I’m not sure why but I’ve always considered St. Patrick’s Day to be magical. Okay, to be honest, I’ve always thought everything Irish holds magic. That’s one reason my first book, FAERIE FATE was set there. It’s the reason so … Continue reading →

Earlier this week, I discussed character flaws. Apparently, the Universe follows this blog because this popped up in my inbox. Perfect people are boring. Uninteresting. They have no place to go but down, and while delivering a come-uppance to those … Continue reading →

As predicted, the Super Bowl was boring. I did care who won but it would have been nice to have some real football shoved in there between the commercials. I didn’t actually time the difference but I’m pretty sure that … Continue reading →

Thursday Thoughts: Universal Happy Dance

Posted on February 5, 2026 by Silver James

For some reason, I woke up with the song “I Feel Like Dancin’” in my head. Weird, right? It’s Thursday and I should be headed out to Wallyworld. Somehow, I don’t see me dancing down the aisles. Then again, I’m … Continue reading →
