In fact, Pat did a blockbuster one just the other day: Kalin has his … Continue reading The Krohe Albums, Book 6
Before establishing wentyworld.com, I had a plain old WordPress blog for fourteen years. It’s still there. Kind of like a mall that closes down but still has the carousel, escalators and other components sitting and gathering dust. I wrote a lot of silly things for that blog, and this is one of them. This article … Continue reading How I’d Fix Weddings (WP Blog 5/19/15)

His friend Wentworth was a bit of an odd … Continue reading Krohe, Wenty and The Butler Bear: A Short (But Sweet) Story
Yes, this is another blog post shamelessly promoting my internet radio creations with Dangerous Dave Kuskie.
