Book Review: The Regression Strain by Kevin Hwang

Move over, Michael Crichton and Robin Cook. There’s a new specialist in the room, and his name is Kevin Hwang! Young Dr. Peter Palma must put his own personal and physical demons behind him as he joins the medical team aboard the cruise ship Paradise. Something evil...

Who Dunnit?

The old 19th-century Victorian house at 221 Baker Street was owned by one of the Ridley descendants, Osgood Ridley. He turned it into a club based upon the characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and their adventures in analytical deduction, logical reasoning,...

Lest We Forget

March, 1942 It was in February 1942 that FDR signed Executive Order 9066, which turned 125,000 Japanese Americans from citizens to internees with no homes, businesses, or foreseeable futures. In March 1942, the Hisagawa family in Tule Lake was forced into Army trucks...

Characters in The Calendar

A reader of my novel, The Calendar, asked me why there were so many characters in the book. There are so many books written about the end of the world caused by war, climate change, alien invasion, and collisions with asteroids or comets. Yes The Calendar features a...

The Inspiration Behind: The Two Terrors of Tulelake

What starts the juices flowing for an author sitting at a keyboard, staring at a blank screen? What actions inspired the words? I was researching the horrors of the Nazi concentration camp at Treblinka when I found information about such a camp here in the United...

Where’s The Gold

Readers of my novella Chasing the Sun have asked where my story’s inspiration came from. Well, grab your popcorn and iced tea and read on. In ancient times (the 1970s), yours truly and a friend (we will just call ‘Jack’) were driving from Texas into New Mexico. We...

Overstated and Underutilized Leadership Today

"While the ambition of the hallowed framers had been 'inseparably linked' with building up a constitutional government allowing the people to govern themselves, he [Abraham Lincoln] feared that in the chaos of moblike behavior, men of the likes of an Alexander, a...

Storytime with Bubba

I’d be honored to introduce you to a good friend of mine. Thank you, Mr. Gunn. Welcome to my world, ladies and gentlemen – my name is Bubba. It is dark outside as I write this in the middle of the night when it is a little cooler. The strange sounds and smells of the...

Pondering the Mysteries of Life

I am feeling a little weird today, so please bear with me. Some of these are original and some were stolen (I mean copied): If you throw a cat out of the car window, does it become kitty litter? If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? Is it okay to use the AM...
