Okay, so I typically touch on a bit of everything in this blog, from sports to music, movies, food, and of course… writing. That said, tonight is FINALLY the NFL Draft (should’ve been two weekends ago at noon on a Saturday, but I digress) and given that this is one of my favorite days on…
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;…
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…

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…
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!),…
