Writing feels like floating in the ocean a few feet beneath the surface. A cluster of bubbles escapes your mouth and you watch as they drift upward to fuse with the glowing plane that distorts reality above you. You hold your breath and drift, keeping your depth with idle kicks of your feet and you …
Some of you, but not all of you, may know that writing is a gift that was passed down from my father. You may have picked that up if you read Genesis and took the time to read the dedication. Well, I know this isn't directly related to the ongoing Atom & Go saga, but …
That's a slight stretch. All we have around here in Corning are big hills, but the mist is there and it's beautiful. I'm sitting in my office, drinking my morning coffee and watching as the rosy-fingered dawn seeps through that mist. Maybe spring is finally here. I can hear some birds singing their morning song. …
My word, I never expected this side of writing when I was a kid. My new routine involves trying to finish up Trinity in the morning and sending emails out to book bloggers in the afternoon. I never realized how many people run their own book-blogs. Interestingly, every single one of them seems to have a …
As I've said in a couple recent posts, Three Furies Press has signed on to publish the second book in the Atom & Go saga. With a tentative publication date of early April 2021, I have my work cut out for me. As of today I have just tucked into the last segment of this …

Why does some literature stand the test of time and some does not? I started reading a book called Code of the Life Maker the other day. After fifty pages, I can honestly say that I'm intrigued, but there are some things about writing style and content that don't seem to pull as much weight …
What is fear? To be upfront, this is a completely unprofessional take on my perceptions of fear and what it drives us to do. So, if you are expecting a psychological treatise on phobias and the primal power of fear, I suggest you move on to something a little more scholarly. In response to my …
Lock-down continues. I woke up this morning and felt like a rock, not a log, a rock. I didn't want to move. I could hear the world churning up around me like an old car trying to start. It's an hour later and my brain still feels like a mixture of cement and oatmeal. Even …
As I sit in my office and stare out the window like Joey from Friends, longing for sunlight on my face I'm drawn back into the world of Atom and Margo. What does quarantine mean to them? Does it even affect them? I'm guessing not. I mean, they're the crew of a ship that flies …
