Dreams Without Dreamers
I talked in another blog about the fact that so many, too many, of us have had their dreams denied by systems they had nothing to do with putting in place and with barriers neither they nor their families helped to build.The world was against them because of their skin color, religion, sexuality, income level,… Continue reading Dreams Without Dreamers
The Slippery Real
Boy, oh boy did that slippery slope we have all been navigating suddenly turn into a water flume ride. WHOOSH! Down we go. It was bad enough when we had to start contending with the new breed of gaslighters who did it for profit and power alone. Bad actors that weaponized misinformation in ways never… Continue reading The Slippery Real
Leave It
There’s something a bit macabre and unnerving in the need to whitewash, for lack of a better term, fiction and ‘art’ of any sort. While civilization and attitudes and beliefs should (should, I say) be more malleable, ‘fact’ and history should be set in stone. You don’t have to like it or agree with it… Continue reading Leave It
Art Is History/Art Is Commerce
It seems almost comical that we are suddenly thrust into a time of corporate greed and power that art can be made to casually disappear in order to save a few dollars. We are in a time when the malfeasance and poor business practices of corporations and mega-corporations has filtered down to the creative side… Continue reading Art Is History/Art Is Commerce
Finding Our Footage – found footage musings
As much as folks get burned out by found footage, I tell you what, I never have, and consider myself lucky. I can see why you would get burned out, the style of found footage films being so strong and pronounced, that it’s a bit like the superhero burnout. It makes sense. The thing though… Continue reading Finding Our Footage – found footage musings
A Shadow On The Violets has arrived!
I am very excited to announce that my newest book A Shadow On The Violets has been released. This is very, very far removed from what I have been known to write and I am thrilled at how this turned out. In the idyllic halls of a forgotten retirement home the shadow of Death looms… Continue reading A Shadow On The Violets has arrived!
Coming Soon…A Shadow On the Violets
COVER REVEAL! I have been teasing this book for a bit now but it's time for it to come out, finally. Eventually. Soon! I wrote this book a couple of years ago at the behest of someone and thought I would challenge myself to write outside of my comfort zone and am thrilled with how… Continue reading Coming Soon…A Shadow On the Violets
The Beast We Created
Sometimes it’s hard to blame a system for the cage we ourselves made. Sure, there are always people we can blame, faceless suits we can point a finger at and declare that THEY did this to us and that we are free of guilt but the fact is that in many instances we allowed them… Continue reading The Beast We Created

Comfort Food – blog
I don’t know if we will fully understand the cost we paid for Covid for many years. Not the cost in lives, or the cost in the economy, or even the cost in our children’s welfare but in the general welfare of the society as a whole. We paid a price that there was no… Continue reading Comfort Food – blog
Performance Art
It’s become a distant memory by now, something that’s nearing twenty years old but which still sticks with me. I have never been the most confident of ‘performers’ when it comes to doing readings. I have said this in the past. I read very quickly and I’ll fumble around with words and the WORST is… Continue reading Performance Art
Use The Struggle
I think it’s safe to say that all of us struggle in some way or another, whether it be financially, emotionally, creatively, or in some other way. Struggling is part of life. It’s how we react to the struggle, how we meet it, and how we learn to use it or overcome it that can… Continue reading Use The Struggle
