Read Ink: August 2015
http://gerry-doyle.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
A consideration of books, sports, life and sometimes writing. Monday, August 3, 2015. A dark and loosely plotted future. Greetings, friends of the blog. You're in for a treat: this will be the second post in a row about writing! I'd like to talk to you about "Ghost Fleet." (Like "Callahan Crossroads,". It's about a world war, but it's a little. less kid-friendly.). I'll try to keep this general and spoiler-free, but if a few plot points slip through here and there, my apologies- you've been warned. OK Ch...

Read Ink: March 2015

A consideration of books, sports, life and sometimes writing. Tuesday, March 10, 2015. The Danger Zone, as seen from two continents. The Internet has given humanity, for better or worse, the ability to share just about anything with millions of people. Cat memes. dumb jokes. vital economic data. it's all there. First, what does a modern fighter jock's hype video look like? Here's one of the best, from the Navy's VFA-27 Royal Maces. Squadron, which apparently has Michael Bay on staff:. The PLAAF video, by...

Read Ink: Kind of a big deal
http://gerry-doyle.blogspot.com/2015/03/kind-of-big-deal.html
A consideration of books, sports, life and sometimes writing. Sunday, March 8, 2015. Kind of a big deal. Yeah, yeah. you are by now tired of first sentences that go something like, "I know it's been a while since I've posted, but blah blah blah." So we'll just dive right in. First of all, Kansas won the Big 12 again. This is cool not just because it's incredibly rare for one team to win a power conference 11 times in a row, but also because it sets the stage for a Spinal Tap reference:. McBooks Press, Inc.

Read Ink: Why isn't the future now?
http://gerry-doyle.blogspot.com/2015/06/why-isnt-future-now.html
A consideration of books, sports, life and sometimes writing. Monday, June 8, 2015. Why isn't the future now? As I stare down the barrel of an upcoming 14-hour flight back to the United States of Awesome- this time with a tiny human being- I ponder a different reality. A gentle universe where 14 hours is two hours, and "how on earth will we distract her for half a day! Becomes "hey, maybe she'll just nap through it.". The thing about this scenario is that it was this. OK, so the engine was good. Avio...

Read Ink: Happy America Day, America!
http://gerry-doyle.blogspot.com/2015/07/happy-america-day-america.html
A consideration of books, sports, life and sometimes writing. Sunday, July 5, 2015. Happy America Day, America! As always, I think it's best to digitally celebrate the United States of Awesome with furry characters who have funny voices:. Enjoy your fireworks (if legal), burgers (if you have a grill) and red white and blue paraphernalia, wherever you are! Labels: fourth of july. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Read Ink: August 2014
http://gerry-doyle.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
A consideration of books, sports, life and sometimes writing. Tuesday, August 19, 2014. Ferguson didn't have to be Ferguson. I worked for a few years as a reporter in Chicago. In stints as the night cops guy and on general assignment, I covered more than a few of what the police department called "police-involved shootings." In layman's terms, that meant an officer had shot someone. After talking to the boy's relatives at the hospital where he was being operated on, I went back to the neighborhood, where...

A consideration of books, sports, life and sometimes writing. Friday, July 24, 2015. Callahan Crossroads, Anola Pickett, and You. Greetings, Friends of the Blog! Today I bring you a brief conversation with the children's author Anola Pickett, a talented writer who also- in the interest of full disclosure- happens to be my mother. Her latest book, "Callahan Crossroads,". Came out earlier this month and it's a bit of a departure from her previous. Kansas City features almost like a character in the book...
