Writing News – June 2026

Greetings,

So, the website is done…kind of.  Apparently, the galleries are not showing up on small devices (phones).  I have been out of the web design game for a couple years, and although I have a fairly good working knowledge of graphics, html, and css, the whole responsive design thing is another thing altogether, at least for me.  To be honest, I think the whole mobile device thing has done nothing positive for the world in general, for too many reasons to list in a blog post, but it doesn’t change the fact I’ll have to buckle down and fix the galleries.  This is not a particularly difficult problem, or would not be if I did not have to wear so many hats in regard to my creative career, but I do, and there are only so many hours in a day.

On the positive side, I am back to writing, working on both a non-fiction work, as well as a screenplay treatment of my third novel, “Permutations of Reality”.  I also have begun preliminary work on my next fiction work, which, like my memoir of years of domestic and legal abuse, will be sure to rankle some hides.  If I do it right, that is.  I also plan on putting out more videos on my Youtube channel, the Write Side, in the near future, so if you haven’t checked it out yet, be sure to do so.  I don’t mince words on my channel, so if you like unfiltered commentary, be sure to come and check it out.

More updates coming soon…

Until Next time,

Writing News – May 2026

Greetings all,

Now that the website is back up and running, I have several writing projects in the pipeline that I am working on simultaneously.  I still have an art site to rebuild, but the writing projects are taking priority for the time being.  These include a non-fiction account of domestic abuse from a male perspective, based on personal experience, as well as adapting my third novel, ‘Permutations of Reality’ into a screenplay.  Both of these projects are already underway, and I am determined to finish both by the end of the year.  As I set aside time just about every day for these projects, I have no doubt I will realize these goals.

After these projects, I will be returning to my horror and dark suspense roots with a new novel.  More news on this as it develops.

Another of the many hats I wear is that of producing my YouTube channel – The Write Side.  I’ll be back to producing new content for that in the near future.  As usual, so much to do, so little time.

Thanks for reading,

Until next time…

…Aaannnd…We’re Back

Greetings all,

It’s been a while since the website has been active, and for an author, this can be quite a stressful time.  It took time to find a reliable web host after the debacle with my former host, and even then, I ran into problems importing the blog database from the old site.  Forcing me to redesign the site did have it’s advantages, however.  The old site was quite a bit larger, and though it had a lot of information, I felt it was a bit much for the casual viewer.  I removed all the sub-menus, and condensed the site down to its core pages.  I like the new design overall, and I hope my visitors will as well.  I will continue to tweak things if I feel the need, and add to the galleries and blog pages, but the site is finally functional once again.

I’ll be posting as often as possible going forward.  I have several writing projects in development, as well as my YouTube channel, and will post news on these going forward.  As a quick reminder, my current works are available on my catalog page.  I appreciate any and all fans of my work, so bookmark the site, and follow me on social media to keep with all the latest developments.

Until Next Time,
