Thanks for Supporting Blue Shadows

I would like to thank those who have read or are still reading my new thriller. I am getting great feedback on the book, and I am hearing that readers “can’t put it down”. People are also apparently waiting anxiously for the audio book to be available on Amazon. Sorry, but I am not sure when the audio book will appear, so my best advice is to keep looking on amazon and soon it will “p Read More

I Still Can’t Find The Old Man

It’s been about six and a half weeks since the shadow men, or his “handlers” barged in to my office and demanded information from me regarding his disappearance, or more truthfully, how they lost track of the old man.  I haven’t heard from them since, but I imagine they have been replaced by new colleagues after that major screw-up.   But the emptiness I felt inside from his absence had be Read More

Bob Started It

As my part-time writing career continues, curious people occasionally ask me how I started writing or perhaps why I started writing. And of course, I never gave it much thought as to what triggered the origins of this bug, or itch to put words down on paper. I just started writing. Then I wrote some more. Went to writing conferences, and met a lot of people who were better than I was, and I practiced th Read More

Audio Book Auditions

Lake MIchigan Now that my book is closer to publication, the publisher sent to me 15 audio files of professional voice actors, or at least I assume they were professional, and I was asked to choose one to do the audio narration of my book. I tell you what, this was a difficult project. I listened to all fifteen of them and even asked a few people for their opinions, and I was able to narrow it down Read More

He Left Something Behind

I finished with my last patient of the day, but there was still another of my colleagues in a room with a patient. Two office staff remained in the office: a medical assistant to put patients in the room, take their vitals and write down their medications and enter them in the computer, as well as one remaining receptionist.  The rest had already left for the day.  I appreciated the quiet and the Read More

Get Ready! Release date set for 8/15/23

Finally, after 7 years of hard work, research, revisions, reviews and late nights, Blue Shadows, my thriller, will be published. It has a little of everything, which makes it unusual for a thriller: action, suspense, romance, sex, a bit of world events, and the presence of the almighty. Some readers may wish to consult their cardiologist before reading it, however, because hearts will tend to beat fast. Read More

We

It seems that it is too often that we allow our laziness to invade into our language, more than it should, like couch-potato words, I guess.  Our laziness with words borders on abuse and sometimes at least torture —of innocent and well-meaning little words. In fact, as a reminder, some of you may remember my eloquent, but silly treatise on the stupid ways we use the word “up”.  My attempt w Read More

Carsonisms Part II: Devour the tasty words but don’t spit

Enjoy these little teasers.  But remember, when you share, they are copyright protected from publication. But here’s what you need to know:  We all have enemies and we all have friends, but in the end, we must be true to ourselves and to the almighty God. We are here for a reason, whatever that reason is, and if you are given a gift from heaven, use it and maximize it, but do it for the bene Read More
