I love epic music! For me it is a perfect combination of the classic orchestral scoring, chorales and electronica music that I have enjoyed for decades. This stuff inspires me, and is a great companion as I write away on an exiting piece of fiction. Therefore, on Mondays I share a new piece by various... Continue Reading →
Photo Finish Friday: Hamakua, by Ulderico Granger
Click the picture below for full-size. On Photo Finish Fridays, I feature a selected piece of landscape photography that I have come across.

Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! I added 3,000 words to the new chapter three of Vivian’s Last Cigarette and almost finished it this weekend.

Throwback Thursday: J.R.R. Tolkien Reads from The Lord of the Rings (Circa 1953)
I just recently discovered this, and had no idea that such a treat for Tolkien fans existed! In 1952 Professor Tolkien encountered one of the first home-use tape recorders via a friend. In short order, it would seem that he fell in love with the device… using it to record readings of his work and... Continue Reading →

Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! I write this while it’s just a few degrees above freezing outside, pouring rain falling on melting snow.
