Stars in My Crown: Life & Parental Drama
April 11th, 201211:59 PM ETOne of my most embarrassing life moments ever was when my four sons were small, and we were crossing at the busiest intersection on Main Street. Son number three was safe and secure in my backpack carrier, little son number four was asleep in my arms, son number two held tightly to my hand, and number one son had a firm hold on my skirt. All went w... -
The Books, They Are a’Changin’
December 29th, 201112:13 AM ETDon Bemis lives in Michigan, works in engineering, and plays in writing. He has published three novels by OakTara and recently self-published a fourth. As a writer, a recent article caught my eye. The December 15 Wall Street Journal carried a front-page story entitled, "E-Book Readers Face Sticker Shock," which discussed the fact that some e-... -
How Pathetic Are You? Heroes & Heroines…Not.
October 03rd, 201112:29 AM ETI never, ever, ever write about myself in my novels. Even when I am the main character in a Military Aviation Adventure http://www.wingsoverkansas.com/, I don't write about myself. I'm not living vicariously through my own writing. I don't try to make myself the hero of my fiction. I'd fail miserably. This is one very important thing that many a... -

A Native American Beauty, Sex, and the Church
August 31st, 201101:12 AM ETI was told long ago that if you wanted an honest opinion about something, trust that of strangers, not of family or friends (I call them "chummies"). Strangers will give you an honest assessment, while chummies will tell you only what they think you want to hear—or in some cases, say nothing at all. If you are a writer, artist, musician, cook, o... -
By All Means
July 06th, 201112:28 AM ETG.K. Chesterton, in his classic, Orthodoxy, speaks of the truth of fairy tales. Does he mean truth in the scientific sense? I think not. He is talking about moral truths which the old fables and fairy tales convey. Science is a valuable servant, making our lives easier, giving us explanations for old mysteries. But not all of them. Imagination a... -

March 27th, 201105:47 PM ETHarry Stubbins removed a beaker from the heat and set it onto a rack to cool. The ceramic container almost certainly would have withstood immediate transfer to a cooling water bath, but Harry wasn't taking any chances. This substance was more important than anybody else knew. His bosses (he refused to think of them as superiors) thought he was work... -
Elmer the Tree
February 09th, 201111:13 PM ETElmer was a smart little tree. So smart, in fact, that he planned his life while still a seedling just tamped into the soil at Shady Acres Tree Farm. He and several thousand others were set into neat rows. It was a lot more spacious than the greenhouse where he had sprouted, and he liked it. "This is GREAT! 'Lotta sun, room to grow, and even—wh... -
