The Players and the Play…

In my newest book The Meep Sheep the story focuses on four people who are brought together in the hopes of pulling their Kingdom from the brink of forever darkness. The theme of darkness is as old as Mankind itself and is familiar card for those who have ever done any reading. The idea of… Continue reading The Players and the Play…

Well, Hello There…

I will update this later with real stuff but wanted to say hello quickly. This past weekend I did the Art from the Heart art show which was in the building where I live in downtown Flint. Great show and it was great because it was so laid back and so mellow. When artists can… Continue reading Well, Hello There…

People You Should Know…

I know LOTS of creative people so this isn't comprehensive at all but these are some people that I know who are super talented writers and deserve some attention. Chris Reed - a Flint author of dark fiction and horror who will freak your face. Great stuff. Dangerous Lee - a local blogtalk personality and… Continue reading People You Should Know…

A Look Around

As anyone who cares knows I live in downtown Flint, Michigan, a city with a lot written about it, much of which seems to be biased one way or the other. We are not a sainted city, but neither are we a city of monsters. Flint’s the greatest love of your life but the person… Continue reading A Look Around

Witness to History

     When you think of times when you were one of many people to witness history you think of things grand and great. Things that changed the face of the world, or at least your world. The historic moments are the ones that stay with you forever. What we forget though is that history is… Continue reading Witness to History

Ouch

So I have some manner of thing going on with my hands that seems awfully similar to carpal tunnel, which sorta sucks, which is sorta why I haven't updated. That and this issue with a bat I have. Seriously epic blood feud with me and this critter. Waking up to a bat flying around above… Continue reading Ouch

What Ya Learn Along the Way…

So, if you are lucky enough, and keep your eyes and ears open, you are bound to learn new stuff all the time. And as a writer, you are always learning, though, it's usually stuff you feel like you should know or wish you didn't HAVE to know. So, on the journey of The Meep… Continue reading What Ya Learn Along the Way…

What's In Store…

I am super proud to announce that The Meep Sheep and This Beautiful Darkness are both available for purchase at Vault of Midnight comic shop in Ann Arbor. This is one of the most fun shops I have ever been too and one I have been going to for about five years now. Pretty neat… Continue reading What's In Store…

So Why A Fairy Tale?

    As any writer, I loathe labels. Sure, it makes it easier to homogenize what you are doing, and gives you a buzz word to sell the work but jeepers, it seems so limiting to just say ‘oh, it’s a ______’. Nothing is every that cut and dried. Mysteries have an element of terror to… Continue reading So Why A Fairy Tale?

Put It In Writing

I have mentioned it before but for anyone who doesn't know (and cares?) - I work at a used book/collectibles store. Pretty interesting gig that has given me an insight into books and their art form. Today I came across yet another book that frustrates the crap out of me, and that is an autographed… Continue reading Put It In Writing

Now What?

Hey kids. Well, the Motorcity Comic Con has come and gone and now that the dust is settled, well, what next? Well, for me it's back to promoting The Meep Sheep and the other two books. A friend and I headed down to Ann Arbor today and visit Vault of Midnight, a super cool comic… Continue reading Now What?

Motorcity Comic Con 2010 Day 3

And, it’s over. Take down the banners, put away the tables, and take a bow kids ‘cause the whole show is over. Phew. Sunday is usually a drag of a day because it’s the slowest of the days, the end of a long weekend, and by this time I tend to be under-slept and over-sugared.… Continue reading Motorcity Comic Con 2010 Day 3
