Right before joining the Army in 1999, I taught 8th grade American Studies at what was considered a middle school in a low-income, disadvantaged neighborhood. At the end of each school year, the grades would have awards ceremonies where the teachers would give out certificates to the students with the top grades in each subject. [...]
I’m so proud of this latest site that I’ve launched. The Independent Author Index. I started it with 12 independent authors on 18 March 2012, and I’ve already increased that number to 43 authors!

I chose the picture of the question mark at a crossroads, because of the subject matter of this post. I’ve struggled with the question of whether I’m procrastinating or if there’s “something” innate prompting me to be patient. This issue has occupied my thoughts so much that I started paying closer attention to what goes [...]
You’ve either witnessed this scenario (or something similar to it) or created it (or something similar to it): Them: Oh, my goodness! You did such a great job on this. It was way more than I expected. Please take this (insert monetary value here) for all the extra work you did. You: Oh, no, I [...]
I looked up the word cupid last year on dictionary.com. Towards the end of the page, I saw this: I’d never heard the word, cupidity, so I was curious to see it’s meaning. This is what I found: I also learned that synonyms to cupidity are covetousness, avidity, hunger, acquisitiveness. Further down the page on [...]
I originally created my first publishing company, Sola Mente Publishing, to publish my own books, and then I had the bright idea that I’d help others get published. So I started SolaPress!
