Blog #141; Some thoughts on Life and Happiness

 I am working on a novel about the life of a man who lived throughout the 20th century and towards the end it gets a little reflective.  What meaning do you come away with after living a full life?  What makes up a full life?  I don't think I come up with adequate answers to those questions, but I think the questions are worth asking in the first place.  


What makes us happy?  I have thought a lot about this, as my religion asks a lot of questions about the "Plan for Happiness" and seems to answer them quite well.  Surrounded by family that loves him at the end of his life, I think the main character has found the secret to a happy life.  What are your thoughts?

Blog #140; Story collection for review

 For all book reviewers: I have available audiobooks of REDEMPTION:STORIES for review.  Just contact me at this website or email me at provocanyonreview@gmail.com and I will give you a Free Code to access the stories.


After taking a much needed break from writing, I am back to writing poetry and short stories, and trying to fill up the well for the next book.  I have already written some new stories, but nothing I would feel comfortable sharing as of yet.  I am part of a support group of writers at the VA, and I have been sharing some of my work with them.  Feel free to comment on this or any other Blog, and feel free to contact me about reviewing my books.

Cheers!
