		<title>Near-apocalyptic Snorker</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK, so I&#8217;ve been trying to figure out for freakin&#8217; years just what it is that I write. Thrillers? Sort of. Suspense? Kinda. Mysteries? Not really. Humor? On good days.
And&#8230; drumroll&#8230; It finally came to me.
The Near-apocalyptic Snorker.
Huh???? I can see the wheels spinning behind your eyes. &#8220;How the hell did you come up with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Public Consumption</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK, so The Flyover War project is getting a bit consumptive, of both energy and time. Unfortunately, doing things that haven&#8217;t exactly been done before often are. It&#8217;s a lot like publishing your outline, then figuring out how the heck you&#8217;re going to stick to it now that it&#8217;s out there. Or like building a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Interesting Article on CNN</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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&#8217;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 [...]]]></description>

		<title>CS Indy Interview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m juiced. I did a newspaper interview last week with Jill Thomas of the Colorado Springs Independent. No details until her article comes out this week, but I would like to say that the Indy has been a great supporter of Pikes Peak Writers and the Pikes Peak Writers Conference.
Thanks!
Ron

		<title>Harlan Coben, you&#8217;ve broken my heart</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know what you&#8217;re thinking, but it&#8217;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 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sailor the Dog Makes the Front Page</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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:

		<title>Boomersaurus is extinct&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, so I knew all along it couldn&#8217;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 &#8211; unfortunately a five hour show is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Realistic Characters &#8211; REALLY Realistic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every day something new comes at me from the websphere that I hadn&#8217;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 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Learn to Write A Friggin&#8217; Synopsis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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 [...]]]></description>
