It’s Here
I first tossed around the idea of explaining what Halloween is and how it came to be. However, that has been done to death. I know it started it as most holidays do as a pagan holiday filled with scary images all of which have some sort of mischievous underlying meaning. But I will not […]

Make Your Words Count!
Content on social media is fleeting and the spaces to create an engaging message are getting smaller. How can you make your message stick in a world of short content spaces? They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Twitter allows for 280 characters. Harness the power of visuals to create a longer message […]

Injustice
The new DC animated film “Injustice” is sure to stir up some controversy for fans of Superman who know nothing about the comic book series or video games the movie is based on.

On Being Famous

Lord knows I never would have thought my book “Hiking the Trails of Erwin” would become a number one bestseller on the Bristol Herald booklist. The follow-up, “Campings spots of Elizabethton” did just […]

The Incredible Shrinking Man
By the mid-1950s most of Universal’s classic monsters had been retired. The Mummy was trotted out for a team-up with Abbott and Costello in 1955, and the Creature From The Black Lagoon was soon to debut as the last of the studio’s famed monsters. Horror thrillers were starting to slant more towards sci-fi, the “atomic […]

A few weeks away
As we get closer to Halloween I thought it might be a good idea to write about people, places and things that possibly pertain to the day or for most people like me the entire month. Ever since childhood I have been drawn to artists with a little darker nature. Not demonic satanic nature, just […]

Social Media Perfection
Perfection in social media marketing should be standard. Striving for perfection presents an image of composure, knowledge, and education. Striving to make sure your social media presence is perfect improves your chances of being taken seriously.
