A New Story Is Up: Carolyn

Over a year ago, I wrote a story called For Carolyn and it was published on Tales from the Zombie War. There were a few comments asking for more about both Carolyn and her mother, Alex, and while I normally ignore comments asking for a sequel, I actually had an idea about them and where … Continue reading A New Story Is Up: Carolyn →

The Death of a Year

Let's see if I can remember how to do this. We'll start with an opening sentence and take it from there. Oh hi! I don't really know if there are people who still read this. It's been about, oh, two months since I last updated. I'll make the assumption that everyone who reads my blog … Continue reading The Death of a Year →

Tales of the Whispering Mad and the Mis-Dead: Now in Paperback!

You may remember that I have a book, which is available on the Kindle. Now, everytime I tell people that I have a book and it's only on the Kindle, they tell me, "But I don't have a Kindle."

He influenced the writers who influenced me, Stephen King in particular. And when I got into my big Lovecraft kick right after high school, I began to make a couple of … Continue reading On the Shoulders of Giants →

The Crutch of the Matter

Since I've started working on my series of short stories, writing has become much easier for me. Not necessarily blog entries, since that's a whole other process, but I've now written four or five stories (I lost count), all of which take place in that same world. While I'm digging the ease of writing, but I'm getting … Continue reading The Crutch of the Matter →

I’m Your Boogeyman

I came to the shocking realization that I've taken a fairly passive role with Halloween this year. As I think I've mentioned before, in year's past I used to write one short story a day for the entire month of October. Since I've decided not to do that anymore, I've been writing about scary things, … Continue reading I’m Your Boogeyman →
