Got These Bones...

Indiana Galvin strikes again, people!

Some of you may recall my not-so-archaeological discovery last September when I investigated our dryer vent to learn what was blocking it up.

Well, friends, it's starting to look like I'm like a magnet for these kinds of crazy awesome finds.

Crazy 'Game of Thrones' Predictions

7/26/2017

0 Comments

 
Game of Thrones is back! We're two episodes into the seventh season and, with only a dozen episodes or less remaining, why not make a few crazy, off-the-wall predictions that will inevitably look rather foolish in hindsight.

Here's your spoiler warning if you haven't watched the series through this past Sunday's episode, "Stormborn."

​Let's dig in!

Boom.
After three years of working, I finally get to cross off another goal on the publishing bucket list -- The Amazon Orange Sticker status.
Better than that? My daughter's reaction.

Gifts From Readers & The L.A. Times Festival

5/8/2017

2 Comments

 
Whenever aspiring writers ask me for advice, I tell them they should 'listen to the voices' in their head.
Lenny, Rebecca, Trixie, Bishop, Ferd, Chidi -- they're all voices that eventually made their way onto the page and there's a hundred (thousand?) more behind them, waiting for the same chance. Strange as this might sound, I'll often find myself fighting with those characters/voices as well.
Whenever I tell people such things, half think I'm crazy, the other half gets it because they too have voices in their heads waiting, fighting, etc. for their stories to be heard.
But what's not often spoken of is that one voice more than any other plagues me, just as I'm sure it stalks many other people as well.
That voice's name is Doubt.

Self-Publishing & Busted Water Lines

4/19/2017

Well, I finally did it...made my first ever Instagram post.
Yes, I am officially an old man.
'So why the picture of a sprinkler head and an exposed water line?' I hear you asking (because I need you to in order to make this post work).
For starters, I've had a lot on my plate with prepping for the L.A. Times Festival this coming weekend, getting words written, blah, blah, blah. Suffice it to say I wasn't thrilled with having another distraction to pull me away from the eternal 'Publishing To Do' list.
Readers of my Lainey Grace book won't be surprised by this, but my frustration vanished once I got out in the yard and started digging to find the source of the busted pipe.

Survivor: Game Changers

3/31/2017

Oi.
In just two episodes, a couple of my favorite players are gone and both from silly mistakes.
Haven't written about my super-fan nerd status of the CBS reality show Survivor, but yeah...big fan.
I've been watching since Survivor first aired when I was a senior in high school. I've applied several times, had an interview to be on the show once when I was in college - (at that time, they told me I was literally too skinny to physically survive. I wouldn't have a problem now, CBS!) I still think it's the best reality show out there and hope it continues for another 34+ seasons because it's different every time.
Reading through various comments on the Survivor Facebook page, it seems like many people aren't fans of the returning player seasons, but I don't mind them.
Or at least I didn't until these last couple weeks when my faves got voted out.
Boo-hoo, right?
​Let's dig in to see who is left and where I'm going for my Final 4.
