Here is my recent column, reviewing Inversion and Resistance: Burning Skies. Thanks to the Detroit News and Minneapolis Star-Tribune for publishing.
You all know that I don't read much fiction, but the few authors I do read, I revere. One of them is Lee Child, and his Jack Reacher novels. Reacher is a badass. An ex-MP officer who strikes fear in the hearts of those who wrong others, and is not...
Just giving a second post so I see how it all flows.
This past weekend one of the movie channels started replaying Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I'm not going to condone or approve that illegal substances (or ones that at least require a prescription in some states) be taken when watching this movie, but damn it is funny. This movie...
Hey, bringing back an old favorite of the blog, where I pass along a helpful link or idea that is rather earth-friendly in the hopes of swaying my mother into the 21st century. She recently got an iPhone, which is something massive to celebrate because it means she has a...
My recent column reviewing Dragon's Dogma and Sorcery. Thanks to the Toledo Blade for publishing.

Gotta give quick props to the new job on this latest book that I read. It was featured in a book review in the first issue of the magazine that I worked on. And when the reviewer gave it back to the office and it was available to anyone for...
I value my train ride into the office each morning. I want peace and quiet. I guess if I really wanted it I would drive a car and be alone, but I care about the planet and all that jazz. So instead, all I want is to read my book...
A few weeks ago I once again dusted off the running shoes and participated in the TKPK5K, my one solitary effort to run for more than 10 feet and simultaneously benefit my community. OK, so maybe that is a tad of a stretch. As opposed to last year's disastrous idea...
