I Can’t Draw.
When people learn that I write books (you know, for kids) they almost always ask this question: “Oh, so do you do all the drawings, too?” When I tell them I couldn’t draw to save my life they end up looking a little disappointed. Trust me, nobody is as disappointed as I am. The thing is: My kids LOVE to [...]
Two TKTs. Two Days.
You know, I thought I’d be the kind of dad that was always there. You know. Ready to build a fort at a moment’s notice. The kind of guy that doesn’t get tired of going to the park or will watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse in the morning EVERY morning. I also thought I’d be the kind of dad who had [...]
Cool Stuff (or Why I’m Not A Better Blogger)
You know, there’s really nothing worse than someone blogging about how great their life is and how they’re getting to do cool stuff, right? Yeah, I know. Feel free to click the back arrow now or delete your feed to this poor, neglected blog. I can’t say I blame you. But hey, there’s gotta be an excuse for just leaving [...]
Rockin’ After Midnight
Did I ever tell you about the time someone slashed the tires on my car? This was back in high school, so I’m pretty sure I didn’t.

I Feel Like I Owe (You & this Website) A Post.
People of Earth…how are you? Things have been cooking in my part of the world, but I’ll be dashed if I don’t set aside some time to put something up on this musty ol’ blog. It’s my duty. I ain’t new to this. WRITING NEWS (if this stuff bores you, skip on ahead yo) I’ve been spending pretty much all [...]
Grave Diggin’ & Gettin’ Published!
Wow. Someone should really dust in here, you know? I’ll get right on that. As some people might have suspected, I’ve always wanted to be a writer. Pretty much since forever…you know, if forever is 2nd grade. Sure there were the occasional career changes I considered along the way (Archaeologist, FBI Agent, movie director, astronaut), but I knew in my [...]
Getting Back Out There – New Year’s Resolutions and Other Garbage
When my parents used to tell me that time goes by faster and faster the older you get, I never really believed them. Seriously. How was THAT even possible? Like another year gets slapped onto your total and life just eases down on the accelerator a bit? Didn’t seem to make much sense. Holy Hannah, people. It totally makes sense [...]
