Announcing my latest writing project: Confessions of a Tiny Genius Foreward: Becoming a grandfather—Pops, to be specific—has been one of the great surprises of my life. Not because I didn’t expect to love it (I did), but because I didn’t expect to see it so differently. Being on the periphery of infant care is an entirely …
As I wandered through social media this morning—scrolling past posts, comments, headlines, and hot takes—I noticed a familiar pattern. People tend to cluster around voices that echo their own. It’s human nature, really. We gravitate toward viewpoints that align with ours because it feels safer, simpler, and more validating. Especially as we get older, we …
Warning: a couple wee spoilers. I finished this book today. It wasn’t the kind I normally read, but it was recommended by someone I love, so I gave it a try. It was melodramatic. There were no magical spells, spaceships, or alternate dimensions. It was about people. Relationships. Love, hate, anger, envy, and above all …
Warning: not spoilers, but kinda-sorta hints will reveal themselves in this review. Ok, this isn’t a perfect book. You won’t walk away from it as a changed person, you won’t fall in love with any of the characters, and you won’t cry, or scream in horror, or anything like that. But it is fun. It’s …

Stories like those are enjoyable, if not for their uniqueness, but perhaps for their familiarity. This is no such …

Kinda hard to swallow. And the decision-making by the author; who makes their protagonist such a jerk? Sometimes, the grouchy …
I saw a funny meme the other day. It depicted our solar system, complete with the sun and all the planets, but our earth was flat as a board while the celestial bodies that surrounded it were depicted as spheres. The caption read, “Well, this is awkward.” The cartoon elicited a quick chuckle from me, …
Category: Technothriller/Sci-Fi Ok, I liked this one. Not because of the science because, to be honest, it was pretty thin. Multiple universe theories are pretty common in sci-fi that touches on the quantum realm, but this was a bit fantastical. Stretched me beyond the comfort zone. Besides, I don’t believe in multiple universes; I think …
