I am a new member of American Author's Association



I have been invited to join American Author's Association, and have accepted. I believe that membership in this organization will further enhance my ability to become published once "The Way of Deception" is ready to be sent out to literary agents once again.

The nice thing is that the president of the organization is real easy to work with and has committed herself in assisting me in my journey.

The End of an Era

Been a while since I posted here. It's not that there hasn't been any news, just none that I felt was worthy of this page.

Now, something has come up.

Two years ago I was very healthy. Played basketball with my friends, golfed often, and participated in a five mile running race through mud and obstacles.

Now, I am a medical mess. My joints have stiffened, my muscles have lost their flexibility, I've had two hernias (one hole in the muscle tissue of my abdomen was 9cm X 14cm), a ring of tissue in my esophagus restricts my swallowing capacity, I have bowel discomfort, cysts, bulging discs, and a volcano in my stomach that erupts constantly. Now, it is getting to the point that it is becoming difficult to work, and type. But my writing is still moving full-speed ahead, despite the difficulty.

The good news is that my wife will be graduating from the university with a Bachelors Degree in two months, and her goal is to bring me home. Then, with my being able to write full-time, my goal will be to bring her home.

So far, it's been tough, but persistence is the name of the game.

Gary W. Moore on Political Pistachio Radio



On Political Pistachio Radio I interviewed Gary W. Moore (author of Playing With The Enemy) on April 7, 2007. The show was a rousing success. Gary was a fantastic guest.
Two of my regular listeners called in with questions, and Gary responded to them with the same class he normally exudes.
He answered every question fully, and made the show entertaining.
I feel blessed that he agreed to do the show.
And he sort of turned the tables on me, complimenting me for my show, and my writing, and proclaimed that I was going to have a successful career in writing and/or radio broadcasting.
Perhaps.
Honestly, my wife makes the show great, and my writing has been suffering because of my heavy work load. However, she will graduate from the university in June, and her goal is to bring me home to write full time. I hope then I can really get the writing career going.
I must thank Gary again for being a gracious guest. He made the show a delight.
