I will never tell anyone I am the smartest person in any room I am in. I will never tell anyone I am better than them because odds are really great, I am not. And I am not going to act as if my beliefs should be the standard for what all others believe… Continue reading The Hills We Die On

The Fires That Drive Us
There are topics that I come to time and again because I feel like we need to hear some things more than once. We need that sort of a mantra that keeps us going. That ‘I Think I Can, I Think I Can, I Think I Can’ sort of thing that fuels us through… Continue reading The Fires That Drive Us
Just What We Always Wanted
You get the feeling that this old coal cart is speeding towards broken track? Sure, we might jump the gap and come out on the other side just fine and zoom off into the distance. Or we could tumble over into the abyss, never to be seen again. That feels like where we’re at,… Continue reading Just What We Always Wanted
The Widow – review
Oh, you wily little movie, you. You almost had me. Well, OK, let’s be honest, you did have me. I went into this film thinking it was Found Footage. I was on my endless trek through the wonders of the found footage subgenre and happened on this import. It was dubbed, but that was… Continue reading The Widow – review

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

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
