Hi guys,

As you know my publishing house is merging with a larger company. How will that change things? I don't know really but I will let you know as I do. I know I get to keep my editor Carly and I trust her implicitly. So I guess wait and see. They have movie deals and things. I guess that's exciting.

TRUTH: I couldn't care less about fame and fortune. I am simple. My book I wrote to give kids, parents, teachers some tools they need to get out of crappy situations. Do I want my book in the hands of every kid in the whole world? Of course because it will help some one. Would I like a big, fat pay check? Well sure I'm not stupid (Okay that's a matter of opinion! LOL) But in the end I want to help.

Part of the reason alcoholics are considered self-centered is because we seem to think we MUST fix the world. It's true. And anyone who so much as sneezes in an argumentative way will be met with a rebellion on our part. It has taken years to train that mind set out of me... yet it rears it's head as it comes from having been ingrained in me in early childhood, That is DEEP. Hard to see anything in another way when your entire childhood you were trained to think differently.

Kids are my cross and my cause! Especially kids in trouble. I was always in trouble and it is a true testament to my Pappaw's patience that he never shot me in the face. YES, I was that kid. I think I turned out okay. At least I try to improve myself a bit every day. That's what counts in my opinion.

On this blog, I'd really like to hear yours!

Might post some more of my silly humor tomorrow as those seem to be popular. It's cool with me to keep it light on this as the troubles sometimes run screaming once you laugh. But I would like to hear what you would like to read too.

OH BTW more links and story titles for my book will be posted sometime soon as I have extended it... A LOT, including a competition piece that is a rather long short story. So look for that on the website.

That's my side of it,
