I started writing what would become my first novel when I was a junior in high school way back in 2004. I continued to tinker and add to it over the next ten years.

I was hot off an anxious trip to O’Reilly’s Auto parts, attempting to remedy some burned out taillights when I realized it was approaching dinnertime and neither me nor the misses had defrosted any meats or otherwise planned for dinner. Spurred-on by my millennial parent guilt, I attempted to locate a fast and easy option while refraining from the usual suspects of quick and greasy drive-through. Does such a unicorn exist in Bellevue, Nebraska?

Union Pacific Railroad is the lone Nebraska-based company publicly known to have donated to the new White House ballroom championed by President Donald Trump. It’s also a Nebraska-based company that will soon need a federal regulator to approve a massive merger that, if green-lit, would give the company control of more than 40% of rail freight traffic in the United States.
