      Art is easy. Design is hard. In a book cover, I have to capture the entire thing – and that’s not a picture is worth a thousand words. It’s more like the picture is a hundred thousand words. Oddly enough, it’s easier to do client covers. I can detach, step back, pull up comps…

      Rob writes excellent stuff. And this is the final book in a trilogy, so if you like to read completeness, as I know many of you do, it’s perfect!  And just in time for a long holiday weekend.  With no further ado: None Call Me Mother

      For this week’s prompt, I wrote a little bit of flash fiction.  Time’s Tractor John Grundler was looking at the very nice Jersey calf when his granddaughter popped up at his elbow. “Granddad, you’ve got to come look at this!”  He startled; he hadn’t heard her coming.  To his dismay, his hearing was not…

      I’d been reading John Locke, as I revisit the origins of my beloved country and remind myself where the freedoms I currently enjoy stem from. It’s a good thing to do periodically, as time erodes with it’s passage much that we took for granted. Locke, at length, proposes to trace the origination of the…

      This is a free association post, intended to get my mind warmed up and ready to write. You see, I came home from work, stopped to talk to my son about his day, sat down to write, helped my son make dinner… well. Got up, helped, sat down, “Mama, how do I…?” Sat down,…

      I’ve given up trying to write this coherently. Flash pieces, and scenes, is the best I can do right now. I’ll come back later and put it all together like stitching up a quilt. Or Frankenstein’s monster. I’m just busy and tired. Mostly tired, and we are entering the Dark Season. I don’t do…

      “For when any number of men have, by the consent of every individual, made a community, they have thereby made that community one body, with a power to act as one body, which is only by the will and determination of the majority: for that which acts any community, being only the consent of…

      I intend to persist with the posts on freedom, at least for a little while. It means many things to me. Not just the freedom politically I hold in our great country, to cast votes – and to hold the electoral process to the fire when it should be tested to see if it…

    “Liberty.—The worth of a thing often lies, not in what one attains by it, but in the difficulty one experiences in getting it. The struggle for political liberty, for example, has done more than any other one thing to develop strength, courage and resourcefulness in the human race, and yet liberty itself, as we know…

        This story is coming out in dribs and drabs. I’ll continue to put up the bits with prompt responses in them. Unfortunately Indian Summer is also giving me the allergies. So my brain, she is not what she should be.  Wonderland Johns was staring at the derelict car.  “What is it?” Shelby asked. …
