Tis The Season - December 5th, 2016
Thanksgiving has come and gone, and we’re in the thick of the Christmas/Holiday Season. From Thanksgiving through the entire month of December is unquestionably my favorite time of year. Without Christmas and all the trappings that go with it, though, I don’t know how I’d get through the long,… read more

Election Day has come and gone, and like so many of us, I am beyond relieved that’s it’s in the rearview mirror. Up until two years ago, I would have thought you were smoking too many extra-legal substances if you’d told me the campaigns would sink to the level of depravity this one did. I sto… read more

Oh, be still my trembling heart! Can it be? Is it truly possible? Is the first installment of Book 2 finally done? YES! It is done. After almost a year, it’s finally done. And not only that, with its posting comes a totally revamped World of Letoria website. I cannot express just how relieved I am… read more

Hi everyone. I have great news to report! I finally – finally – finished the first draft of Chapter 1/Book 2! This was by far the hardest one to finish. There’s been a lot going on.

Eulogy for a friend - July 27th, 2016
It came as personally devastating news. My longtime friend, mentor, and supporter had passed away. It came with very little warning. Even with all of my experience in end-of-life nursing, it slipped by me unexpectedly. I strongly I suspected he was heading down the path toward the end, but not so s… read more
Update 6-25-2016 - June 25th, 2016
Hi everyone. It’s way past time for an update. My silence hasn’t been completely my fault. As you know, I don’t do the uploading to the World of Letoria website. That’s a job my dear friend and mentor Invid Fan has done for me for quite a while now. As I said in a previous up… read more
Update 4-24-2016 - April 24th, 2016
It’s been a sad time for the music world the last few months. This week, we lost one of the few true geniuses of the second half of the 20th Century, Prince. Coming so soon after the death of one of the other true geniuses, David Bowie, we are left reeling. Is this the end of the Rock genre? I… read more
Update 3-16-2016 - March 16th, 2016
This has turned out to be much longer than I originally intended, but that’s as it has to be. It’s something I’ve been putting off for a long time. Now I have to let it see the light of day, or the pain will never go away. It’s deeply personal, so whether you read on or not i… read more
Update 2-20-2016 - February 20th, 2016
Greetings everyone. I hope everyone had a relaxing and romantic Valentine’s Day. It was a frigid morning here, so there was absolutely no interest on either my wife’s or my part to roll out of bed before noon, so we celebrated beneath the covers with breakfast in bed. I haven’t got… read more
