Kyle’s Journal

I started this blog on August 21, 2012, with the release of my first book, Titan Encounter. Since that time, I’ve updated the website several times and I’m gradually updating the blog format and bringing it into this new journal. Back then, the sole purpose of the blog was to promote my books, but it gradually expanded to new topics. Sometimes I’ve mused about other things that are important to me, such as my family, my farm, rural life, and occasionally about politics and the country. However, I do try to limit politics.

The Buzz of the Bees

I live in the Pacific Northwest, and right now the seasons are changing. Winter is a time of short days, long nights, and steady cold rain. But in the spring, the rains ease off and the days begin to warm. This is the time of year when I can sit outside, watch the chickens wander like they own the place, and take in the deer, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, and flocks of birds that share the property with me. This year, I decided to add one more group to the mix—I introduced a hive of bees.

I Like Technology

I like modern technology. It’s what allows me to sit at home, in slippers, and earn a living.

I think everyone who follows my blog or social media knows that I’m an author. That means I sit here and write most of the day, occasionally pausing to stare into space and call it “thinking.” Recently, however, a rainstorm brought flooding and knocked out power to much of the local area. You might assume this meant an unexpected vacation until the electricity was restored.

I certainly did.

That thought lasted less than five minutes.
