Last week for Six Degrees of Kool Books we had two great books featured, Heidi, which J.L. Mbewe wrote about and The Rainbow Garden, which Jenelle Schmidt discussed. While I’ve not read either of them, they both sound like wonderful books and I hope I will be able to read them one day. Of the two, Heidi was the one I …
My second favorite song to write to is probably at least as obscure as the last one, if not more so. Although it has a connection to an actual movie soundtrack, it is a unique arrangement that wasn’t in the movie. Making things even more unusual, I first discovered this song via the youtube video for it. …
As I’ve mentioned before, I am a terribly slow reader. Even though I’ve always loved stories, I was a late bloomer when it came to actually reading books. On the flip side, while I may not break any records for speed reading I tend to have a pretty high retention rate for what I’ve read. So …

I’d wager that at least some of the people reading this will have never heard the theme song from the …

I’m running through my playlist of the top five songs to write to and, as I mentioned before, it’s all songs from soundtracks and all instrumental songs at that. My number four song comes from a movie that is actually based on a book which I’ve reviewed and which I thoroughly enjoy and that is …
The Jammer and the Blade was the first novella I released, but it has struggled to garner much attention. Maybe I’m just a glutton for punishment, but I thought I’d give it one last college try by giving it a new cover. The past covers both had their merits, but I think this is the closest …
