With only six days left until the end of the Chocolate Hearts Book Giveaway, I thought I would share my best Valentine experience. The best Valentine experience had nothing to do with romantic love at all. It was more of a tradition and an expression of family bonds than a showing of romantic love. Being [...]

As a writer, I am always pushing myself to see how much more I can produce without jeopardizing quality. Many fear the planning over the execution. For me this week, I believe the execution has proven to be the greater challenge. I’ve seen it in writing my current work in progress, Early Withdrawal, as well [...]

The Cardinals didn’t win, but I am proud of them because they made the Steelers earn that title. I understand a loss [...]
