I just got a last-minute entry into our contest from my old buddy and fellow blogger Steven Eastwood. He recruited his three kids (from right, Gabriel, Olivia and Madelein) to help him win an autographed copy of Infinity’s Reach. Congrats, Eastwoods (who also say they are from Baltimore, where the story starts)! Tomorrow is the last … More I Can Gelp You Escape (that’s what it said!)
Don’t get me wrong. I’m proud of Infinity’s Reach, excited about the launch this weekend, and feel it is one of the best books I’ve ever written. And I want lots and lots of people to buy, read and enjoy my book. But why buy it when you can get it free? We have less … More Don’t Buy My Book!
Actually, it’s not yellow, although it is BIG. Today’s the annual communication field trip, and for the first time we will be taking the bus to Austin, three hours south of us. This will be a short blog, because we need to leave at 6:30 a.m. and be back at 9. But I will get … More The Big Yellow School Bus

I am excited, fearful and worried. Well, no, not really worried. Infinity’s Reach is my 12th book, so if it does good, great. If it flops, well, I have been there too. But it is exciting to have it show up on Amazon. I know the official launch is April 1, but I couldn’t help … More The Good Things in Life are FREE

OK, if you haven’t noticed the family resemblance, today’s winner is my grandson. (What? Don’t you recognize those kneecaps? Gavin Robinson is holding up the obligatory “I CAN HELP YOU ESCAPE” sign outside the state capitol in Austin, Texas. Since he doesn’t have much competition at this point, he’s today’s winner. No nepotism there, of … More Another winner…hey, who is that?
THE COLOR OF WARM People assume when you are a professional that you have things figured out. I know that’s the way I think. I look at men in their fancy BMWs, women in their business attire and think, they have it all together. And generally, that’s how our society has been able to function. … More “The Color of Warm”

You can manage people, can’t you?” Yeah, right. I also learned that in addition to “managing people,” I was responsible for the annual fund raiser … More The Tortoise and the Hare
