By

A Courageous Ride is releasing March 31 and I am already getting a wonderful response from the early reviews.  Both Sid Love and Mrs. Condit and Friends have given it wonderful reviews. With this story, I decided I wanted to create two different characters form two different worlds, throw them together and see what happened.  What I got was a story that really spoke to me about the power of love and deciding what was truly important.  I also got to explore the therapeutic aspects of love and healing on many levels.   Aspiring orchestra conductor Marshall is exhausted after months of … Continued

  Coming Out and Going Home Hey, y’all! How goes it? First and foremost, I want to thank Andrew for hosting me on his blog. He is one of my favorite people on earth and I love him more than I love my luggage (trust me, it’s a compliment – I have purple luggage with green olives. I adore it). I was sitting and pondering life how much mine has changed in the last few years. I’ve moved. We’ve lost Julia’s dad. I came out of the closet. We have our first grandnephew, my baby-iest sister got married. J and … Continued

The Story Behind Love Comes Home

Tags: , , , , , ,

Love Comes Home started when sports reporters were talking about baseball.  I rarely listen to baseball, but I was on an extended trip and had NPR on the car’s satellite radio.  Of course NPR has a sports reporter who was doing a color story around baseball.  But being NPR, he chose something different.  That was the day I heard about Beepball for the first time.  They were at a game and mostly it sounded like any other baseball game, coaches giving instruction, parents yelling encouragement.  Then it got silent and all that came through was a moving beeping sound.  As … Continued

  I did a short video reading of an excerpt from Dumped in Oz.  I like doing readings of my work and since I can’t be there with you, I thought I would do a video reading instead.  The scene comes from the end of the first chapter of the story where Lyle and Roger first begin to notice one another.  I hope you like it.     Because of an opportunity he’d be a fool to turn down, Lyle Powers transfers to his company’s warehouse in central Kansas. The last thing he expects is to meet another gay man … Continued

Neither Lyle nor Roger is looking for a relationship, and they fumble at the start, yet emotions build as Roger shows Lyle the landmarks of Oz.

This past summer, I had to go on a business trip for the Evil Day Job I don’t have any longer.  I ended up in Kansas in June.  It was surprisingly green with rolling hills and river valleys.  Not the sort if place I expected to like, but it was quite lovely.   The trip required that I spend the weekend.  On Saturday I worked most of the day and on Sunday we needed something to do and on the freeway, we’d seen a sign for the Oz Winery in Wamego.  We had to see what that was all about and … Continued
