Here is a wonderful look at the incomparable Tom Clancy’s career, courtesy of The Washington Post. (Isn’t it amazing that he began as a humble insurance agent?)
The anecdote about John Lehman, Jr. brought a smile to my face.
Honoring Tom Clancy
I am going to honor Tom Clancy’s memory tonight by continuing on with my latest read of “Executive Orders.”
I’m right at the point where the assassination of the Iraqi dictator by the Iranian sleeper agent has just taken place. Watching the tapes of the incident, new President Jack Ryan wisely asks Secret Service Agent Andrea Price for her assessment of the shooter and his motivations.
Check out the Wonderful Work of Jennifer Campbell-Hicks.
As it turns out, my old friend and newspaper reporter colleague, Michael Hicks, has married a very talented fiction writer. Her name is Jennifer Campbell-Hicks. I personally loved the pathos of her science fiction short story, “Caged.”
Ms. Campbell-Hicks’ work at Every Day Fiction can be found here:
Tom Clancy Passes Away At Age 66.
Dear Lord. One of my all-time favorite storytellers, Tom Clancy, has passed away. (I am right in the middle of re-reading “Executive Orders” right now.)
Thank you, Sir, for the countless hours of thrills, intrigue and entertainment — most especially with “The Cardinal of the Kremlin,” “Clear and Present Danger,” and “Debt of Honor.”
And rest in peace.
Quick update — Every Day Fiction released its October Table of Contents yesterday. My short story, “The Silver Leaf,” will be published on October 10.
Quick update — Every Day Poets released its October Table of Contents yesterday; my humorous poem, “Feast,” will appear on October 16.
“Threads” is a great read!
Well, I’ve had the opportunity to enjoy my copy of Dagda Publishing’s newest poetry anthology, “Threads” — and I must say that I am impressed indeed with the talent of my peers.
There is a wonderful variety of fresh voices there, among whose work I feel honored to have my own poetry included. (Incidentally, these include my friends Dennis Villelmi and Stanley Anne Zane Latham.)
It’s also quite an honor to see my creative writing available on Amazon.com for the first time — it’s a nice milestone for a neophyte writer. (A link to the Kindle version is below.) Thanks again, Dagda, for this terrific opportunity.
Publication Notice, Every Day Fiction to Feature My Short Story, “The Silver Leaf”
I’m honored to to be able to say that the online magazine Every Day Fiction will soon feature my short story, “The Silver Leaf.” This is a very short vignette about two lost souls in the Irish Republican Army, who discuss the perils of being “real.”
The story should appear sometime in either October or November; I will post a link when it appears.
Thank you, Every Day Fiction!
