Betrayed by My Best Friend: A Lesson in Workplace Betrayal
I arrived at the office that day, expecting a normal workday, but was met with an atmosphere that felt off. Everyone seemed to be in on a secret, but nobody was willing to spill the beans. Emily, the usually stoic cleaning woman, was practically beaming with a cheeky grin on her face. Even Mr. Brooke, our manager, seemed to be holding back a smirk. It was like being in the middle of a joke that I wasn't privy to.

Price Adjustments
Perspective As an author, I should have seen this coming. I have been working my butt off for almost six months promoting my first novel and I continue to wonder why sales aren't generating. Thankfully, I have the ability to learn from my mistakes. The Draconus Wars I put up for $24.99, Paperback, thinking it was in Canadian Pricing. Ah, what a surprise, my Ingram Spark measures primarily in USD, not CAD. So, I priced my book almost 10$ Canadian higher than I had expected to sell it for. So thankfully The Draconus Wars, is now going through a pricing adjustment. I wish I knew of this before I published it at first, as it probably would have generated more sales. I also would have looked into more promotions for the book.

Agnostic
why do i write I do not ask this question to myself now, because if I had to ask, I should have asked at least thirty years ago. And it is even less likely that someone else will suddenly ask me this question. Yet, somewhere deep within the mind, every writer must have an answer; And every now and then it is good to check whether that answer is still satisfactory.

Life as a Zombie
I used to tell my son that I though Vampires were better than Zombies. He was obsessed about the show "The Walking Dead" and at the time I was mostly just watching "Game of Thrones" and "The Big Bang Theory" so I wasn't sure if I could get into a show about life with Zombies. I said, "Vampires are better looking monsters." I suppose that was my way of being "snobby" or my pride and vanity talking. If I had to be a monster, I thought being a beautiful monster would be better.
