How do you know the one you love won’t hurt you?

What makes us who we are?
When Seth Egan starts working as a private detective, he knows he’ll make enemies.
It goes with the territory.
As Seth works on a murder case and hunts down the killers, he becomes the target.
Some people have no conscience, shame, empathy, or remorse.

Even murder.
In the end, they will drag you down to hell with them.
Sometimes, our enemies are those closest to us.

The Breaker is an on-going series.

I’m outlining other stand-alone thriller novels.

Several coffee table books on my photography and my wife’s artwork.

A humorous book, based on the antics of our crazy pet Ragdoll cat, entitled: It’s That F****** Cat Again!

Here’s a GIF I made of our cat, settling down for another of his daily naps:

Movies ...

Finally, after decades of watching movies, I got around to writing a book about them.

Along with reviewing my personal favorites, I’m writing about watching specific movies with folks who saw them for the first time, as I noted their reactions.

The movie I chose for date night when I first met my wife.

Experiences of being at the theatre.

Some movies I went to see … then regretted the price I paid for the tickets.

The crowd in the theatre, including …

LOUD face suckers and seat creaking gropers that couldn’t afford to get a room.

Back-of-the-seat kickers.

Drunks.

Sleepers that snored … LOUDLY!

LOUD snack crunchers and soda slurpers and spillers.

LOUD belchers.

LOUD and silent farters … oh, God!

Frequent bathroom visitors who disturbed everyone as they stood up and made everyone move … then made them move again when they returned … always when the good parts of the movie were playing.

Grandstanding hecklers who chose the theatre for their LOUD impromptu comedy debut.

Video rental stores and meet-ups with friends that turned into movie-athons.

On this blog, I’m posting my favorite movies on the calendar date of their original theatre release.
