The weather in Chicagoland wasn’t up to snuff this Memorial Day weekend. After all, it’s all about the barbecue. But rain has a tougher time keeping you inside on Memorial Day weekend than just about any other weekend. Case in point, on Sunday a friend of mine, who thoughtfully lives over an hour away, had planned... Continue Reading →
A few days ago the staff here at MojoFiction came across a news article on the world wide web that detailed the 10 reasons "He hasn't proposed to you yet" ...or something like that. We were shocked to discover that these 10 reasons had absolutely no basis in reality whatsoever, as noted by reason number 2:... Continue Reading →
So MojoFiction knows some people who know some people who have a book club. It’s an all-female book club and we happen to know one of the members and, in fact, sometimes get her husband in trouble when we do things like change their home computer's default web-browser page to … things we shouldn’t, and then...

Today’s column offers 3:1 odds that you’ll enjoy it. That’s better than the Bulls-Heat game tonight! On to today’s files! On Humor Writing There isn’t much I like more than writing humorous material. Maybe free-donut Friday at the office, though they’ve started bringing in a lot more bagels, which brings down the experience. Anyway, there... Continue Reading →
What is it about Opening Day for Major League Baseball that's so exciting? I'm a Cubs fan so it's clearly not "The Prospect of Winning." No, the best I can hope for this season is a better record than the White Sox, which doesn't look promising. Maybe it's the start of spring and impending days of summer; maybe it's the thought...

Two for one! Today MojoFiction meditates on the unexpected thought processes of this nation’s youth. And by youth we mean kids under the age of eight. And by kids under eight we mean our own kid (who's actually eight now but never mind). After eight the cuteness scale really drops off. We also mini-review "The Croods"... Continue Reading →
A while back, we here at MojoFiction promised some good old-fashioned shameless self-promotion. We don't want to disappoint. Now that our debut novel is finally available everywhere it's going to get for the moment, we thought we'd take some time to offer up two brief excerpts. You may recall that the story is about a...

Here's a fun little craft-y kinda thing from some of the staff at MojoFiction (okay, it was our administrative assistant [1]). Are you the kind of person with a couple of cute little offspring that the grandparents are constantly nagging you to bring around for a visit more often? Sure, you'd like to, but something always seems... Continue Reading →
Home is where you hang your hat. Home is where the heart is. Home, home on the range (or something like that). If you’ve perused any of MojoFiction’s blog or website pages, you might have realized that we love nature, specifically the great state of Colorado. We were born there and carry with us fond...

I have an older brother that serves in the United States Army. Naturally, I’m very proud of that fact. However, even more proud of that fact is, apparently, my very own son, who can’t get enough of his uncle and his uncle’s whole family. Last summer we flew to Texas to visit them at their...
