http://www.magnoliarambling.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sometimes funny, sometimes frank. But always more than you asked for. Monday, November 10, 2014. I've been a little bored as of late.

Sometimes funny, sometimes frank. But always more than you asked for. Tuesday, July 15, 2014. A Brave New World. So I had this idea last night, that it's finally time to start novel number 3. I'd gone back and forth in my mind over what I should do. I could write the second part of The Brotherhood series, or I could write the next installment in the Eric Julian series (a la Chief of Staff'. Than with The Brotherhood. In all, I was the guest at three book clubs, each discussing Chief of Staff. And never h...

Sometimes funny, sometimes frank. But always more than you asked for. Monday, June 16, 2014. Why Do I Put Myself Through This? No, it isn't blogging that I'm talking about. I sat down at my computer desk, blew the dust off of my laptop, and started looking for a literary agent. Jesus Christ in a handbag, what am I doing? I am going to have to have some faith that that one person who reads Chief of Staff. And loves it wants to sign me, or at least have some further exculpatory conversations about how I se...

Sometimes funny, sometimes frank. But always more than you asked for. Wednesday, August 5, 2015. Originally published in 'Charlatan Magazine', 2013). Are we to interpret that as meaning a true separation of church and state relies on the secular actions of government, while not being counseled by the opinions of the religion of the land? Or does it mean something else? And which is ultimately more important? Man or his God? I don’t know. It certainly begs the question. What happened to the union? And why...

That just sounds wrong. How about the people who've read my novels? Why can't it be done today? Why can't it be completed today? I've got to carry my weight on this one. May...
