- - World of Writing - - Author Interview - Today we are joined by prolific author Ken Farmer who tells us: " I was born in Texas, 1941, and attended 21 grade schools growing up; my father worked in the oil field. I attained degrees in drama, became a professional film and TV actor at age 32, and then retired at 65. Got bored, needed a creative outlet...found out I could write at 69. That was 39 novels ago. Now, I'm age 79, and here doing this interview with you ."  One look at his Amazon Author page and you'll see why I'm so darn impressed with Ken's work. When I asked Ken to share more about himself on a personal level he had this to say:  This is the toughest question. Don’t much like talking about myself. My daddy always told me to let my actions speak for me. I suppose my acting students (I taught acting for 17 years) would say I could be intimidating, but knowledgeable, fair and very demanding.  I made sure they were better when they left class than whe...

Too often the media is full of negative information. Studies show that by being fed negative information people tend to get into a state of apathy and become depressed with a sense of powerlessness in the face of the problems of the world.  Sadly, this frame of mind has us ignoring how much impact very small actions can have. Let us look at some positive information. Let’s examine just 2 areas that can conserve water and save you money: - Every time you wash dishes by hand, you can save 5 gallons of water: Start with just a couple of inches of very hot, soapy water and begin washing the least soiled items first, keeping the water as clean as possible for the upcoming items. By turning the hot water tap on to rinse the dishes over the soapy sink, the level will slowly increase and will maintain a hot temperature. This means you won’t need another sink full of water solely for rinsing.  - We use excess rinse water to pre-soak stuck on dishes as well. If the soapy sink becomes to...

Book Review Twelve Hours On The Block   by Jerry Harwood Twelve Hours On The Block was released in 2020 by author Jerry Harwood and his publisher ( ThreeRavensPublishing.com ). The dark, brooding cover (designed by Tracy Lundgren) looked at first to be an alley at night in a less-than-desirable area of a large city. However, upon reading the first few pages I realized that it was, in fact, a view inside of a penitentiary.   In this sci-fi fantasy, graphic, pulp fiction style novel newly incarcerated Eli, meets fellow inmate Tay when reality fades away and they face a crazy wild adventure, keeping their sanity with light hearted banter and references to mutually appreciated TV shows and movies.

From there, the night just gets weirder. Musical chanting spells, inmates uprising and hall...
