"America" is NOT at war with Iran
Let’s be clear, the whole “America at war with Iran” rhetoric is a misdirect. America is not at war with Iran, Donald Trump and his groupie, Benji Netanyahu, are at war with Iran. The media, ALL of them in fact, typically headline their news with this; America is bombing Iran, or America has issued an ultimatum to…, or America this or America that… This is how the media works, it generalizes the…
Sweden - a lot more than Vikings and meatballs!
This article is not about the U.S.A. per se, but it is pertinent at the beginning to say why we left America for Sweden. I grew up in Canada, then I moved to the U.S. to jump-start a career where I lived for over three decades. When I first got to the States, I loved it - and in many ways, I still do. At that time, there was a dynamic about the U.S. that was absolutely tangible - a vibe that was…
Was it really suicide or...?
Hollywood’s iconic blonde, Marilyn Monroe, one of the most successful and progressive women of her time, suddenly dies in 1962 at the age of 36.

Authors...do you suffer from A.A.S.?
If you are an author, having published one or more books, especially if you are an independent publisher, you probably suffer from A.A.S. or Author-Anxiety-Syndrome . It’s not an official title - and certainly the mental health field hasn’t dreamed it up yet as a way of prescribing drugs, but I think that many authors, like myself, wake up in the morning, wondering if our book(s) have sold and…
