Welcome

I've had this site up, or one like it, since about 1995. This page here is pathway to other sites that are in some way useful.  If you would like to hear me talking about the contents, please click on the picture, and some of my ramblings will come your way. 

Use the Site Map to get where you need to be. Good luck to you on your journey elsewhere!

Until the next time,

Here are a list of items that I have created throughout the years that you might find helpful.

[Ebook Success: this is my way of trying to distribute some of the books I've published.] 

[Editing Workshop: if you want to learn more about literary and editing design, you can find some helpful handouts here.]

[ESL Resources: find materials, curriculum, and models, etc., for English as a Second Language.]

[Kimera: A Journal of Fine Writing: my answer to John Locke's query: where is the head with no chimera? This is one of the first literary journal published online. It has quite a following, as shown by the 1000+ submissions received each year. We have writers from all over the world within its pages.]

[Four Reasons for Failure of Comprehension: based on the latest in reading research, this reading curriculum will help people begin to understand the process of reading and how to use it to increase both comprehension and speed.]

[[Levels of Composition: here you will find a page that goes in depth about the differences between beginning,  basic, intermediate, and advanced composition, at least as I see it after eighteen years of research and teaching experience.]

Litweb: a wealth of students seminar and research papers is compile here. 

[Models in Writing, Literature and Grammar: about ten years worth of student work  waits for you here -- don't expect to find work that is perfect -- instead a range is represented.]

 [Pause a Moment: Poetry: in 1995, I often read poetry on the Internet; however, I became discouraged with trying to find any poems -- most links led to ads or some such nonsense, so I decided to create a site that would enable readers to get to an actual poem within three clicks from site -- librarians must love it because it's listed in about forty list of links worldwide, so if you are thirsting for a good read, click here.]

[Online Learner Traits: want to know if you are prepared for that online class in nose piercing or advanced belly-aching? -- this presentation will help you determine if you have the "write," opps, right, stuff.]

[Raven: if you are in the mood for a poem, this one depicts finding a friend in later life who demands nothing but presence and care.]

[Research: scroll through a list of over 100 search engines; how to research on the Internet; and how to research traditionally.]

[Technical Writing: the discourse of technical writers is different than that of normal people.] 

[The Experience of First-year Online Composition Instruction: The Student Perspective:  this is one of the first case studies written and posted on the Internet about students and learning on the Internet.] 

[When the Saints Come Marching In: this book, published by Kimera press, and written by James Powers, a Jesuit priest nearing the end of his career, attempts to depict human frailty amid saints and sinners. What a fun read!]
