Point pleasent Side Trip

On the road this weekend to move my son into his dorm at college, I took a small detour to Pt. Pleasant West Virginia, the home of the Mothman & Men-in-Black sightings some 47 years ago.

didn’t have much time and spent only a few minutes locating the Mothman statue, taking a few pics and then jumping back into my car on getting on my way.

Both I and the helpful people of Point Pleasant were lucky that it was early Sunday morning. I found myself driving down a one-way street and getting yelled at Point Pleasent’s version of Mr. Wilson for my troubles. Luckily, we were the only two on the street. No injuries, no harm, no foul.

BTW Point Pleasant has its annual Mothman festival each year. 2014 will be its 13th year and will be held September 20th – 21st.

I've learned since I've gotten older that there is sometimes more fear in making my decisions and that my priorities have changed quite a bit. For instance, I would probably be ok with prostituting my self out as long as there were vision and dental involved.

Happy Friday The 13th

The Serpent Bearer In NYC

While I’m planning a trip to attend my son’s graduation, my publicist is at Book Expo America in NYC with my latest novel doing her thing with a few other hopefuls.

Writing is Scary

I purposely woke early this morning to tend to some writing. My goal was to create a snappier synopsis for The Serpent Bearer. The outcome – so far – has been 2 hours of piddling around on the PC as follows: 5:30am – Wake 5:30 – 6:30 – coffee 6:30 – 7:15 – Facebook, Google & occasionally looking at the blank page that is titled synopsis for The Serpent Bearer 7:15 – 7:30 – Decide to blog about how I’m not achieving my goal. Masterful, yes? This is very typical for me as a writer, though. On that rare morning when, my mind is not scattered, thoughts are congealed and I can bang out the proverbial 1500 words that Stephen King says is normal for a writer, I bang out several pages and actually feel like a writer. No, I don’t write every day. I believe there are as many ways to approach writing as there are writers and do not believe in a set routine that breeds success. Oh, well back to work. Do you want me to Google anything for you?

Garden District

Here's a peek at my cold, rainy afternoon in the Garden District in New Orleans. Note the ferns growing from the huge branches of trees. How they do that?
