As I say all the time I get that much of what I do when I write these blogs is bleeding out the toxins in my mind. Man there are a lot of toxins. A lot – a lot. If anyone gets something out of what I write, then awesome. Double awesome. But I get… Continue reading BALANCE

The Old Man In the Woods
I mentioned in another post how some friends and I decided we wanted to make a movie together and how it lead to the movie I now have. Here’s the behind the curtains stuff. When we first started, the idea had been that the three of us would work together on our films – three… Continue reading The Old Man In the Woods
Zero/Sum
When we look up we see sky. We see freedom. We see the bonds of the earth thrown free and the opportunity to soar just out of grasp. We see an open tapestry that shows us the stars and the dreams beyond them. It’s only when we’re caught up in their branches though do we… Continue reading Zero/Sum
That One Time I Used To Do Stuff
As much of a movie person as I am I can’t say I ever had aspirations to direct, act, or really be involved seriously with film. I have an awful memory, I am not a leader, and I can barely balance a pencil so forget a movie budget. I am a film voyeur, not participant.… Continue reading That One Time I Used To Do Stuff
The Art Of The Word
There is a strange misconception when it comes to, well, Art in general but writing in particular. You walk into a bookstore or look online and there’s Fiction, and Literary Fiction, and then the many types of genre fiction. It’s a strange dichotomy. The notion that a horror novel cannot be literary or a literary… Continue reading The Art Of The Word
The House We Never – a story
This is a new story as of 6.23.17. A strange tale of northern Michigan and hidden secrets and deep woods. The story is inspired as much by a recent trip to the U.P, as we 'troll's call the northern part of our state, as it is the sparse, mysterious storytelling that always draws me to… Continue reading The House We Never – a story
The Hopeless
In the internet age it’s hard not to find the many potholes, dead ends, and darkened streets that litter that information highway most of us use consistently. We don’t usually mean to find out way into these places or into these potholes but playing the links can get you into trouble. With so many people… Continue reading The Hopeless
Sorry Not Sorry
So when I write these blogs I write them with the understanding that I am screaming into the darkness. Talking to myself. These are my way to think through things and to see how they look on a shelf. A person or two may read my bloggies and that is rad but I don’t really… Continue reading Sorry Not Sorry
Meet Little Sue!
Once upon a time I had the weird notion to do a kid’s book, inspired by two guests we’d had at our horror con. Both loved monsters and had loved them since they were a kid, being part of the generation known as ‘monster kids’. In my own way I was always a monster kid… Continue reading Meet Little Sue!
STEP BACK, I’M AN EXPERT
The internet is a wonderful and awful place, as we both know. Wonderful because it empowers us to learn, discover, connect, and share the world around us. Awful because too often it empowers people to hide behind their hate, their anger, and their pettiness and creates these pockets where some feel they need to hide.… Continue reading STEP BACK, I’M AN EXPERT
HOME IS
Everyone is from somewhere. Everyone comes from a place that they don’t choose and it’s that place that is their hometown. Some of us move from place to place and hometown doesn’t mean as much, it becomes more centralized to the family itself, they are your hometown. It isn’t until you are a little… Continue reading HOME IS
As A Fan – Pt. 2
I had the interesting opportunity this past weekend to check out a convention that wasn't my 'scene' and it was fascinating. I lean more towards horror conventions and comic conventions if the truth be told, though I VERY rarely go to shows as a fan. I like the fan experience but loathe crowds and never… Continue reading As A Fan – Pt. 2
As A Fan
So I write about conventions usually from the middle of the aisle. I vend at shows, and I have run shows, and I have attended them. I have seen things from more than one angle. I started out though going to shows and while I don't go to many anymore - lack of money and… Continue reading As A Fan
