I can’t believe that Read an E-book week is half way over. This week is just flying by. Before you know it, the weekend will be over and it will be time to face one more Monday morning. The site sponsoring e-book week has a nice article posted by David Lieberman about the Future of E-Books so you might want … Read More
Facebook – Warming Up
I am warming up a little to Facebook. A lot of that has to do with finding more friends on Facebook than I was able to before. I am still frustrated by some of the restrictions with the site, but doing better. The thing that helped the most was having people from my high school alumni site start telling people … Read More

Titans Best USM Eagles in 3 Games to Zip
Our beloved Titans hit the road this weekend, starting an 11 day trip in Hattiesburg, Mississippi where they took on the University of Southern Mississippi Eagles. The Eagles traveled to Goodwin Field to play the Titans for the first time last year, and we were able to complete a sweep of the Eagles then. While the team is looking stronger, … Read More

March 8th signals the start of e-book week. Why is this so important? Well, as technology advances more and more devices are popping up to enable us to read a variety of material outside of the traditional confines of a printed book.

Let’s Read
I can’t believe that it’s almost over and I almost missed it! March 2nd is NEA (National Education Association) Read Across America day, which focuses on motivating children to read. The date for the celebration was chosen to coincide with the birthday of that childhood favorite Dr. Suess. (It’s ok, you can still like Dr. Suess as an adult. . … Read More
Celebration Dance
I think I can finally come down from the clouds now. I finished writing the sequel to Misfit McCabe late Monday night, and inside have been dancing on table tops ever since. It is a fantastic feeling when you put that final period of a manuscript on the page.
Recharging the Batteries

Since this past Saturday, I have been working almost exclusively on articles for the blog, but haven’t yet published any of them. The reason is that I have been been reading and reviewing books for the Lulu Book Review and now am … Read More
Acai Berry – Snake Oil or Superfood
Yesterday as I was surfing the net, I decided to pop Acai Berry into the search box. I thought I would see what the cost was for this little berry that has everyone in an uproar to determine whether it would be something to try to get me through the holidays without gaining a few more unwanted pounds. I’ve decided … Read More
Reviewing the Lulu Way
I have a new activity that will be occupying part of my time, which is writing book reviews for the Lulu Book Review. I always enjoy reading and this will give me an opportunity to read more and different types of work. Another good thing is that I will be helping to promote self-published writing and will be able to give encouragement to my fellow authors.
Upgrade to Griffie World
Me and my bright ideas. I keep coming up with ideas that seem to entail a whole lot of work on my part. I am going to have to talk myself into some ideas that require less work on my part one of these days. Anyway, the latest, greatest idea is requiring a complete upgrade of the Griffie World website, … Read More
A Labor Day Break
With today being part of a holiday weekend, I really didn’t get to accomplish much today in the way of writing, marketing, etc. I’ve mulled over some ideas, but that has been about the extent of things.
