Reid About It

Sign up for my free mailing list! It’s available here and absolutely free. Did I say free? Yes, that too. Here’s my promise, I will not spam you. I will not send more than one email a week to you. In fact, I’m usually so far behind, I’ll be lucky to get one out a […]

I spent last night watching an HGTV Show where this couple buys houses in California for hundreds of thousands of dollars and flips them for a profit. Makes me wish they had one of those shows in Kentucky where I live. “We bought the house at auction for fourteen thousand, and we redid the kitchen, […]

Some big news on the publishing front. My novel, “The Great Texas Trailer Park Escape,” is once again for sale. The fine folks at Crossroad Press have picked it up, so it’s available at Amazon.com and also their website. If you’ve already picked up the book and left me a review, thank you very much. […]

Getting a rejection notice from an agent you had forgotten you sent a query to is like stepping on a mine from the Korean War.

Writing gigs this week…12,000 words on high school football…finished. Final score, 1300 Coaching Cliches, 143 players with upside who are great athletes and real leaders, 63 bottles of water, 29 episodes of Gossip Girl watched in the background, and 1 bout with stomach flu. Just to make things more interesting, I also threw in a […]

Just out of curiosity, I took this quiz on a website to show how many states in the USA I’ve visited.  Not bad, although ten years ago, it would have been much more sparse. Looking at this, it makes me look forward to the travel book, “I Hate It Here.” Lots of good stories coming in that […]

Why am I excited about giving my book away for free? It’s all part of the plan, my friends, so grab it and enjoy.

Since I don’t really know anyone in Cincinnati, I joined a county-wide Facebook group. After one week of listening to them, I’ve decided that instead of cheering for the Reds or Bengals, I’m just going to root for meth lab explosions.

Watched “Sixteen Candles” the other night, only to find it’s a bit more date-rapey than I remember.

She’s famous. Everyone knows her. She’s on your television every night, smiling and reading you the daily news. It’s a burden being famous. That’s why she’s comes here to this cafe and sits outside afternoons. She’ll smile and be feaux-bashful about being recognized, but that’s her job. She hates the publicity, though. So why isn’t […]
