The big news today is about the other side of my other career. I’ve just published three new books about handwriting.

I added new samples of celebrity handwriting and gave it a new name: Reading Between the Lines: Decoding Handwriting. So far, handwriting ana ..read more

Although some people did complain about the title, that didn’t stop it from being a bestseller in the series for many ..read more

King George, VE Day May 8, 1945. During the reign of Britain’s King George VI, the Allies celebrated the defeat of Hitler and the Nazis. This date became recognized as VE Day: Victory in Europe.

The story may be apocryphal, but legend has it that he signed it that way so King George could read it without his spectacles! Other countries may not be invested in celebrating American independence but want to honor handwriting, too, so the American Handwriting Analysis Foundation (AHAF) suggests we expand National Handwriting Day.
