Russ Waterman

I'm a California Native, reared and educated in what was a small seaside town by the sandy beaches of beautiful Southern California.

I've been playing music and writing stories since the Summer of Love (1967). Dazzling friends with my prose has become the norm. And in my determination to master the Writing Industry, I'm leaving no page unturned.

My passions include fiction, horror with humor, plus non-fiction and historical references. I'm currently writing a Vietnam era novel surrounding the unsung War Dogs.

The Super Bowl Heartbreakers
For me, again, the Super Bowl wasn't so super. No, "my" team didn't lose. I don't even have a team anymore; not since the Los Angeles Rams skipped town back in 1995 for greener pastures in St. Louis. Maybe that's the real crux of the matter? The Super Bowl commercials weren't as up-to-par as in p...
Santa is real, if you believe
It's that festive time of year again, when families get together to decorate a Douglas fir with bright lights and tinsel, feast on a traditional meal and most of all; wait with great anticipation for that fat, jolly old man, dressed in a red suit and hat, to arrive at their house and deliver present...
Imagine, another Number 9 Dream
"Thank you so much. Yes, yes, we are very excited as well! We're going to celebrate a little, kiss our little boy goodnight and go to bed ourselves. It's almost midnight you know and it's been a very long day. Good, then we'll see you tomorrow! Goodnight." Hanging up the pay phone, her body star...
Homage to George
Often described as the quiet Beatle, George Harrison was most definitely the soul of the greatest rock-n-roll band of all time. From the early age of 13 he began teaching himself how to play the guitar. One he bought from a friend for about $6 U.S., a tidy sum of money back in 1956. His playing ...
Is Your Number Up?
Are today's workers becoming a physical commodity that can be brokered like orange juice or pork bellies? Traded away or outsourced in order to boost the company's bottom line? In the ever changing landscape of Corporate America, giving chase to the all mighty dollar, big business is finding many...
The Beatles Sell Shoes?
Did the Beatles sell out? Did they really compromise their artistic integrity just to put a couple extra million dollars into their pockets? Did they, and do their Estates continue to allow Advertisers and Big Business to use many of their compositions simply to make money? Remember those quaint ...
The Horror of Halloween
Ghosts, goblins and creatures of all sorts come out of the woodwork on one special night, once a year. From a creepy crawly lurking beneath your bed, to a monster of unspeakable horror digging its way out of the grave: they all come out! Do they seek to scare and terrorize; are they out for reve...
My Dog with Lupus
Our dog Max, a German shepherd with personality, wouldn’t stop barking. It was early evening and I had just finished feeding him and our other dog named Star. She’s a black Labrador shepherd mix about five years old, one year younger than Max. After several minutes of his incisive barking, I step...
