Received a rejection letter today from Naomi Davis at Inklings Literary. She didn't feel our voice was what she was looking for but was impressed with the way Alan and I worked together so seamlessly. It was a long shot with her anyway. She's more into Historical Romance, whereas Iron Broderick is Sword and Sandal with some … Continue reading First Rejection Letter for Iron Broderick

Liar’s Club, First Three Paragraphs
Started a new short story (or at least that's my plan). It was a dark and stormy night. No, really, it was.

She called me a hero and said our country needed to take better care of us veterans. This was slightly embarrassing. I didn't know what to say. I spent some … Continue reading I Am A Veteran
Fire Pit Therapy Session: What I Like to Drink
Saturday night around the fire pit. Good friends, good stories, and good single malt scotch. On the subject of alcoholic beverages, I wouldn't consider myself a connoisseur, but I have found that I've become quite the bigot with regard to my choices in general.
