Lucid Dreams
I had a very vivid dream last night. I rarely remember my dreams. But this one occurred just before I woke up. The last scene dissipated as I sat up in my bed. It concerned a friend I grew up with – Steve “The Greek” Athineos. Steve was an infamous NYC street rider who turned […]
Grandchildren Are Cool
Grandchildren allow the elderly to appreciate that the family line continues. They are a legacy. When I was casting around in my head for children’s characters when writing The Wise Ass, I figured why not incorporate the grandkids. That way, if it just ended up just collecting dust in a drawer, at least they would […]
When Blue Is Blue
The Irish know melancholy when they see it. In fact, we invented it. Right before we invented Poitín (Poteen). The crows came by Boot Hill yesterday to pay Jeter their respects. Appropriately dressed. Despite the company, Blue is definitely missing her buddy. We’ve been going out of our way to try to show Blue extra […]
The Eyes Have It
Lisa hates when I write about her. And she will never let me post a photo of her. It would be easier to prove the existence of some of my characters. But this morning my darling wife goes in to have cataract surgery on her left eye, so she won’t be able to read my […]
Jeter and The Alley Cat Cafe
Yesterday morning, Lisa decided that we should have breakfast at The Alley Cat Cafe up in Ft. Collins. I love this spot for its college and Greenwich Village bohemian vibe. The regular host most weekend mornings is a fine young Scottish line Celt named Gavin Morgan, who has made it a point to remember my […]

It Never Gets Old – Where The Ley Lines Meet Is Up On Amazon – The Final Installment Of The Claire Saga
I’m just as excited seeing WTLLM up on Amazon as I was first seeing The Wise Ass first appear on that website just about three years ago. The additional appearances of An Alien Appeal, Kissing My Ass Goodbye and Finding Jimmy Moran during those three years has done nothing to take the bloom off the […]
RIP – Jeter Wallen McCaffrey
Back sometime in late 2010, Lisa’s mother, Mary, entered an assisted living community in Florida. Mary had a young Maltipoo named Jeter, not much more than a pup, who had already established a reputation among the family of being a demanding little bugger, prone to fits of endless barking and digging under fences to escape […]
When Amazon Pushes Your Product – TCT SALE ON 12-10-23 – $1.99 For All 3 Books.
That discount packaging would save the Amazon shopper about $7.00 over purchasing the three Kindle books separately. Strategically speaking, this was a wonderful idea, because BRW was betting that the first book, The Wise Ass, which was a bit of a phenomenon, built around my very real mystical mule named Claire, would drive the reader […]
