Welcome to Thoughts, Stories & Novels where I post thoughts on various writing topics, short stories from my collections, and updates on current and future novels.
I’m fortunate to sit at my desk and look out the windows to the mountain scene pictured above. It’s a wonder I get anything written with such a magnificent distraction. It’s also the reason several of my stories and novellas are set in the Blue Ridge Mountains. My most recent book, At the River’s Edge, is a murder mystery with the foothills of North Carolina as its backdrop. Click on the cover below to learn more.
Thanks for visiting. I’ll update this site regularly and welcome your comments and suggestions. Learn more about my writing by clicking HERE. I hope you come back often.

Good luck on the new site! I have read a lot of your books and posts and have enjoyed them. It is nice to know that I knew you “way back when” as we were growing up.

Great site, D.R. I just had my site redone and have mixed feelings about it. I re-did it primarily to change the hosting site. Good luck with it!

It was tough to move from my old site. Been there since 2012. I tried to move my posts, but it was a mess so I started over. Still have them on file, so I can pull one out every so often. Thanks for stopping by. Good luck with your blog and writing.

Just stopping by from Goodreads. Your website has a clean, uncluttered look. A trend that appears to be favoured these days. Colour scheme is pleasant, and you are presenting your titles via a dominant position on the page. So the net effect is all good. The only things you could/should consider adding to your site (in the future) are a few marketing widgets.
To be honest I am not a significant consumer of fiction books, but for yours I might make an exception. My background includes many years spent in the Oil & Gas industry: mostly the Middle East. I also have an I.T./Systems background. So your titles “Melting Sand” and “Cyber One” readily caught my eye.
Wishing you the best results going forwards.

I love your site. It’s easy on the eye and the brain. I’m not impressed by some new blogs that slip from the top, then the bottom, and finally flash, “Join my Mailing List”, so yours is a real treat. I shall return to see what you’re up to.

Thanks for your comments and for stopping by. I debated about moving from Google Blogger to WordPress, but it’s been worth it.

Excellent site. Glad I stopped by. Your view reminds me a bit of Western Oregon. Nothing like an excellent view to start your day.
