This is a shot of the "unofficial" dog park here in Carroll. Doug the Pug and I
go here everyday.
The first paragraph of A Tear-Stained Letter;
 It was just after 11
o'clock on a Friday night when two Memphis police detectives knocked on my door.
I didn't know exactly what they were going to tell me, but I knew it wasn't
going to be good.

I am a former broadcast journalist and am
now a writer. I have written one memoir and am working on a second
one. You can read more about me
here.
I will put news about me here in the
"Buzz" section as well as whatever else is on my mind.
 It
is raining now (Friday night) and I am sure many Fourth of July
BBQ's are affected. But, the whole weekend is ahead...
In
Chapter 18 of my book
 A
Tear-Stained Letter I write about a video which
Melinda and I
found incredibly funny.
This is the
video. If you want to read my full manuscript, send me an
email.
I
think I have finally figured out the problem with this website not
loading or displaying properly. I had a YouTube widget loading at
the bottom of this page that, apparently, has some bugs and it was
messing with my HTML code. So, I just deleted it and it seems to be
working fine now. Let me know if you have any problems seeing this
page. Thanks!
It
is the Fourth of July weekend and I am planning on going to the lake
and a few BBQ's with Julie. The weather is supposed to be nice (not
too hot).
I
am
 SICK, absolutely
 sick
of all this Michael Jackson media onslaught. Yes he was talented,
but
he was a freak.
Several chapters of A Tear-Stained Letter can be found on the
BookBulb,
RoseDog and
Goodreads websites.
PLEASE
COMMENT ON WHAT YOU HAVE READ! THANKS!
In addition to my videos on my
YouTube page, I will post
them to my page on
MyFortDodge.com. Click on the link below to view the
entire collection.
A man named James McEachran read the sample chapters I have posted on this
site and wrote to me wanting the full manuscript (which I sent) and he had
this to say:
"I have read the first part of "A tear stained
letter" and thought it was absolutely fantastic. It is one of the most
heartfelt reads I have ever read..."
On writing A Tear-Stained Letter; "...all I
did was take a knife, slice open my heart and write about what fell out."
