Tackling the first chapter of the next book in a series is always a challenge. I recently received excellent feedback for book five of my Other Worldly series, Alien Sensation, of which I’m currently three chapters deep into drafting. The trick is not slowing the pace of an opening scene with too much back story. […]

I recently braved commercial air travel along with too many others, including families with kids flying during summer vacation after more than a year of COVID pandemic isolation. I was finally visiting immediate family members, especially my elderly parents, for a trip that was cancelled three times in 2020. I can now unequivocally state there’s […]

International Endangered Species Day was May 21, and I missed writing about it then because I was drafting the final chapters of Being Alien, fourth book in my Other Worldly series coming this fall, in which I address the plight of the honeybee in both the US and the UK. Endangered species are plants and […]

The novels of my Other Worldly series have a definite food focus. And though protagonist Rowan Layne is a foodie of the first order when it comes to dining out, she’s no culinary wizard in the kitchen. Her sister Gwynne aka Gigi is the one with the gourmand gene. Rowan doesn’t think butter should have […]

Curious cloud formations feature in my Other Worldly series, beginning with the first novel, Alienable Rights. In particular, saucer-shaped clouds, wherein protagonist Rowan Layne quips about how they must be an alien cloaking device, a՛ la Klingon, used to camouflage UFOs. Her CIA ex-boyfriend also jokingly tells her those clouds are the result of a […]

The pathetic cry of “witch hunt!” from easily threatened egomaniacal males like that of the former guy and his sanctimonious cohorts in crime is laughable. As well as outrageously, flamingly ignorant. So much of what this sniveling passel of right-wing wimps claims as persecution these days is ridiculous, but this constant bleating about witch hunts […]

Today, July 8, is the date of the infamous 1947 incident in Roswell, New Mexico. During a severe thunderstorm, a crash occurred at a ranch. That much is undisputed. All other elements of this event remain questionable, despite the government attempting to mark it as “case closed” fifty years later in 1997. Which brings to […]

The past four years it’s been almost painful to look at an American flag, much less proudly fly one on the Fourth of July. That beloved iconic image has been heinously commandeered by those who hold a treasonous Confederate flag of racist losers in equal regard. Not to mention flags with their dear demented leader’s […]

The oath taken by federal government officials, the same I once took as a lawyer for the Department of Defense, is about upholding the Constitution. It does not include allegiance to a flag. National flags merely represent or symbolize a country. Flags are neither foundation nor substance of what makes a nation, though there is […]

After the recent airing of Pentagon video footage of UFOs obtained by military aviators, there’s been a bit of shaky-ground back-peddling—from our federal government. Gee, what a surprise. And an eye-rolling disappointment. To wit, no one wants to go out on a limb and call them UFOs, despite that’s precisely what they are. UFO, after […]
