                      After my debut novel Hope of Glory, a comprehensive story about middle echelon horse racing, I started a sequel to that book. When it looked like the sequel was going to be as long as that first saga (700+ pages), I stopped writing it…

My Longacres' friends will recognize the Barn Pass button on my hat (which I bought in Europe the year before I went to the track). I'm driving a yellow LeMans convertible with the black…

           It's Wednesday . . .  I wonder what percentage of fiction readers notice or care about the actual writing or word crafting, character development, realistic dialogue, or how setting is used in the books they read. Do most readers just want a good story to pass the time? Do they…

          One of the best covers I've ever heard. Fabulous job of this Chicago song. Really good. At least equal to the original.    Father, once again your beauty is expressed in music. Thank you, Lord. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
