Tech Complications
This somewhat ages me but, I still think of a book as the original lap top. In the course of my career as a teacher I used a type writer, a word processor, a computer and eventually after generations of development a tablet. Having seen all that tech develop and come and go, I got…
Read MoreOrdinary and Extraordinary
Lots of writers focus on the extraordinary; a battle, or event. I tend to focus on the mundane and let events disrupt the natural flow. I relish the ordinary, daily and seasonal routines and boring predictability. Change is inevitable, growth is expected and life is an exercise in adjustments.

Read MoreOven
When it took more than twenty minutes to bake up a pan of biscuits, I knew the oven was broken. It has been a weird day, having someone come and look at the oven, finding out the coil on the bottom was toast. Not really, but burnt, brittle and broken which sounds somehow worse. It…

Read MoreValue of Life
Too many people play games with the value of human life. They don’t do it bluntly, they make an effort to dress it in pretty clothes and political rhetoric, but the underlying meaning is- my life and my kind has more value in life than this other kind. Some blame it on a god, others…
Read MoreSlow Start
Like all people, I have days when I rise, singing and happy to face a new day. I am often filled with energy to embrace a challenge and raring and happy to start on my next project. Between the recent flu and a bout of gloomy weather, I awoke to the dog whining at the…
Read MoreHope is Alive
Every new day brings hope for positive change, for excitement and progress. Too many people lose their ability to look for the light in the darkness. They get bogged down in their daily routine, so I am reminding you, look for the good, the hope, the light in your day. Have a great one!
Read MoreGood Catch
So much planning goes into each step of producing a book and tonight we managed to avert a later problem. A huge thanks to Athena, my artist, for working seemlessly with me to visually represent the world of NewEarth in the best light and given the best view. She is not only amazingly talented, but…
