Interesting Article on CNN

ron | April 6, 2009

CNN on-line published an interesting article on self-publishing today, and sometimes it turns out that the responses are more interesting than the main article. I won’t go into a lot of detail, because you have a finger-clicker right there in front of you [and I hate taking the time to paraphrase what somebody else has [...]

Harlan Coben, you’ve broken my heart

ron | January 30, 2009

I know what you’re thinking, but it’s not in THAT way.
For someone who spends hours in a car every day, audio books weigh in right up there with the microprocessor in the advancements of the 20th century. I listen to at least one every week, sometimes two.  A lot of my driving is late-night from [...]

Sailor the Dog Makes the Front Page

ron | December 21, 2008

Cool! My writing partner, Sailor the Dog, made the Cafe Press holiday front page in the Yellow Lab category, with this little goodie, that also comes in a smaller size and has a matching mug for humans:

Boomersaurus is extinct…

ron | December 12, 2008

Ok, so I knew all along it couldn’t last forever, just thought maybe a little longer. A little over a year ago, a virus did a bit of nerve damage regarding my vocal chords. I worked with a marvelous speech pathologist who brought me back a long way – unfortunately a five hour show is [...]

Realistic Characters – REALLY Realistic

rlc | October 26, 2008

Every day something new comes at me from the websphere that I hadn’t thought of (and me a strategic kind of guy). Today is certainly no exception.
I write a lot of stuff that has corporate executives at the core of the story. OK, not too uncommon in these times. The place it gets interesting is [...]

Learn to Write A Friggin’ Synopsis

ron | September 6, 2008

Jeeze Laweeze! Again it’s been forever since anything new has appeared on this page. Why? Is Ron one lazy SOB or what? Nope! Probably the opposite. But being the guy that I am, I’m going to lay the blame specifically on [somebody else]. It’s all about that last post, wa-a-a-a-a-a-a-ay back on the 30th of [...]

How to HATE a Book!

ron | May 30, 2008

I never thought I’d say this. I LOVE to read, I’m surrounded by books in my office and throughout my house. But in the past 14 hours, I’ve grown to hate a book. The tough part is that it’s one of MY books.  I’m getting it ready for the Colorado Gold contest, so I won’t [...]

Where the Hell… Episode Three

rlc | April 20, 2008

Where we find out how Darth Vader came to be… sorry, wrong story.
Yes, I’m freakin’ allergic to antihistimines. Ain’t that a drag? When I have a serious reaction, I have two available meds. An Epi-pen, which is a spring loaded syringe of ephinepherine that hurts like hell, and prednisone. Predisone is a corticosteriod that works [...]

You Gotta Love Those Spiders

ron | April 12, 2008

You are so not going to believe this!  (wow, that sounds like my 25-year-old)
Internet search engines use programs called spiders to snoogle (how do you like that for a word?) around websites collecting information and building directories.  Google, Yahoo, Ask.com and a kazillion other web indexes use the little bugs.  Anyone who uses the internet [...]
