A funny thing happens when you write a story, or a book – the work has just begun. If you are lucky enough to have a publisher then they will help with the work of publicizing the book, shipping it, getting it reviewed, getting you signings, and generally just making sure the thing has… Continue reading Together We’re Strong

Appetizers – a story
This was a story I wrote for a friend of mine and Amanda’s. It was her birthday and this was my gift. It changed a LOT along the way, but I am pretty happy with how it came together. Appetizers She shouldn't be out this far, out this late, and certainly not alone. She knew… Continue reading Appetizers – a story
Novel Questions…
OK, I am going to admit something that feels a little embarrassing but well, it is the truth – I don’t know if The Meep Sheep is a novel or not. You see, we all know what a novel is as far as length and all but, well, what if it’s a short story… Continue reading Novel Questions…
The Trouble With Books…
...Is getting the damned things into your hands. I mean, it would seem like it'd be easier than it is, but well, that's how it works. I am going to try to get The Meep Sheep into some bookstores so that work is underway. Not that it is easy without a finished book in hand,… Continue reading The Trouble With Books…
The REAL THE MEEP SHEEP Cover And Other News…
Oh April Fool’s Day, I can love you so sometimes. I took this day to play a little trick on you, dear friend, and for that I am…heck, I am not sorry in the least. My fear though is that mine was a joke that either no one got, or didn’t care about. What… Continue reading The REAL THE MEEP SHEEP Cover And Other News…
What To Do With It When I’m Dead
It is hard not to wonder about the inevitable day when all that you are, all that you know, and all that you have comes to an end and all that is left is the great void. Death, whatever it is, is bound to happen to each of us and facing down that mortality… Continue reading What To Do With It When I’m Dead
Your Dust – edit
So this is the edit of the story I posted the other day. This is very similar to draft one but there are some things added, some changes of ‘her’ to ‘you’ as the story teller is speaking to his wife. I tried to spook it up a bit more, and overall creep it up.… Continue reading Your Dust – edit
The Meep Sheep update
Today is a pretty big day on the calendar of the book kids, as today was the day that the book was submitted for review. Manda finished the last work on the book layout last night and we submitted it all just before midnight. Now, with This Beautiful Darkness we had the worst time… Continue reading The Meep Sheep update
Your Dust – a story
I had mentioned recently the notion of drafts and how a story forms and is changed through writing drafts so, in that spirit, I offer you the first draft of a new story. This was a story that came to me, as most do, with a fleeting notion of someone not being able to… Continue reading Your Dust – a story
It’s All In the Draft…
Of late I have been having a pretty fun time listening to the demo recordings of a band I dig on which has broken up. After they broke up they decided to release a lot of demo tracks and unreleased songs for free online and it’s been fascinating to see where songs I know and… Continue reading It’s All In the Draft…
It Has Begun, This Book Layout…
So as of Sunday The Meep Sheep is being laid out, thanks to my girlfriend. She is a wiz with In Design so she is handling the layout of this book as she did the last one and so far so good. I drive her nutty about stuff (really, I drive everyone nuts so… Continue reading It Has Begun, This Book Layout…
But What Is the Meep Sheep About?
I have been teasing this for a while and it's time to let you know what the book is about (if you didn't already). The Meep Sheep has been bubbling in my head for a while now and when that happens you lose sight of the overall picture. Especially when you have several stories involved.… Continue reading But What Is the Meep Sheep About?
A Seriously Awesome Artist…
I have meant to do this for a while and my silly brain forgets. I met an amazing artist at a con a couple years back and have since had the good fortune to run into him since. An amazing artist and a great guy, and you really need to check his work out -… Continue reading A Seriously Awesome Artist…
