Endings come in many sizes, shapes, and forms in fiction, nonfiction, and reality. Every story has a beginning, middle, and end. This is true of every fiction and nonfiction book that you could read or write, as well as reality. We, in these meat suits we occupy for a century or so, begin and end. Along the way, most of what we experience falls into the very wide middle. Some endings are very cut and
I have done branding and rebranding several times. In the fall of 2016, I began to put a LOT more effort into both my fiction and nonfiction writing. I had begun to post blogs at least three times a week and was working on my fiction to publish. The question that arose at the time was this – how do I brand myself?

For 2021, I got super ambitious. I was going to publish 6 novels total. All four that made up the first story arc for Forgotten Fodder and 2 more Void Incursion novels. I succeeded. At the end of 2021, I was
Been many years, for many reasons, since I could say I am going to a con. Several years back, now, there was the annual Steampunk World’s Fair in New Jersey. It was a fun local convention (con) – especially since I was getting into Steampunk at that time. In fact, I was so enamored of it that I wrote a Steampunk pirate/magic short story for the Spells and Swashbucklers anthology called The Vapor Rogues. Then,
I have even more blogs for you to enjoy. Please visit my original blog website:
I post here twice weekly about my work with Positivity, Mindfulness, and Conscious Reality Creation. I’ve been blogging every week, without fail, since the beginning of 2012.
