I saw it on the Web, so it must be True

Posted on 03/15/2016 by The Winger BookstoreMarch 15, 2016

I won’t grow up!

Posted on 01/19/2016 by The Winger BookstoreJanuary 19, 2016

Write about what you know?

Posted on 12/17/2015 by The Winger BookstoreDecember 17, 2015

When I sat down to write my first novel, Faces, I kept a tight grip on the advice to “write about what you know.” The main character was a software developer, enjoyed rock climbing, lived in Denver, and had acquired prosopagnosia … Continue reading →

In the Back of Beyond (along the PCT)

Posted on 09/17/2015 by The Winger BookstoreSeptember 17, 2015

We just returned from a 6-day, 5-night excursion along a 60-mile portion of the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail). One of our biggest debates was deciding which campsite was the prettiest. I think it was a 5-way tie. Peeler Lake, Tilden … Continue reading →
