So for those who actually read (and liked) my book… Yes I’m working on SOL number two. No it’s not done… I thought I share some of my favorite “Les-isms” to date… I don’t know how many of these will make it to the final copy, but they were a lot of fun to write….

I want to see more REAL men. Preferably NAKED REAL men… Or not.
I came across this post I want to see more REAL men. Preferably NAKED REAL men.. a while back (Go ahead, read, I’ll wait… waiting… waiting… la la… ) Amusing yes? It’s a good start, but it doesn’t go far enough… I would like to suggest a few additional articles : Creative Duct-taping, going beyond muffling…
There’s no place like home…
Hey Peeps! Since I’ve carried my blue haired self back home to visit my Mama (hence the lack of regular posting and neglected social media presence,) So over the next few days I thought I’d share my love of Mooresville, Nc. For those not familiar with the area, Mooresville is located in southern North Carolina…
NSFW:Profanity! These are the times that try mens souls… Tyranny, like hell is not easily conquered.
Everywhere I look, it seems like lunatics are running the asylums; corrupting the very principles that are our nation’s birthright. “Religious freedom” and “liberty,” once the cornerstones of our national identity, have become catch-phrases; right-wing code meaning the opposite: “Religious Freedom” is only for the religious who belong to the right religion. And “Liberty”…

The Summer Mom went Crazy
Paladin of Lost Causes This is my requiem To tradition, the Old Guard Blamed, belittled, castigated, Bombastically harangued in bellicose derision Casualties of iconoclastic mendacity I am the paladin of lost causes This is my lamentation To tolerance Obsequious, timorous, reticent Chary of a ubiquitous double standard Dogmatic chauvinism practiced with malevolent hubris I am…
The Dead Don’t Eat, They Rot… When a short story out grows its britches.
My soon to be published novella grew from the short story below. I wrote it never intending for it to be published, I just needed another item fill up a student portfolio and get a grade. This is why I’m always telling my kids to save all their work no matter how unimportant it might…
My Cover Art…
Folks have been asking about the first “The Science of Loving” cover and why I changed it then returned to it. So it’s like this: I loved most of the original illustration. I spent forever getting the tattoo designed just right. But days started turning into weeks of digital painting. Writing and editing chores weren’t…
Cover me….Dead Dwight update…
Hey folks, I’m toiling away on Dead Dwight. My (hubby) test reader has informed me that it’s a hard read, so I’m reconsidering the POV: Changing it from first person to third. That will allow me to switch the narration to Standard American English, leaving only the dialog in American Midland English. Unfortunately this requires and…
