September 11, A Day of Infamy
On September 11, 2001, the most horrible act of Islamic Terrorism was perpetrated against our country.

Is the Pope Catholic?

New Theme…….Long-form Writing Coming Soon
I decided to try out the new Independent Publisher theme. How do you like it? I thought it would better display my "in the works" long-form writing. It's a piece of writing I did a long time ago, but it was well-received, and I'm having fun adding features that I couldn't include in the original, …
