I was recently interviewed by “Voyage MIA”, a magazine that “fosters collaboration and support for small businesses, independent artists and entrepreneurs, local institutions and those that make” Miami interesting. When the magazine reached out, I was asked if my work or career had any connections to South Florida. I initially thought the focus on myContinue reading “A Recent Interview with Voyage MIA (Plus!)”

A Recent Article on My Work
Here are a few images from a recent article on my work that appeared in the magazine “Shoutout Miami.” I enjoyed being interviewed, and it gave me a chance to articulate some things I had never shared, at least not in an organized way. It also gave me a chance to talk about my writing,Continue reading “A Recent Article on My Work”
A Slightly Haunted Story
Prologue: Last year on New Year’s Eve, I was walking along Carondolet and had a strange feeling just as I passed the old police station on the corner at Saint Joseph Street. I had a strange feeling, as if I weren’t alone. As I stood there trying to figure it out, a streetcar came by.Continue reading “A Slightly Haunted Story”
Rethinking the Virtues of Being Hyper-Connected to the Digital Realm
Over the annuls of history, numerous products were successful at one thing but created unanticipated impacts. Invented in 1885, Coca-Cola made people feel good. It was billed as a “brain tonic and intellectual beverage.” It initially contained cocaine. It was addictive. Cocaine amounts were reduced over the years and eventually eliminated by the late 1920s.Continue reading “Rethinking the Virtues of Being Hyper-Connected to the Digital Realm”
True Writing and the Gift of Photography
Some people seem to just let experiences come and go. Little conscious effort is made to keep a part of what just happened to them. Life is just about experiencing things and that’s it. What’s next? There’s nothing wrong with that. It is a way to travel “light” through the journey of life. These peopleContinue reading “True Writing and the Gift of Photography”
Readers Wanted
Many of my friends are changing. They are reading less and watching (or binging) series on Netflix, Amazon or similar services more. I don’t altogether like it. It is making my world a bit less interesting. First of all, I feel a bit of pressure to watch these series in order to maintain cultural touchstones.Continue reading “Readers Wanted”
A Celebration of Hemingway…and Marfa, and Paris, and the South of France, and New Orleans…and More
The Ken Burns series on Hemingway will begin airing on PBS on April 5, 2021. The promos to his series got me to thinking about what was going on in my mind as I was writing A Moveable Marfa. The series looks like it is going to be incredible and honest. I worked on AContinue reading “A Celebration of Hemingway…and Marfa, and Paris, and the South of France, and New Orleans…and More”
A Couple of Cool Books on the West
I wanted to do short reviews on a couple of books I recently enjoyed. I find inspiration in the American West. I love the beauty, the isolation and the mystery. Having lived in the West multiple times, I have feelings there I seldom have elsewhere. The West offers the absence of people and distractions, theContinue reading “A Couple of Cool Books on the West”
Storms and Feeling Alive
“Just one more minute. Je me sens si vivante!” “Wow! You changed.” I stared in her wide open eyes. “I feel so alive too, I feel so alive when I am with you, hurricane or not.” “Moi aussi mon cher!” and she dug her face into my chest. The rain was so hard, the windContinue reading “Storms and Feeling Alive”
Why I write
I just finished the first draft of The Sommières Sun. It now goes on to editing and it is still on track for a spring release. I thought I’d take a short break from the book to blog about why I write. I write to entertain, educate and inspire. I also write to provoke thought.Continue reading “Why I write”
