Halloween is over for another year and the pangs of regret follow in its heavy footsteps. I wish I could have decorated more. I wish I woulda had more candy for the kids. I wish I woulda gone to a haunted house. I wish I woulda written more. I wish I woulda been more in… Continue reading I Remember Halloween

Losing Our Touch
I think we’re losing our touch, we who tell the tales meant to make you shiver. We that cling to the darkness and lurk under beds. I think we’re losing our touch. Horror, when done right is a flirtation, is foreplay, is the romance before the consummation and it only goes all the way… Continue reading Losing Our Touch
Raising A Glass To 625 pt. 2 – Where I Come From…
(Read the first installment of this blog here). It's interesting how something can rile up so many feelings in yourself and others. I had posted elsewhere a status that I had tired of holding my tongue on the state of Flint's 'art scene'. It ended up getting a bit of response, some pro my thought… Continue reading Raising A Glass To 625 pt. 2 – Where I Come From…
Raising A Glass To The 625
When I learned that the place I used to live for many years and where I had put art shows together with friends for those years was finally putting an end to the art show aspect of the building I wanted to write a memorial of sorts.

Showing Restraint
Sometimes too much is just too much. There’s a line, an invisible thing that serves as our marker that states Here There Be Monsters. And through our lives we’ll dance close to the edge on some things, and on others we’ll pull far, far away, and sometimes, sometimes we stride over it to stretch ourselves,… Continue reading Showing Restraint

Contempt
The saying goes 'familiarity breeds contempt' and it couldn't be more true - when you are an artist or a writer and you don't get your book further out than your immediate area you will hit a very, very large wall of indifference. It isn't that people don't like you, and not that they don't… Continue reading Contempt

A Note To Friends And A Press Release – Hooray?
Eighteen years ago I began a journey. It started with a short, weird little story about an angry man with a pumpkin on his head and it became the seed for what would eventually become my first and perhaps only novel. This novel has been with me for a long time. From that short story… Continue reading A Note To Friends And A Press Release – Hooray?
Tips Off The Top
As far as I have had my blogs, and we’re talking a lot of time now, a lot of years, since nearly 2000 so that’s a lot of years and a lot of rambling and as much as I may like to think I have nothing but pearls of wisdom and deep thoughts to offer… Continue reading Tips Off The Top

Some Info On The Novel and The COVER!
Ok, so I fretted and fretted over the book yesterday. I knew it'd be big but didn't realize it'd be THIS big. Part of it is the form factor I chose. It was put it in my head that it'd be neat to have all the books have the same form factor as the other… Continue reading Some Info On The Novel and The COVER!
