I've Got a Secret...


So "The Trapping" is available today on Amazon in paperback and ebook format! And... the paperback giveaway drawing is tomorrow. There's still a chance to enter!



But I have a confession to make. I've been keeping a secret about this book. Some of you might pick up on it if you read the dedication.

I did not start writing this book to just be creepy and fun. I started writing it because, over the years, I've noticed that people that haven't thoroughly experienced injustice with respect to how they are perceived, have a very hard time imagining what it would be like.

Now, I've always been a story-writer. From the moment I could string together misspelt words into quasi-comprehensive sentences, I was writing.

I also have always been a huge believer in the power of words, characters and stories to evoke feeling and change.

Don't misunderstand me. Walter Higgins doesn't just exist to spread a message. He exists because this is his story.  None of us live our stories with the sole purpose of inspiring others. But if we do inspire - doesn't it make those stories that much more worth the pain?

Please leave a comment below! I would love to hear about a time you or yours were treated unjustly and what positives came out of that situation.

Happy Friday everybody! Be strong, be brave, and surround yourselves with people who will fight alongside you for good and right - always.

The Key to Respect: It's Not What You Think

Happy Birthday to me. Firmly in my thirties now and still don't feel a day older than 45. I've never felt my age and I always looked forward to packing on the years. Not because I was impatient to eat candy for dinner or leave on all the lights in the house. No, I wanted something far more valuable. You see, I had this strange notion that respect is a gift that comes with age. Age was the key to entering a world of people who would be your equals. When you put your key in the lock and turn the knob, you listen to and respect those behind that sacred door as much as they listen to and respect you. So each year, on my birthday, for many years, I waited with hand outstretched - eager to receive my "key". Surely at 18, 20, 21, 26, 30... And then I discovered it. The hard truth. Respect doesn't come with age. There is no key. For a time, I confess, I despaired. Not because I wanted people to think well of me but because I desperately needed people to list

Gemini Review

If you miss the days when movies held your attention and made you feel something - than Gemini Man is for you.  I love a good action movie like anyone else, but action without heart falls flat. I want to connect with characters. Feel for them. Understand what is happening to them - that's a big one that a lot of movies often miss. I want their worlds and relationships to feel real. Added points if I'm fighting along with them for some kind of justice and truth. Within the first few minutes of Gemini Man, I was thinking "Ok, this MC, Henry, feels real. He may be the best at what he does, but I can relate to him in little ways as a human being. He wants to slow down. He wants peace in his life. I get that." I was particularly impressed with his interactions with other people. He has conversations that give you the impression that he's talked to some of these people before and he intends to again. Which is how most of us converse. Dialogue written with the so
