    A few reviews have popped up for Cold Run, and while they are by and large positive, the first two that I found on Goodreads both mentioned the same problem – the book is hard to get into. Don’t get me wrong – I appreciate honesty in reviews, and also the fact that people took…

    Yesterday was kind of exciting. In addition to it being Cold Run release day, it was also my mom’s birthday. She and my nephew Mikey are down for a week to celebrate, so even though the morning was a “hard rain,” as Mikey put it, we still made it out to the Farmer’s Market for…

    Three years ago I sat down with a character who had surfaced during one of my writing exercise sessions. A grumpy, disgruntled werewolf, Rick Keller showed up in my notes the night that the organization he used to work for came to get him. Throughout the next year or so, this short excerpt stayed on…

    You ever have that moment where you travel from New Jersey to Georgia to go to your husband’s military ball, with a dress carefully packed away that you bought in a NY Macy’s — you get to Georgia, unpack the dress, put it on, do the hair and the shoes and the makeup, link arms…

I keep thinking that I need to research the ever elusive sources for a piece I’m trying to put together about innovation in…

    This week, my assignment for the Taking Command documentary project – our film about women leading in the US Army Military Police – was to follow up with the Army public affairs offices we have contacted (so far, still working on this…) and to research possibilities for crowdfunding our initial, promotional film, as well as design…

    When Zeus is away…   Michael G. Munz’ book, Zeus is Dead: A Monstrously Inconvenient Adventure, opens with a simple premise. Sick and tired of hanging out on Mount Olympus, eating ambrosia, and getting bossed around by their older brother/husband/both, the gods conspire to assassinate Zeus and thus rid themselves of his most annoying edict —…

    I first pitched this project accidentally while sitting on a bus filled with 2014 GI Film Festival filmmakers. Striking up a conversation with Catherine Campbell, producer of the documentary film Oro Macht Frei, I found myself talking about my experience in the US Army Military Police Corps, and my desire to highlight the amazing women…

    In the period of time since I posted a long, rant-y post about how I was kicking the Facebook habit, one of the common rebuttals I’ve been subjected to concerns the ostensibly “free” aspect of the service.
