A Decade Older and Worlds Apart When my mother and I moved from Los Angeles to Miami, I was not happy and overall nonplussed by this disruption to my life. The four-day trip on the train was fun and would have been more so if it had been round trip. I was almost twelve and finishing the 6th grade, and the thought of making new friends for a month and then heading off to junior high school without knowing anyone was not a concept I wanted to embrace. It was no secret that I was less than … [Read more...]

I do not advise posting fiction excerpts online just to see what happens. I've seen ideas get taken before, and I always advise writers on the safe … [Read more...]

Elyse was my age and we'd both been students at UCLA during the late 1970s. She was married and they had a … [Read more...]

How You Do Anything Is How You Do Everything
Are You Achieving the Level of Success You Want and Deserve? Early on in my journey toward a life of writing and entrepreneurship, I heard a saying that stuck with me...

It made sense as soon as I heard it, yet it played over and over in my mind each time I thought about its meaning in the days that followed. Was it really true?
