So, you can probably tell I’m not much of a blogger anymore. Since we started our business, and because I am still writing books, I had to let a few things go. Blogging was one of them. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to pop in here with the occasional (exciting) update…like, hey, look, I’ve got a new book… Read More
You know how some people take their life experiences and turn them in to self-help sort of non-fiction books? Inspiring stories of the way they triumphed over adversity or the way they turned lemons into lemonade or something of the sort… Those stories are often inspiring to read.

And you know what?… Read More
I'm sitting on my ginormous new sectional eating Boom Chicka Pop kettle corn for dinner and watching some weird David Blaine magic special with the sound turned off because the batteries in the remote control died. I just watched him pull a worm out of his belly button and nearly lost all partially digested popcorn as a result. I feel a little… Read More
