How did your career help you write your book?
I was a high school guidance counselor for twenty seven years, and a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for ten years. Over the years I learned things about families and young people.
Check out his professional author blog…
In my capacity as a high school counselor students would often come to my office with problems looking for advice. The problems would be new to the students; however, for me I had seen the problem over and over again with other students. From these encounters I learned steps that would bring success, and steps that would lead to failure for the student. For example one day a young lady came to my office in tears over her boy friend. She was upset by the way he was treating her. I was acquainted with her boyfriend, …

Why the US Wants Regime Change in Syria
(This is the second of two blogs about the covert US war against Syria. The case Obama is making for sanctions and "humanitarian" intervention in Syria is a total fabrication. The US goal in Syria is regime change. The people Assad is attacking aren't unarmed protestors. They are Islamic militants that the US and NATO have been funding and training for at least ten months.) The People

Me and my Mirror! II
I can not believe that I get no respect from my bathroom mirror! Why, just  the other day, I found out that it had petitioned my Pet Rock to have me banned from the bathroom between the hours of seven o'clock PM to six o'clock PM! The rest of the time, barring sickness or vacation, I would be out looking for food some where. Now, I do want you to know, that my mirror is not the only thing in

MY OVERWEIGHT?
1 - no exercise regime is contimoed longer term without the participant actually enjoying that form of exercise. This is simply an individual thing. I enjoy cricket skills training in nets. There is a personal training business I saw drive past on the Sutherland Shire that seems to specialise in this form of exercise. Interestingly, a few of my past doctors have agreed the appropriateness for larg

So, How Do YOU Spell "Clean" ?
Many would answer that question with the reply, "if you can't smell it, it isn't really clean."  That has become the insidious banner of cleaning product ads and commercials for what feels like decades now.  But is that really true?  I looked up the definition of the word "clean" in one dictionary and it defined the meaning as this: free from dirt; free of foreign or extraneous matter; free fro

Me and my Mirror!
Now, for those of you who have just read the title of this blog, the first thing that will come to mind is that this is a love story. Well I am sorry to say that if you thought that, you are mistaken! There is absolutely no way that I could love something that doctors my image every morning so that I look like, hold on a moment, my mirror just told me that I should have you try and guess what it d

Of Moongates and the Chinese garden
“After breakfast Ty suggested a walk around the grounds, and Kathryn quickly discovered that the gardens surrounding the house were full of delightful surprises. She was positively charmed by a secluded little spot in the middle of the larger whole, to which the only entrance was a lotus shaped opening in the eight foot white stone wall that surrounded it.”* Gardens have long been a staple of

Spirit/Soul - Rights/Responsibilities
We recently came to see several seemingly disassociated points, which on reading back revealed a certain connectedness. We offer them here for your prayerful consideration.  Our first thoughts centred on the question: “What has this got to do with marriage?” But, as we have written in the book “Where are all the Men?” these few notes are about the underlying question in the title: wher

Um...How do I deliver this?
Um … How do I deliver this? Being a children’s author, I often speak to large groups of children. Sitting on author panels and participating in writing events etc. I speak to other writers, prospective writers and authors. However, there are certain events where the audience is a combination of both, adults and children. Depending on the age of the children, this can be quite chal

AN EXAMPLE OF MY "WEIRDO" MIND AT TIMES?
Humour? Yes, well? Here is an example of my mind awaking in the morning, some days anyway? Before coffee? During morning ablution (yes, we've all been here done that too!), my initial "self attack"? Now, with books, beginning with morning greeting of short ass imbecile and asking why the jerk is late today as I have made it to the loo without his crap? HUH? Then, heckle about Maccas drive-in coffe

PENNY ON HOLIDAYS FEB 2012
Long service leave to be exact. Only a few days at a time. Travel trained now to Wollongong we can meet half way. She is leaving some clothes here so that she can travel lighter in the future. Actually, I realised that with family carers of the past living in suburban Sydney that she has never actually holidayed outside of Sydney. Now she can come and go from a popular vacation destination wheneve

The Solution to being Harrassed, Harranged, even to the poin
Like any word or maths puzzle there is a solution. Engineers take puzzles and design practical and useable solutions. Thus, my solution to this most incideous of puzzles? Write books and publish thus! This beginning at whatever level! Put their directed negativities on your CV! Bend with their blow hard breezes! Remember, never swim against a rip! Swim across...at an angle! Come out sideways, be e

Reflection for the 6th Sunday of ordinary time Year B
To be a leaper in the Old Testament meant that, you were abandoned and ostracized from the community - Lev. 13: 1-2, 44-46. To be an outcast was not to belong to any other human. You were transformed into a state of desolation. No one would have touched a leaper. Jesus radically changes this concept in the Gospel – Mk. 1: 40-45. After the leaper, considered unclean, acknowledges his state

GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE
‘A ship in a harbour is safe – but that’s not what ships are built for.’   Author unknown. How often do we long for the comfort and security of a safe harbour? Let’s face it…. we love our comfort zones. While we live on this earth, however, the Lord expects us to launch out on the ocean of Life courageously, with Him at the helm. What adventures are ahead only He know
