Thanks, JC Phelps! :-)

Author J.C. Phelps has very kindly featured my book today on her blog, jcphelps.blogspot.com. Ms. Phelps is a resident of the Black Hills, South Dakota, and is the author of the successful Alexis Stanton Chronicles. In a rather nice esprit de corps, Ms. Phelps generously donates her time to helping promote the work of new independent authors via her blog. Thank you, Ms. Phelps!

Annnnnnnd … my descent into the Shanty Irish Existential Vacuum continues, as my friends persuade me to try cheap cigars. (If it’s $1.50 at 7-11, it ain’t no Cuban.)

What’s next? Pot belly? Receding hairline? Wifebeater t-shirt?

I’m going to be Al Bundy by the time the Mary Washington College Reunion rolls around …

“Fickle Muses” magazine isn’t exactly “fickle” if they reject every poem that I send to them. That’s more like … “Adamant Muses.”

Oh, well. They were still nice about it.

All Hail the New Flesh!!!

A friend in Vegas sent me this link.
