Been another rough week for me pain-wise, so I haven’t accomplished nearly as much as I’d planned. But, hey, we do what we can, right? I learned a long time ago that if self-imposed deadlines aren’t met, well… You know the rest. Work on the novella that will be the third book in the One […]

Full disclosure here. I wanted to play with ChatGPT again, and I also wanted to share about this new e-commerce platform, Gumroad, that I hadn’t heard about until my publisher notified me that one of my books was listed there for sale.

Happy Monday! A good way to start the week is with a smile. Total patient health care. When I worked in the hospital many moons ago, one of my duties was to attend the daily discharge rounds on the floors that I covered as a chaplain. These daily gatherings were attended by nurses from the

My apologies for not having anything on my blog to commemorate Memorial Day. It’s not like the holiday meant less to me than it has is years past, it’s just that my body decided to rebel with a myriad of issues that made me feel sicker than death on a cracker. Thankfully, my kids came
