Only three days until April 1st, Script Frenzy start day! Oh. You thought I was going to say April Fools Day? Well, we Frenziers must be fools to sign up for this writing marathon! But I wasn’t content to just be a fool for writing. Oh no, I’m fundraising too. It all began when I…

Ditching iUniverse, Going in a New Publishing Direction for “She”
I wrote my second book — my first novel She — during National Novel Writing Month last November, revised it and got reader feedback and revised it again during Christmas and January, and then I had to decide: head down the traditional road this time and seek an agent or go back to iUniverse? It…
Imagining “Lifeliner: The EBook” on the Apple iPad
Back in the late 1990s when I was envisioning the different ways of publishing Lifeliner: The Judy Taylor Story, I had an idea for an electronic version. Back in the computer middle ages, the only way I could’ve does this was on a CD, a bit clunky as a medium I had to admit. But…
My First Walk Down Word on the Street

I had fun playing with the pitch of my voice,…
An Electronic Slideshow of Judy Taylor, the heroine of Lifeliner
My new Canon CanoScan 8800F scanner has been working hard, scanning prints, negatives, and slides of Judy Taylor and the area she lived in. And I’ve at last finished scanning and fixing them. As you can imagine, some of these decades-old slides were faded, some were a bit blurred being photos of photos, and some…
Photographic Tour of Judy’s First Post-TPN Home
Back in 1999, my ex and I drove up to Judy Taylor’s first house on the lake. I wanted to take photographs of not only her place, but also the area around it, the roads there and back, and of her church in Bobcaygeon. I don’t remember what I intended to use the photographs for,…
Diabetic in Sweden Reads Lifeliner and Helps His Feet
It’s been too long since my last blog post, but my mind was totally blank about topic possibilities this morning. And then I got an e-mail from my Swedish friend Britt Lindqvist, and my eyes popped. I met Lindqvist through the research I did for my book Lifeliner. Those of you who have read the…
