Fun Facts About "Big 'N' Hairy Ranch"

-

Item one: The story was inspired from a weird out at a real ranch that I went to.

Item two: They were playing The Beach Boys.

Item three: Not sure where the main character came from.

Item four: I had issues with the creepy Christmas lights floating around the place.

Item five: I took out some of the structures and added my own, but the gas pump and nasty green marshmallow salad was there, along with the locked pop case in the creepy shed.

Item six: Cousin Lucas's appearance was based on a guy who used to live down the street.

Item seven: I mentioned covid in passing and chuckled, because lost of magazines made it taboo to mention it. Since I'm flying solo, ha!

Item eight: Lorelei's rambling didn't need much editing.

Item nine: Men who don't take care of their beards look like Big Foot.

Item ten: The part of the dance where everyone was dressed like trashy cowboy and cowgirl was based on a 4th of July dance that I went to and lived to regret. It was in a barn and it smelled like a cow in there.

Item eleven: Nobody believes a word I say, so nobody would believe Lorelei.

Item twelve: Lindsey's voice entered my head and I couldn't get it out. I'm sure I've heard it somewhere and it annoyed me to no end.

Item thirteen: Old men wanting Lorelei to inherit their grandchildren is a true story.

Item fourteen: Big 'N' Hairy Ranch is one of my favorites.

Why I left Twitter. Now I'm free!

Twitter. Yuck. Bleah. The place has become a toxic mire. In 2012, I joined Twitter, because I was told it was a good place to promote myself. I gained over 10,000 followers and was heading for 11,000. The rules when I signed up said, "Always be kind and courteous." So I was. In the last few years, there have been droves of people being absolute trolls, jerks, and taking offense at every tiny thing, to the point that everyone had to mince their words. Twitter didn't kick these scumbags off. I began to realize that after every session on Twitter, I came off upset and frustrated. There is a writing community there who lauds itself as extremely supportive. It's filled with self-proclaimed authors who laugh at procrastinating their writing. They have memes stating, "If you're a writer, you're on Twitter right now and thinking you should be writing." Another one was, "If you SAY you're a writer, then you're a writer."...

One Star Reviews Usually Reflect The Reader

One star reviews suck, but they reflect the reader more than anything else. One I got from a woman who said she would post her review on Amazon if she gave it a three or higher. She also promised to buy the book, too, after she picked out the books she wanted to read. She picked mine, but a few months later, she asked if I could send it to her for free. I should have listened to the red flag that went up, but I didn't. The woman was already untrustworthy. I sent her a PDF file. She went onto her YouTube and complained about my book in the most condescending way. After I got over the stings enough to think clearly, I began to realize she complained about things that weren't true. She said there weren't enough explanations for this or that. Guess what, those things had ample explanations. I realized she didn't even read the book, but skimmed over it. Some of what she said were outright lies. Luckily her YouTube views could be counted on one hand. The other review was most...

Me and My Dogs

"Embers" is due out this year, not sure when, but start checking back for updates around July! It would be great if it could appear on July 4th, because that was when I was supposed to be born. Instead, I was born on July 1st, because the night before, my mom hit a dog on the road. She freaked out so bad that she went into labor. So, people, a dog gave its life so I could be born on July 1st. Maybe that's why dogs gyrate towards me. I went to visit my friend, who owns one of those annoying rat dogs. It raced into the room, jumped on my knee, and started barking at everybody, even at its owner. I used to visit another lady, who's now dead, and her dog always hopped in my lap and went to sleep. It snapped at everybody else. Someone had a whole theater inside his basement, so me and a bunch of other people went there to see "The Watcher In The Woods." I'd never seen it before. The guy owned a big, beautiful Golden Retriever. Everybody ra...
