    I’ve had a lifelong love of bookstores. Yesterday I had a small epiphany and realized that this love is still there, but it has changed… What triggered the thoughts about bookstores was sitting at a table chatting with passers-by about my books. I had paper copies of them arranged on the table in front of…

    Written by Sanford Begley I’m reading the second book by a new author. I won’t tell you who because it doesn’t matter. I have barely started it and am already disappointed. Not because it isn’t a good book, it is so far. And not because it isn’t as well written as the first, actually I…

    As a writer, there are parts of my character’s lives I just skip over. I want to focus on the changes, the action, the crises and triumphs. The days of waiting, or just plugging along doing the work you need to do in order to make your goals come a day closer. Those are the…

    There’s a dog at the neighbors making a noise. When I first heard it, pre-coffee and still half-asleep, I walked to the back door and only realized it wasn’t our girl wanting in out of the back yard when she came up to my feet and sat down expectantly looking up at me and waiting…
