Spending the afternoon hangin' with "That Rebel" under the Georgia sun ;)

...the first time my son planted his feet onto Georgia soil, he tilted his face toward the morning sun, inhaled a breath, the intoxicating salt from the nearby coast causing his tongue to tingle, and said with a smirk, "Dad, this place is intense."

Olivia J. Herrell, a Georgia Peach with a writer's voice that sings, has graciously posted her thoughts, and the conversation we shared, over the publication of my recent release, "South of Charm."

...this girl's something else, constantly touting my poetic voice, (without realizing how envious I am of hers ;)

...A Monday Morning Interview with Christine Danek

...Monday mornings are typically reminiscent of such fond duties as pulling teeth, or visiting the local license bureau during the noon rush hour. On this day, however, I offer a little something to ease the doldrums of the week's infancy.

The Charming Endeavor road trip journeys eastward for a visit with interior designer / aspiring writer, Christine Danek.

She'll be offering pointers on the improvement of my cluttered office space, as I share my experience on the publishing process of "South of Charm."

Call it a day for renovating and reading ;)

So Close, but...In Time ;)

...we both spend our winters warding off the mid-western chill. Our work resonates like that of a set of twins living across the country from one another, yet still somehow knowing what the other is doing, and thinking at all times...

Okay, perhaps it's not that creepy, but Micheal Di Gesu and I tend to write with very similar voices, and often times of related subject matter. Not a week goes by when I finish reading one of his posts over at "In Time" and think to myself, "Holy smokes! That's what I would'a said!"

Today we meet up in the Windy City to hash it all out. Just a couple of guys rambling on about "South of Charm," the lousy weather, and the power of a sensitive "voice."

One click and you're there...check it out!

A View from The White Pages

...normally Mondays are nothing to write home about, today however, is worth a bit more than a simple mention and a smoldering cup of coffee.

Sarah Pearson from The Empty White Pages posted a review of "South of Charm," along with a little Q & A...just a little something to actually look forward to while struggling with the opening pages of a new week ;)

Sarah's a dear friend, an admitted bookworm, and an avid storyteller. Hop on over to see what she thinks of her journey through "Charm!"

...Spending the Weekend on the Piedmont Grille!

...not sure about you guys, but from where I'm sitting, the skies are a dream with a happy ending ;)

Hello from the Piedmont Grille, where the autumn temps carry enough warmth to spark nostalgia, the breeze at sunset smelling of barbecue lathered in hickory and herbs.

I'm spending a quiet Carolina evening with fellow writer and good friend, Anne Gallagher at the Piedmont Grille. She recently finished "South of Charm," and has offered her thoughts, along with a question or two about a boy named Danny Kaufman, and something or other about an interesting cat.

The Grille's sizzling up a feast that'll make one's heart swoon. Stop on over and check it out!

...Cornered by Lola's Wolf Pack ;)

...what's a tour of the promised lands without a stop at Lola's and her well-mannered reader base known as The Wolf-Pack?

The lovely Lola Sharp has pinned "South of Charm" under a microscope and won't let go until I spill the beans!

Lola's a fun pal to hang with, making for an entertaining stop along my road trip.
