Two Years Later

It's been a while since I updated my website. I figure it's time because a lot has happened in my life. Personal, professional, and unprofessional. So let's get started. In January of 2014, I got divorced. Again. For the third time. I know, I know. Wtf? Believe me,...

What I’ve Been Up To Lately

What I’ve Been Up To Lately

I haven't done an update in a while, because I've been busy with several projects. Besides trying to grow my computer business (anyone need a website?!?!) and working on a new ending for my book On The Run (my agent told me mine was 'outdated' and to make it 'more...

An American in Germany: Day Four (Chilling Out)

Today, we chilled, as per the title. We didn’t wake up until 9 AM, and even then we guzzled several cups of coffee before we even thought about what to do. Shea and Drew had both gone to work today, so we were without a car. Thus we were reduced to wandering around...
