A Parade For One
It's interesting that the older we get, the more we are told to 'act our age' and to 'grow up' and to behave as we imagine an adult is supposed to act. It's one of the biggest con jobs out there. We base our perception on what adults act like on the way people acted… Continue reading A Parade For One
Picture Pages!
Here are some of the images from the past. Alternate cover photos for books, some shots from the shoot of I Am The Door, a promo image for an event, and the two books I received Honorable mention in for stories. One of the alternate shots from Roadkill cover. More Roadkill tries. Even MORE Roadkill.… Continue reading Picture Pages!
The Myth of Magic and Innocence
Before I begin can we just all agree on one thing – there has never been, nor ever will be, a time of ‘magic and innocence’ in our world. Can we agree on that? Don’t give me this ‘those were simpler times’ nonsense either. Humans have been rotten to one another from day one… Continue reading The Myth of Magic and Innocence
DIY
As someone who has been in and around the arts for half of my life now, more than, I guess, I feel that I can safely say that creatives need support. They need folks that will stand by them, stand with them, and who will help broadcast what they are doing (if the people broadcasting… Continue reading DIY
The Things You Love Will Carry You Away
We are all a product of our time. The culture, the economy, the media, the school systems, the politics, and the society itself help to mold us. So many things influence who we are and who we become that the notion that we are ‘our own person’ seems a bit silly. Sure, we make… Continue reading The Things You Love Will Carry You Away
Fighting The Good Fight
There’s a familiar sentiment that comes up every so often that is just Gatekeeper Talk trying to dissuade you from doing this or that for reasons we are told are for our own good. I remember being in 8th grade and choosing what I wanted to do with my future as far as a… Continue reading Fighting The Good Fight
Everyone Loves A Pitch
Hey, thanks for coming to my little site, and such. And such. Since I have had a lot of traffic of late I figured I'd re-introduce myself. My name's Chris...and you are? Great, great, it's great to meet you _________! Super. Well, I am a writer, having written books ranging from horror to fiction to… Continue reading Everyone Loves A Pitch
The Platform’s Broken
As someone who was on social media posting ridiculous things for years and years and as someone who has benefited from there being a self-publishing platform for podcasting and writing, I appreciate the joys of free speech. I appreciate the ability to say something knowing that hey, I can say it but if I… Continue reading The Platform’s Broken
FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM: The Secrets of Dumbledore – movie review
Two Housekeeping notes before I begin – that’s the sort of thing they say at meetings, so this is like we’re at a super important meeting about butter or some such. Can we just talk about how silly it is for creatives/studios to declare at the outset of a film coming out – OH, well… Continue reading FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM: The Secrets of Dumbledore – movie review
THEY’RE OUTSIDE – found footage movie review
One of the offshoots I have come to love of the found footage/faux-umentary subgenre are the ones that deal with urban myths and folktales and the like. There’s something eerie about the ones that are done right because it taps into a collective fear of dark places and whispered histories. We all know those… Continue reading THEY’RE OUTSIDE – found footage movie review
DEAD VOICES – found footage movie review
The hardest thing with so many of these found footage movies I am realizing is that, as sincere and well intentioned as many of these films may well be, that’s just not enough to make them ‘good’ movies. And by good here I mean successful. GOOD is a relative term. I love PLENTY of… Continue reading DEAD VOICES – found footage movie review
Another Big Thing
I have officially completed the first draft of the next book, a dark thriller. This was not an intentional thing but once I got writing it just sorta kept doing its thing. I began it just under a month ago and, first draft finished, I have a book just under traditional novel length. We'll see… Continue reading Another Big Thing
