"Lagniappe"

If you were wondering, it's a word I learned from my mother. She was born in southern Louisiana where the term is common. It's a small gift or an unexpected benefit, and that's what I intend this page to be.

I'll shine a little light on some of my favorite people and places, and I'll link to a few random thoughts and musings I've had on various topics. I might even relate a few of the misadventures on this writer's life.

Feel free to drop me a line. I'm always eager to hear from fans.

Other Lagniappes For You

Mike's busy on his new novel -- and believe me, it's gonna definitely raise some eyebrows. But for those of you homesick for Benteen County, check out a mini story Mike wrote for the Partridge Rural High School Class of '62's 50th reunion, which he attended.
