You who know me, realize I can’t spend the whole month of May without working in the yard, or making an honest attempt at a fresh walleye or turkey supper. Spending time out doors takes away from my writing. Today it is raining; I have the time, but not the inspiration. The chapter I am working on is easy enough, …

March 19th in upstate New York and my tulips are already poking their heads out of ground which is normally covered by a three foot snowbank. 1)Have the seasons changed, and why are we experiencing such record heat? 2)Did you stand a broom in your house and believe it was due to solar flairs or planetary alignment? 3)Did you try …

  With eighteen chapters behind me and another twenty two or so to go, I feel pressure for the first time since I started this project. I have set a goal for around Juneish for publication.  My Alpha team is also putting pressure on me for more reading material. I want them to push me, but I don’t want push …

PROLOGUE      The World’s population approached the twelve billion mark. Millions migrated. The problems of every land locked nation changed almost overnight.

Farming moved north, but all too slowly. Famine plagued …

Chapter 3 The earthquake.  Matthew 27:51-54 (ESV) 51:  And the earth shook, and the rocks were split.      Beth looked up at me, and I down to her. The sound increased to a deafening thunder below our feet.      “Earthquake!” Beth grabbed me by the arm.      I could see over the hedges into the next lot, where she couldn’t. …

  Writing this post is difficult considering my cover is done. All I want to do is look at it. The realization that a dream is about to come true is enough to overwhelm. By the time I see dollar one, it will have been seven years I’ve been at this project. Seeing the cover, not to mention showing it, …

   In the business of real estate, it’s location, location, location. In the novel business it’s timing, timing, timing. I have been wasting time. It’s time to put on my big boy pants. I’ve been at this a long time.  No that’s not what I mean. What I’m talking about is useing the (Bogus) hype about the end of the …

  The response from my Alpha team is more than I could have imagined. Not only have they read and liked the chapters I gave them, but many have asked me to step things up. Have I hooked them?This is not a top secret document, so when a member is done reading, he might pass it on to another, or just leave …

Around 2:30 pm today, the small town of Malone N.Y. shook. Workers at the local Walmart went outside to see if a truck had hit the building. Others thought it was a rare December thunder clap. Super sonic aircraft were the most probable suspect of the window rattling, but there is one other possibility. A small asteroid entering the Earth’s …

2011 brought many new findings in many different fields of study.When I asked my wife Charlene what she remembered most from last year, she mentioned all the falling stars lately. There are no more now than there ever was. Meteor showers are being announced more often by the media because we can more precisely predict them. The same goes for …
