Thoughts On Being Thankful

    Thoughts On Being Thankful

    Thanksgiving is approaching and although it's not as big a deal in my family as Christmas is, I always try and take a moment to remember what the holiday stands for. Figuratively. To be thankful. I'm thankful for my family.  They are always there and always support...

    Book Release: Follow The Money

     Now, from one of America's unsung writers, Ross Cavins, comes a book so humorous, so vile, so inane ... it could only be a cry for help. Re-edited and re-released in July, 2010, just in time for the Christmas rush. If you're looking for that perfect gift to give the...

    Yard Sale Fever

    So I had a yard sale with my parents and my sister this past weekend.  I know what you're thinking, in October?  Don't worry, the weather was a brisk 60 degrees; it was nice.  Rain had threatened us all week but it came a day early and stopped around four in the...

    On Scrivel: 24 in 24

    I just posted a piece I wrote about the "24" phenomenon.  It really doesn't fit in as a Short Story or a Flash Fiction or even an essay.  But I feel it fits Scrivel's new format.  24 in 24
