I recently learned that fans of the show Games of Thrones were rushing to buy Siberian Huskies, because they looked like some kind of wolf on the show. Knowing the vanity of people and their insane desire to be part of the fantasy of their TV world rather than face their own reality, I believed this story. I’ve never seen the show, but my son says it’s popular.

Following the shooting in Las Vegas, there was the natural search for a motive. My wife had it best when she put it simply: “The man was crazy. There isn’t a cure or understanding crazy.” I wasn’t surprised to see the call for gun control again. I ha...

I heard recently that some civil rights activists find it offensive that statues and memorials commemorating the American civil War remain standing, and they want them torn down as if destroying them and the memories of history would change our problems today.

Eons ago, when I started my first book, I didn’t know squat about writing. One of my first problems was keeping my imagination flowing. Back then I hadn’t developed the writing habits that help keep my imagination going like nowadays. The only thing I discovered was that I needed to relax.
