On Writing and Storytelling: Choosing Craft Over Coddling
Friday, February 27, 2026, Orlando, Florida Above all else, I consider myself a storyteller. To be specific, I’m a writer with deep roots in journalism and media criticism, and I’ve dabbled in poetry, screenwriting, and literary fiction. My journey down this winding path began way back in the early 1970s—picture a kid at Tropical Elementary…
The Sunshine State of Mind (and Sales Reports)
Thursday, February 26, 2026, Orlando, Florida Hi, there! It’s a cool but gradually warming day in Central Florida. As I write this, it’s 71°F (22°C) under mostly sunny skies.

Sunshine, Sweaters, and a Step Closer to Audible
Tuesday, February 24, 2026, Orlando, Florida It’s a brisk late‑winter Tuesday in Central Florida—though “brisk” here would barely register as a shiver to anyone north of the Mason-Dixon line. As I sit down to write, it’s just past midday, the sun is working overtime, and the thermometer reads a perfectly respectable 52°F (11°C). Not exactly…
In Which Florida Chills and Kindle Create Misbehaves (Again)
Monday, February 23, 2026, Orlando, Florida Hi, everyone. It’s a crisp late‑winter morning here in my corner of Orange County. The skies are clear, the sun is bright, and the thermometer is holding steady at 50°F (10°C). For us Floridians, that’s jacket weather; for anyone in New Hampshire, it’s practically spring. In Madison—where I spent…
