Thoughts on the battle between good and evil
Right now you are awash in a myriad of electromagnetic waves. They are coming from a variety of sources including cell phones around you, cell towers, wifi routers, satellites, and all kinds of other electronic devices. And you can’t detect any of it.

The benefits of the rise and fall of civilizations
In a previous post I talked about how human beings are perfectly adapted to live and thrive in small groups of around 100 people.

Retiring and writing a novel
I am older now, having lived a full and interesting life. And I have been a writer for two decades, having written 16 books so far. And in my travels I have met a few people who have retired and are writing a book. I find this interesting. It’s a kind of fantasy that some…
A tale of two different books and two different writers
I have a friend who admires me for being a writer. He always talked about writing a book and I am pleased to say he has finished his book! It will soon be published. But that isn’t what this blog post is about. This post is about two different writing philosophies. Visiting my friends house…
