I grew up on MTV. It was Channel 29 for the first 20 years of my life and it was on 24\/7.\u00a0 Then, for some generation-killing reason, some corporate guy at Viacom decided to stop airing music videos, so they went full on into reality TV.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t like anything about reality TV, except a Tony Robbins show on NBC that aired many moons ago. I love music, and I love watching live shows, so this channel has become my therapy for when I\u2019m writing \u2013 which is what I\u2019m doing now.<\/p>\n<p>One of my favorite bands, Eagles of Death Metal, is on MTV Live right now. They\u2019re playing live in Paris, and they\u2019re wearing red feathers on their shirts.\u00a0I liked the Eagles of Death Metal in the past, but watching them playing now, live, I LOVE THEM. Absolutely love them!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not one to point out something negative, but the Eagles of Death Metal were playing during the Paris terrorist attacks in November 2015 at The Bataclan. I remember watching the news thinking of the horror everyone at the concert was going through. People lost their lives that night because of a senseless act of violence. But now I\u2019m watching this band play live on MTV and let me tell you they are tighter, better and stronger than ever. This band witnessed hell in front of their eyes and here they are, playing harder and louder than ever before.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Should the ghosts of our past stop us from moving forward from accomplishing what we were born to do? The answer is a resounding HELL NO!\u00a0Nothing, absolutely nothing, should stop you from doing what you love. I\u2019ve personally had some setbacks in life, sour life changes that made life a bit more difficult. Our past should not represent our future. Anthony Robbins said that. We must forge ahead and create our future. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>When you write, it\u2019s easy to get caught up in the emotions of the past. Your characters could have been people you knew, loved or hated. Stopping what you love because of a setback is not living. Curling up and not moving forward is not what we are intended to do.\u00a0 Everyone has setbacks. All setbacks are simply steppingstones to getting where you want to be. No past-life ghosts should haunt you for more than ten minutes. Life is too short to be dwelling on \u2018what happened\u2019 in the past. The past is prologue to your life now.<\/p>\n<p>If you are reading this, you are alive, and breathing, and well. Life is good and you should be grateful that you have an opportunity to wake up every day and thank everything and everyone for taking those first steps in the morning.\u00a0Every day above ground is a good day. Anthony Robbins said that too.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Now, please excuse me. This live performance from the Eagles of Death Metal has gotten my blood so pumped up, I have to continue writing more of my current manuscript.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">\u201cAnd then we dance all through the whole night.\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> \u2013 Eagles of Death Metal<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align:center;\"><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">Author Interview<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><b>Please tell us about The After House:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>My version of a haunted house tale told from the ghost&#8217;s point of view.<\/p>\n<p><b>Where did the idea for the book come from?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I was watching Maleficent with my wife and I loved that the story was told from the \u201cvillain\u2019s\u201d point of view. I had an idea about a whale-hunting ghost named Eli for a while. After the movie was over, I started writing that night.<\/p>\n<p><b>Many of your books have a paranormal vibe.
