I am a 74 year old retired physician that recently discovered that he likes to write. It appears that I have a flair for it, as many of my friends and colleagues have urged me toward publishing.

Bless Me Father is my first ever novel although I have had several short stories in circulation for a few years. Last year I was named one of the 25 most promising Independent Authors by Independent Authors Magazine.

I am feeling my way through the process of this new self-publishing world and hoping to meet and make new friends. Although I am affable and social I don't have many true friends, so this could open doors into a whole life endeavor for me.

Who says you can't teach an old dog a new trick?

Old friends, new memories

This weekend several friends and family members along with me traveled to St. Louis, Missouri to take in the Cubs/Cardinals ballgame on Saturday night. It was hot and steamy and we saw an excellent game with an excellent outcome. (The Cubbies won!) On Sunday, I was in the city I took the opportunity to visit old friends that I had not seen in many years.

It was a little scary, and a little exhilara Read more of this blog post »

“She cocked an eyebrow at me and said, “No. After the week I’ve just spent with you, there are going to be plenty of people that are gonna want to shoot you. You better get used to that.” Which hurt my feelings a little.”
Michael Deeze, The Deathbed Confessions

“My best advice to myself was to act like I’d been there before. I was in way over my head, and I was not skating down the line between good and bad anymore. I tried to justify my actions by reminding myself that it was part of my investigation but even I couldn’t fool myself that much.
I drained my glass and then drained the one that Sara handed me. In no way, was this evening turning out to have career building opportunity written on it. I was getting more nervous by the minute.”
Michael Deeze

“It’s inevitable. But we pretend it isn’t until that point where we can’t deny it anymore. Then we begin to repent.”
“Repent for our sins.” I nodded.
“No! We repent for the opportunities that we missed. The doors we should have walked through.”
Michael Deeze, The Deathbed Confessions

“My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.”
Mark Twain

I am hoping that in creating this group I can help writers find someone to proof read their book. All books will be accepted.
