A Second Act: A Book Launch Experience
http://geraldgillis.blogspot.com/2012/12/a-book-launch-experience.html
Sunday, December 9, 2012. A Book Launch Experience. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to launch the new book you've spent weeks and months writing? And then spent weeks and months attempting to find a publishing home for it? If you answered Yes to the first question above, let me see if I can explain what it's like. But first, let me note what it isn't like:. It's not like childbirth. How, you ask, do I know? So, then, what is it like? It's tense. Will readers like it? Will they talk about it?

Wednesday, May 23, 2012. A Memorial Day Remembrance of the Sullivans. There were five Sullivan brothers: Depression-era, Catholic Irish-American sons of Tom and Alleta Sullivan of Davenport, Iowa. George, Francis, Joseph, Madison, and Albert Sullivan discovered that when Pearl Harbor was attacked on December 7, 1941, one of their friends was aboard the USS Arizona.

Friday, February 24, 2012. Get Up Offa That Thang. It’s been an interesting year thus far. Already on my schedule was a trip to Israel, the trip of a lifetime with the tour being guided by none other than my eldest son. Yep, now I’m in a real mess. It took a while, but I think the hawk was telling me, “No pain, no gain. You’re doing the right thing.”. Get up offa that thang! I’m going to Israel. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

A Second Act: Birthday of the Marine Corps
http://geraldgillis.blogspot.com/2012/11/birthday-of-marine-corps.html
Wednesday, November 7, 2012. Birthday of the Marine Corps. On November 10, 1775, the Second Continental Congress authorized the creation of the U. S. Marine Corps. Two battalions were eventually raised from young men recruited from places like Philadelphia's Tun Tavern, the very first recruiting location of the Corps. Hence, on November 10, 2012, the Marine Corps celebrates its 237th birthday. And that's exactly what they got. Happy birthday, Marines. November 7, 2012 at 9:32 PM. Happy Birthday, Marine!

A Second Act: April 2012
http://geraldgillis.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 25, 2012. The Power of Prayer. Quite pulls at a grandparent (and I’m sure a parent) like a baby in the throes of a struggle. Thanks to lots of prayer, the 24X7 attentiveness of their parents, and some wonderful doctors and caregivers, both boys are today physically strong, willfully strong, and acting like, well, just like boys are supposed to act. And we are grateful beyond words, to say the least. Sunday, April 15, 2012. And I am forever indebted. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

A Second Act: July 2012
http://geraldgillis.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 16, 2012. Hard Drive, RIP. I recently had a tech support person with a hard foreign accent deliver the hard truth that my hard drive had crashed. I even paid for that diagnosis, while all along my instincts had been telling me that the hard drive was finished. Once confirmed, I had to consider the next steps. Buy a new hard drive and replace it myself? Buy a new computer? Shrug it all off and catch the next flight to Costa Rica? Bad news: I lost all my work-related Outlook folders and emails.

A Second Act: September 2012

Thursday, September 27, 2012. Dare Not Blink - Chapter One. This is a sneak peek at Chapter One of my new novel "Dare Not Blink" which is currently scheduled for a November release. The office door was closed, hinting that something was stirring, something big and essential and not widely known—something only for those privileged few who were deemed worthy to hear in advance. The Old Man’s got cancer, and it’s spreading out of control.". It was April, 2002. Elerbee in Elerbee Engineering—had been s...
