Donald Trump Diehard supporters of Donald Trump for the presidency are beyond persuasion that he would be disastrous for the country. He has boasted that he could shoot someone on a street in downtown Manhattan, and his followers would not be deterred. And the intractability of Trumpeters, in the face of behavior that has […]
Ever hear of crowdfunding? I’d heard of it, but didn’t quite know what it was until a friend explained it. I was looking to take my novel MURDER IN PALM BEACH: The Homicide That Never Died to the next level. Crowdfunding can help with that, I discovered, by creating a campaign to raise money for […]
In a couple of hours, the Amazon Kindle version of my book MURDER IN PALM BEACH: The Homicide That Never Died, will be available FREE for all the rest of Monday, Oct. 10. There are two editions of the book, and I’m talking about the Second Edition. The novel is closely based on a real […]
Donald-Trump This presidential election contest is getting scarier by the day. Not just because of the behavior of one of the candidates, but for what it says about our country that nearly half the population supports him.

It should be apparent to everyone that this man’s ambition is to be a strongman, dictating his preferences on social, global and political issues. While he […]
I found out Thursday night that it’s no longer a man’s world. And I was pretty happy about it. The Palm Beach County chapter of the National Association of Women in Construction (Are you still with me? Twelve words in that title) met at a small restaurant in West Palm Beach, and I was the […]
This is a bit late, but I have to talk about the great concert I heard Saturday night (Dec. 10) in Lake Worth. The Symphonic Band of the Palm Beaches did its annual Christmas performance, and it was anything but a tired rendition of the same old stuff you hear year in and year out […]
Leonard Pitts December 2016 Dear Friends and Family, This will be the most un-Christmas-like letter you will ever receive.

We, as the electorate, have voluntarily chosen to regress decades with our political […]
