October 8, 2026 One year ago today, a rather ordinary little gray tabby cat made an extraordinary decision. She decided that I was going to be her dad. The funny thing is, nobody bothered to tell me. Well, that's not entirely true. She tried. Good heavens, how she tried! It Started With a Stray In June of 2025, a little gray tabby joined the other stray and feral cats that visited my porch looking for something to eat. There was nothing particularly remarkable about her. She

The expensive reality of being a self-published author. If you're a self-published author, you've undoubtedly heard the advice. "You need a website!" "Build your author platform!" "Start a blog!" "Create an email campaign!" "Engage with your readers!" Well, isn't that wonderful? There's just one tiny problem. WHAT READERS? I've had an author's website for four years. Four years of paying hosting fees, writing blogs, promoting books, experimenting with marketing tools, and try

So, You Wrote a Book. Guess What? No One Cares. Congratulations! You did it. You spent months, perhaps years, writing your book. You rewrote it. You edited it. You changed the ending. You changed it back. You stared at the same paragraph so long that the English language temporarily stopped making sense. Then came formatting, cover design, proofreading, more proofreading and that glorious moment when you finally worked up the nerve to hit Publish. You sat back and waited. And

I suppose if I am going to change the direction of this blog, I should begin by introducing myself again. Not as Albert Stanley Jackson, the author. You can find the names of my books elsewhere on this website. I would rather introduce you to the person who existed long before any of those books did. A ten-year-old boy sitting in a creative writing class in Germany. I had never really written a story before. I had certainly told plenty of them. I made up stories for my brothe

Wix can help an author put a decent website online. That part is not the problem. The problem starts when an author expects Wix’s marketing tools to support the way books are actually discovered, bought, reviewed, and remembered. Authors do not market like restaurants, plumbers, boutiques, coaches, or local service providers. A book is not a simple product page. A launch is not just a sale. A reader list is not the same thing as a customer list. That gap matters. For authors,

The first draft rarely arrives in peace. You may sit down with a fresh notebook, a full cup of coffee, and a clear idea of where the story should go. Then the washing machine starts leaking. A child needs help with homework. Your car refuses to start. Dinner needs to be made. A bill shows up at the worst possible time. By the time the house gets quiet, the sentence that felt so bright in your mind has gone dim. That is one of the hardest truths about writing a first draft: th

She Loves Me, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah Before I can tell you about our dramatic, heart-wrenching homecoming, you need to understand something: She did not just stroll into my life. She fought her way back to being a cat who once loved and trusted humans, and somehow, against all odds, she chose me . For more than six months she appeared on my porch with the other gray ghosts, the feral crew Dad now treats like royalty. But unlike the others, she was not wild, not feral. She was… lo

Chapter 43 The Nomad’s Journey Ends Life without Dewey, and now Grandpa, has caused everything inside me to shift. San Diego no longer feels like home. The city is changing so fast I can barely breathe. Jan has drifted away, and I am working two jobs just to keep food in my belly and a roof over my head. I can feel it. The time draws near, and I must close the book on this once-beautiful city and consider beginning a new chapter somewhere new. My mind is fogged with grief.

Chapter 42 He Was The Glue Dad’s words hit me like a brick.I am dazed, confused, and my heart feels as if it is been ripped from my chest. “Grandpa’s very ill,” Dad says, his voice trembling. “You need to come home.” “Home?” The word stings. “You said I could never come home Dad. and besides, I don’t have that kind of money.” I swallowed my words as tears I did not know were hiding suddenly streamed down my cheeks. Of course I want to go. I need to see Grandpa. He is the re

Chapter Six How A House Became A Home Has our story reached its end? Sometimes, as I sit on the porch watching the evening sun set behind the houses before me, it feels that way. Juno is home. She is happy. And I… I am no longer alone. No matter where she is, the sound of my key in the lock brings her running. She greets me like I’m the best thing to happen to her day. I smile, she purrs, and together we have built something neither of us thought we would ever find again: a

The Shadows Have Eyes Chapter Five The Three Little Pigs The kittens have grown. Mama Cat’s three spring babies, dark gray tabbies with identical stripes. Thay move like shadows across the porch at dawn. Not too long ago, there were just three flashes of fur, tiny things darting toward their mother’s bowl before vanishing into the hedges. Now, they arrive like clockwork, no longer the occasional guests, but a hungry trio that expects their breakfast. They are wary. Skittish

Destiny Fullfilled CHAPTER FOUR I Think She Is a Stray We are acclimating. She, to the strange wonders of indoor life; me, to the full-time responsibility of making sure my new baby girl never lacks a single thing she needs, or even vaguely wants. Honestly, I’m not sure which of us needed the other more. There have been signs. This isn’t her first rodeo. How easily she took to the litter box, as if she knew the house rules beforehand. The way she claimed a corner of the couch

Destiny Fullfilled Chapter 3 An Unsure Little Girl and Her Uncertain Daddy After writing about these current events, I decided to do something bold. A decision that would either cement Juno’s place in my life or confirm she was destined to remain an untethered cat. I am going to bring her inside. Not just for a quick snuggle or a late-night salmon snack. A real visit, long enough to see how she handled the big leagues of indoor life: litter boxes, couches, and, of course,

Destiny Fullfilled Chapter 2 Oh My God, My Cat Is Trans Juno’s back. He’s more loving than ever, and that tears me up inside… because now, I am about to leave him for just over a week. Dad has promised to keep feeding Mama Cat and Juno while I am gone, but let’s be honest, cats aren’t exactly known for their chill attitudes when abandoned by their humans. And these past few weeks? Juno and I have bonded hard. Porch time has become our ritual. He curls up like a fuzzy little
