The author was approached to write a "Cozy Mystery" and created "A Shadow on the Violets" in a tight timeframe. Despite initial publishing setbacks, the author cherishes the book and considers a sequel. The beautiful cover, crafted by artist Zophael, includes a crochet pattern for readers interested in recreating it.
When I first learned that conventions existed, my mind kinda blew. Here were people from the movies I loved paired with artists, writers, and people selling merch and collectibles, and I was in heaven. I had never imagined such things could exist, but there it was. When I went to more conventions and eventually ended… Continue reading Rules of the Road – AKA – Vendor Manners
Over the weekend my wife and I went on a very rare evening out. Having a kiddo, it's not much of an option, but that's sorta part of the deal, right? So, we went to see comedian Patton Oswalt do a show in Flint. I ADORE the theater he was at, and any chance I… Continue reading Just Shut Up
Hey friends, this is how it all started for me and how I fell in love with filmmaking as a kid due to the emergence of the PXL2000, a "toy" camcorder that came out in the late '80s. My friend and I made films with this weird and wonderful tech and it opened the gates… Continue reading The Spooky Chris Podcast – How it All Started (How I Fell in Love with Filmmaking as a Kid)

I talked at length about my involvement in the Flint arts scene in a couple of previous blogs, but I wanted to talk about the organization I was part of for part of that time. Time is funny in that it gets fuzzy at a point. Now, twenty years after I first joined the Greater… Continue reading The Power of Art – Remembering the Greater Flint Creative Alliance
Vending at an arts or culture show isn't easy, but it's a great way to make connections, friends, and move some of that hot, hot product of yours.
Recently, some friends and I came together for the release of our anthology book, "A New Liberty." This book of protest poetry and stories was created and conceived after the re-election of Donald Trump to the presidency and was our response to it. All proceeds from the book will go to Planned Parenthood of Michigan.… Continue reading The Great Change reading
I think a lot of people have been surprised at how quickly the Trump regime has gone from a clown-show to a full-blown fascist regime. A lot of people supported him and his views and ideals, it’s true, but many never took him seriously enough. Too caught up in their own lives and escapes to… Continue reading You Can’t Ban the Imagination
After the election of Donald Trump to the presidency in 2016, I didn't know what to do with myself. I was angry, frustrated, and felt powerless. I wanted to do something, so I turned to what I do: writing. I reached out to other writer friends, and together, we agreed to put something out into… Continue reading NEW BOOK RELEASE! – A New Liberty
