Earlier today I was updating this website and I realized I never did an official announcement of the release of Spark of Fire! Puzzled, I looked back at my calendar and realized I was recovering from my second major surgery about that time, so I'm going to blame the after-effects of anesthesia. After all, I … Continue reading Episode Four: Spark of Fire

I've had to get vicious about carving out a little writing time for myself, … Continue reading Progress Report…

Hello everyone! As I'm sure you've noticed, I'm making some changes to this page and like all things techy, progress comes slow for this old horse trainer.
