Israel Boycott Hypocritical, Supports Terrorism, Oppression

The news that astrophysicist Stephen Hawking is supporting the boycott against Israel shows that he — like a lot of other academics and political elites — is very intelligent but lacking in common sense and a solid grasp of reality. The leaders of both Palestine entities support terrorism, suppress freedom of speech and religion, deny […]

Memories And Time – The Beginning Of A New Approach

All we are is memories and time. Think about that for a moment while I explain a different approach I am taking with some of my writing. I’ve tried for decades to deal with deep issues … serious things … in the context of my main fiction genre, thrillers. I put the thoughts — and […]

What The Argo Movie Got Wrong About Shredded Documents

I hate to say that I taught a bunch of Iranian thugs how to reconstitute the shredded documents they found after looting the American Embassy in Tehran. But I did. It wasn’t a bunch of little carpet weavers as one story goes, or child labor as Argo played it. Nope. Turns out to be my […]

Fake MacBook Power Supply Self-Destructs

My computer is my writing tool. So, when Microsoft finally scored an own-goal with Windows 8, I solved my  problem late last year by buying a MacBook. This after nothing but DOS, then Windows machines since 1984. I take the MacBook everywhere, so I needed a second power brick to travel. The charger at the […]

Cover-Up: Why The FAA Is Wrong When It Says Airplanes Are Not Hackable

The Federal Aviation Administration is wrong and either misinformed or involved in a cover-up when it says hackers can’t take over a modern aircraft: Authorities dismiss alleged airplane hijack hack. If you click on that link, please read the comments. They are far more intelligent, thoughtful and  illuminating than the FAA’s. Truth is that neither […]

Hijacking Airplanes With A Phone: So 3 Years Ago!

Hijacking airplanes with an Android phone is SO three years ago! Why? Because this thriller, Die By Wire details an even more effective way to do this. I wrote it more than three years ago. I was published in December 2011. The following two links will offer more insight into the hack that goes far […]

Sikhs Continue To Lead The Way In Religious Tolerance

“SIKHS built four doors to the Golden Temple at Amritsar, in north India, to welcome believers from all four corners of their earth. But in the five centuries since, few religions have followed that tolerant example. Hindus and Muslims fight fiercely over religious ruins in ancient Ayodhya. Christians have long wrangled among themselves, and with […]

Thank You Readers! All Over The World. Thank You!

I was wandering around my office the other day looking for a copy of one of my older thrillers. And ran across a section that contains some of the foreign editions. I think I’ve been translated into 23 languages and don’t know how many countries that spans. I stopped. And realized that in the press […]

It’s The Sheep That Are Polarizing US Politics!

I originally wrote this piece for Dvorak Uncensored, the blog for my good friend, John Dvorak. Not the useful four-legged species that give us sweaters and butterflied leg of lamb with mint jelly. Nope, we’re talking the far less helpful, two-legged kind, you know: Democrats and Republicans. A USA Today Poll out today identified the […]

Bestsellers: The Easy, Sleazy Way

When all the bets are down on a particular book and a bestseller is what’s gotta happen, publishers — and now authors — have ways of buying their way onto the bestseller lists. I’m not talking just about the megabucks for megabooks promotions that anointed authors can count on. SLEAZE ROCKET LAUNCH IN 3 … […]
