Thought for the day...


"There is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy.
By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world."

My very first Halloween costume...

I was only about three at the time, but I remember it pretty well. My mother made a cute little rabbit costume for me, and a Donald Duck one for my brother. She dressed herself as Zorro, and my father went as a woman (first and only time I've ever seen my dad in drag--he didn't look half bad, LOL). Then we all went trick-or-treating together to the raucous amusement of the entire neighborhood. I ought to explain that my mom was a petite five-foot-two and my dad is six-foot and muscular. So, there was Zorro in "his" mask and cape, dwarfed by this big, busty femme fatale... the two of them herding around a fuzzy blue bunny and a duck in a sailor suit. Memories like that stick with a person. :-)

Why I write comedy...

For starters, because that's the way my warped mind works. :-) I can't keep the comedy out of a story even when I try. But an equally big reason is because I view humor as kind of a mission. I’ve always been a big fan of the classic screwball comedies of the 1930s and '40s (all those old movies with actors like Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn), and I want to capture that same sort of spirit on the page. The interesting thing is that those movies were made during the Great Depression, and a little later during World War II, very stressful times. But those old comedies were courageous and sweet and always so uplifting. They were successful because they helped people forget their problems for a while and gave them hope for a brighter tomorrow. There’s something very healing about laughter. I think there’s even more need for it today. Once again we live in very stressful times with a lot of uncertainty. By writing comedy I’m trying to give people a break from the tensions we all face. There’s enough anger and tears in the world already. We need to find more reasons to smile.

Close door, Open window!

I like to think everything happens for a reason - hopefully a good one. What happened to me this past week was that I lost my website hosting service...and with it my website. All of it. And all without a word of warning, I might add. Was I surprised!

Ah well, I probably needed a new site anyway...

The thing is, I don't have time to build a whole new site right now. I do, however, have this lovely blog, which you'll notice hasn't been used much, so it's almost like new. So, for the moment, I'll be using this location as my "new site." Cool idea, huh? :-)

Granted, there's not much here - yet - but know I'll be adding more in the days to come. In the meantime, for those interested in my books, just click the title links in the sidebar.

Onward and upward!
