A spring hodgepodge of stuff

March 18, 2014 by robmcclel Leave a Comment

Welcome one and all to Spring 2014!  Hope the holidays were fabulous to you and yours, and that your new year has started out with a bang — or at the very least, with little if any snow.  (What up, fellow east-coasters!) As I’m sure will come as no surprise to those who know us; […]

Season’s Greetings!!!

December 20, 2013 by robmcclel Leave a Comment

I love Christmas time, I really do.  I love the weather, the lights, the food, the time with friends and family… all of it.  Now couple everything I just said with the awesomeness that is New Year’s and college bowl season (which I’ll address shortly), and this really is “the most wonderful time of the […]

Turkey Time!!!

November 25, 2013 by robmcclel Leave a Comment

Ah, Thanksgiving… How I’ve missed you and the gluttonous, calorie-rich glory you represent!  Smoked turkey breast, spiral-cut ham, deep-fried venison, sweet potato souffle, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, apple pie, banana puddin’, chocolate cake… vegetables that I’m sure someone not named Ian will eat!  I mean, seriously people!  Throw in all of your favorite friends and […]

Dragons, Pigskins, and Murders… OH MY!!!

September 4, 2013 by robmcclel Leave a Comment

Wheeeeewwww, so thathappened!!!  Of course, by “that” I mean Dragon Con 2013.   For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, allow me to defer to the always lovely and ever-talented Jewel Staite (Firefly) for a quick explanation. “If San Diego Comic Con is your handsome older brother with a Ph.D., wearing a fancy suit […]

‘The night is always darkest before the Con’

August 10, 2013 by robmcclel Leave a Comment

Hey folks!  First and foremost, let me start by apologizing for missing last month’s blog.  As it turns out, July proved to be quite the busy month around the Malone house, and honestly it was all I could do to find time for Red Sky Dawning (otherwise known as RSD or Mako: Book 2) much […]

‘Blog of Steel’

Greetings and salutations, gang!  I do hope your summer is rolling along swimmingly… you know, with the swimming!  😉 As is typically the case this time of year, the Malone household is quite abuzz with activity.  Cookouts, pool parties, church stuff, summer movie season… pretty much anything is fair game right now for entertainment.  We […]

Welcome to summertime, folks, and the latest edition of the Manifesto.  Man oh man, how much do I love this time of year?  Beaches, barbeques, buddies, and beers… pretty much my mantra for the next four months.  Throw in the summer movie season, the summer concert series (Dropkick Murphys and John Mayer this year… BAM!), […]

April 17, 2013 by robmcclel Leave a Comment

Hello again, everyone, and welcome back for another edition of the Mako Manifesto! As I sit here in front of my computer, lacing up my sneakers for yet another agonizing trot through the land of sweat, shin splints, and pollen, it occurs to me that perhaps I should stop being so selfish with my ever-pressing […]

Greetings, one and all, to the official re-launch of The Mako Manifesto.  We’ve waited a while for this one, have we not? Well, it’s finally here… the story that took me three and a half years to finish… ***deep pensive sigh*** Yeah, that was a thing! So, now that the cat named “Mako” is officially […]
