My writing career began in a miserable blur in the bowels of early MySpace, then Facebook, and stayed that way until I killed it a couple of years ago. It’s been a long, strange trip – mostly because I insisted at the moment – but the trip needed to end. I’m slowly cleaning out all…

  • Revisiting A Dead Horse

    I was laying in bed, staring at the ceiling in deep thought like every other morning, when I stumbled across a couple of memories.
