Embrace the Silence Silence drowns out any other sounds that could soothe with ordinary, which is no longer, hurled out with familiar routines wrapped in the loss of a loved one. Thoughts are in disarray, stretched to breaking over the fresh impact of loss, familiar routines seem pointless, and a steady bombardment of memories that […]

Popcorn Wars
Pop Corn Wars I have heard people say that “life is a constant struggle“. I am a partial believer of that statement when things like ‘getting-up-in-the-morning-to-beat-the-school-bus’ are a part of my regular reality. Every weekday morning, I am confronted with another ‘beat-the-bus’ struggle to motivate my kids to get up…get up…get goin’. I suppose each of […]

Their connection was spiritual and rooted in deep family blood ties. Kat had DNA markers from her mother’s side of the family acquired generations earlier through a Puebloan Indian tribe that […]

Box of Dreams
The storyline I’d been working on for “Undaunted” held me captive for most of the day. That’s a good thing when that happens, but it’s exhausting.

There are some things we should leave well enough alone. I pray the day never comes when we build a superior technology with ‘organic’ fingerprints framing every aspect of humanity, with one exception – a soul. Can we even write code to mimic human compassion or empathy in the absence of a soul? Call me […]
As I researched Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the Dreamscape Conspiracy Series, I became convinced that no single definition does complete justice to what AI can be or how it can behave in human hands. Scientific discussions and exploratory investigations span a spectrum ranging from courageous innovations to catastrophic impacts on humanity. Given that I am […]
Give Chase… What’s funny to me, and almost scary, is how God’s Spirit orchestrates circumstances driven by a plan I cannot see. He brought me here, to this place, this moment, to find a post buried in an archive rarely checked, to be a perfectly timed reminder. It’s not snowing yet, but it’s coming… * […]
As an author, I receive a ton of unsolicited messages from a range of folks — many with no selling skills, tact, or limited capabilities — but plenty of praise and promises that almost read as though they were scripted—by an AI bot— to support trolling. I delete many because they’ve done no pre-call planning. […]
