Read more "Today Only: 40% Off all Lulu.Com Books"The Apache Wars by Paul Andrew Hutton. (History Book, 2016). This meaty (500+ pages), well-researched (check out the rather massive bibliography) and very well-written volume focuses on the years 1861-1890 and all the key people on all sides of the epic struggle for control of the lands that became the states of Arizona and New Mexico.

Read more "REVIEWED: The Apache Wars"The night’s 3rd DVD film was the 2nd Men in Black feature: Not quite up to the original, but still much fun. A couple folks debating favorite brands of rifles and cars. Later: some impassioned dialogue about people snooping on others on Facebook, etc. And as a final change of pace, the nights’ 4th movie […]

His latest, […]
Read more "REVIEWED: Razor Girl"Apologies for posting this late. My laptop’s battery was running very low Thursday night and I kind of got into the evening’s 3rd movie (see below, I had never seen this–the Rob Zombie remake of the slasher classic…). Friday was Veteran’s Day and the public library was closed. I did get online briefly, sitting in […]
Read more "10 Nov. at the Grand Midway, Part 2"Tonight’s first DVD movie at the Coffeehouse was the original Slap Shot, filmed on location in and around Johnstown, PA (about 8 miles west of where I sit this minute). Way back when, my Mom and I sat the stands of the War Memorial ice rink as they filmed a couple scenes (Paul Newman, skating around, […]
Read more "Nov. 10, 2016 at the Grand Midway"“Appraised Risk,” a tale of erotic vampire horror and my newest work of short fiction, has been published by the online site DEADMAN’S TOME. All potential readers please be aware: This is a rather extreme piece, with explicit sex and violence. That said, I think it is a powerful and effective work. And it is […]
