Feb 29 = Free Books

Today is a special day. I love Feb 29th for the fact that it comes only once every four years. There’s no holiday associated with. There really should be. A big hoopla event that puts every other holiday to shame. Since there isn’t, I’m going to celebrate anyways.  For today Read more…

Ideas

Life’s funny. Right now, I have no time to do much other than take care of baby, my wife, and try to squeeze in a little bit of sleep (occasionally). During this time I’ve also had a lot of ideas for my writing. Both for Book 3, which I need Read more…

Blessing and Curse
