I am frequently asked where the name “Paco” came from and it’s really quite simple. I was stationed in Rota, Spain for several years while in the US Navy and the short form of Frank in Spanish is “Paco”.

My wife, who was nine months pregnant at the time with our second child, called my grad office looking for my help…as she was […]

One of my very favorite authors is Dean Koontz. He spins deliciously wonderful and extremely well-written tales of plausible fantasy. He has sold over 400 million copies of his books.
