These seem like nice enough people, but they’re pretty loud. Am I not loud enough? Well, I’m sure my knowledge of bartending, beer, wine, and spirits will be far greater than...

Entrepreneur, author, teacher, winemaker. April 18, 2015. What writing death notices taught me about writing. I’ve been a professional writer for 22 years. The first time my writing was published was in 1993, when I was the circulation manager for a small weekly newspaper in Detroit.

My job was to put each death notice into a standard format, get the facts and spelling right, and have it all...

Entrepreneur, author, teacher, winemaker. March 21, 2015. My Writing Cave Quest. A couple months ago, I started a writing group. My vision for the group was that once a week, my writer friends and I would get together to write, talk about writing, act stupid, and share stories. I named the group the Hemingway and Gump School of Writing. I had a great time and got more fiction writing done than I had in a long time. So, I scheduled it again for the same time and same place the next week. I planned a writi...
