Interesting book terms have been on my mind. I came across a few and discovered what I considered the meaning of a term was not universally accepted.

This is my view, I work as a part of...

MEMORIAL DAY IN THE US TOMORROW.
A lot of friends, relatives, and the writers I have worked with have served in the military. I know it is Memorial Day in the US tomorrow. Not everyone in the service gets to go into a war zone area or receives the recognition they deserve. The important thing is all service play their part in the organization. Each and every man and woman that serves from the front-line fighting officers to medics, engineering personnel, or logistics to catering teams add to the success of the whole. Everyone in the service does a vital role. I consider myself lucky to...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Happy Thanksgiving! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! It is not celebrated this side of the Atlantic, but I often feel it should be.

We love them for sure, but we don’t make a special time to think...
