Bud Higgins

Just found out the owner of Higgins Bookstore passed-away. He was the owner of the Higgins Bookstore and huge supporter of yours truly. I had promised him a first edition of The Passionate Jihadist. Stings.

Me - n - Mark Twain

Same applies to me. Not Dead or in Hiding but Simply Marching across Wisconsin!

Wrongfully Convicted

So 'The Central Park Five' were wrongfully convicted as children and sent away by overzealous police. Sure looks like I got it right in "Brand of Justice" doesn't it?

Entertaining & Informative

The secret to becoming better informed, with a smile on your face, is to . . . gasp . . . read something that'll make ya better for it. Suggestion . . . Son of Hamas. I mean, if they're good enough to bomb shouldn't they be good enough to understand?

"The Word" is Unavailable

Thanks for the questions. The 'Word' is not available for additional work. I loved the Meet and Greet where we discussed 'The Passionate Jihadist' but unfortunately I did not have specifics on the release date. Just part of the publishing world I suppose. I'll keep you up to date on this site! Love Today because It could be your Last.

Bobby 'The Word' Wangsness

Man what a gift. My Editor in Chief is truly heaven sent. He is heading to Russia but oh c'mon man. No collusion. Just plain awesome insight into the English language. I thank him and here is to hoping he enjoys Moscow.

The Passionate Jihadist and a Great Beta Reader - Reuban.

So lets see here . . .  Cordite is a term often used in novels. Big-time. So why isn't it in my story? I wanted more than anything to impact my readers with the Real McCoy so to speak. Many thanks for the Greatest Beta Reader in my honest opinion. Reuban "Boards" Boorman! You see Cordite isn't used anymore, so every-time you encounter it - in a novel - you shouldn't. Keep an eye out when reading your next John Stanford Prey story. Thanks Reuban.

The Passionate Jihadist & Sri Lanka

Atticus Finch said it well . . . "To understand someone, you have to wrap yourself in their skin". That my friends is why The Passionate Jihadist was written. 207 dead and the death toll is rising for those who went to Church for Easter Mass.

And What a Journey . . .

it has been. Some of you remember the secret meetings I had with the Middle Eastern Women in Denver. I called it Breakfast with The Iranians. Right? Then I met up with and was sworn to secrecy by the Soldiers outside of Minneapolis St Paul. My god and what insightful meetings they were. Left me dumbfounded and wordless - right? Didn't last for long. The Passionate Jihadist has been taking shape and I have just stole a base and am within scoring distance.

As Walter Cronkite use to say . . . "In seeking truth you have to get both sides of the story." You have seen me do it with Brand of Justice and I continue that tradition now as I continue my journey to home plate. "And that's the way it is . . . on April 10, 2019."

Violence begets Violence

Really? Something has to be done about this. First educate yourself. Seek to Understand before being Understood. Read stories by Hosseini - whether it's A Thousand Splendid Suns or Never a Child or . . . you get the picture. Tons of books for you to get after.



Seeing is Believing

People who hit up my blog know where I stand on the issue of protestors. The point is, can't we agree to disagree and respect the other ...
