In my other blog, Christ In
Winter, for 3-11-15, entitled “Send Your Cousin to a Conference,” I told the
story of how someone took the ideas I wrote in an article and turned them into
a lecture series and a book. He acknowledged me, but did not inform me. I would
not have known about it had not my cousin been at the conference. The question
arose for authors, which I asked in that CIW blog, Do we have an obligation to
inform someone whose ideas we have used? If you are looking for an answer, you
probably won’t find one there, but it’s sort of an interesting story to read.

Daughter Katie Kennedy’s Learning to Swear in America will be
published by J. K. Rowling’s publisher, Bloomsbury Press, in 2016.
Author guru Kristen Lamb says
that author blogs are counter-productive, that a blog must be “high concept.” I
have no idea what that means, but just forget about JUST WORDS being an author
blog and consider it ‘high concept.”
My novel, VETS, about four handicapped and homeless Iraqistan veterans who
are accused of murdering a VA doctor, will be published by Black Opal Books in
2015.
