I categorized this book review under parenting for a reason. It belongs there. A large part of this book focuses on football in America in an academic setting – college and high school. It's valuable information that parent's should keep in their back pocket if they have kids interested in playing sports, especially football. On... Continue Reading →
Goodreads Reviews, an Update, and Some Thoughts on Writing
I’ve had several people ask how I could possibly write a humorous story about a woman finding out she has breast cancer. Then they realize I’m a guy and they wonder how I could possibly write about women, let alone breast cancer. Good questions. I tell them it starts and ends with the character. That’s...

In the fall of 2014, five deep-cover, serial-thriller agents met at a black site located somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. Their mission was top secret.

A Cold and Rainy Night (or: Pencil Noir)
It was one of those nights in Chi-town. You know the kind. The rain taps against the front window of your favorite gin joint while a live singer belts out the blues just a little too loud for the small space, and just a little too blue for the bleary-eyed patrons. The kind of night... Continue Reading →

IN WHICH WE TRY TO FIX BASEBALL. …AND DONE.
We here at MojoFiction recently thought that maybe we should stop referring to ourselves in the plural. But don’t count on it. We have lots of thoughts, most often after a beer or two. Guess how often those come to fruition? Anyway, let’s talk baseball. Ah, baseball. America’s summer sport. We have loved baseball ever... Continue Reading →
