The whiskey says “you’re brilliant, keep going.” The deadline says “you’re behind, keep going.” The wrists say “please stop.” Guess which one I’m listening to at midnight.

Hello to other writers and authors. I’ve written two books that I consider my memoirs with a sprinkle of sci-fi—The Alien Ring and The Alien Ring 2: Secrets Unlocked. It’s available on BN, Amazon and Apple Books including ebooks. No audio books. Too expensive to produce. That’s for the big boys.
