My Latest Interview

My latest author’s interview is up and available for reading.

Fellow author Matt Posner was asked by another fellow author André Jute to interview me for André’s blog Kissing the Blarney.

André also maintains a second blog dedicated to his books and focused on his writing career: André Jute

Matt Posner blogs as well: School of the Ages

André has split the interview into two parts. Parts 1 and 2 may be found at the links below. I hope you enjoy reading them, and there’s a humorous tale you might like in Part 1.

Fun Photo Friday — Ely Cathedral

Ely Cathedral

More pictures from our 2005 visit to England. Our daughter was stationed at R.A.F. Mildenhall and son-in-law was assigned to my old base at R.A.F. Lakenheath (I was stationed there in 1976 and 1977), about four and a half miles from Mildenhall and both in East Anglia. But rather than split the distance between the two bases, our clan decided to reside in the medieval town of Ely in nearby Cambridgeshire.
