In which I talk about the first couple of day of Stoker Con 2019.

The Burning Roots

I think I started writing about the witch trees in the early 2000s. I am not sure what made me come up with them, the idea of trees that were a sort of witch's coven but far more powerful Far more dangerous. They were creatures, not of earth but part of a larger, darker picture… Continue reading The Burning Roots

ROAD KILL cover reveal

I have written before about my upcoming novel ROAD KILL but I wanted to talk a little more about it as I reveal its cover for the first time. The novel itself, as I have mentioned, was a long time coming. When I wrote the very first version it was vastly different than what it… Continue reading ROAD KILL cover reveal

Happened While I Wasn’t Looking

When I started writing as a kid it wasn't for any other reason than because I had stories to tell. I didn't see the stories as anything other than ways to be creative and to sorta share that creativity with the world. I dunno that anyone ever saw my stories outside of my mom and… Continue reading Happened While I Wasn’t Looking

Anniversaries

As 2019 dawns it brings with it two big anniversaries for me and two signposts in my writing. My first book Back From Nothing was released in 1999. I was a kid then, in more ways than one, and to have a book out was something I never imagined happening. I have gone into the story about… Continue reading Anniversaries

The End Of The Third Age

  Just after midnight last night I finished work on the third Meep Sheep book. It took a little longer than the month I had planned on but I hadn't anticipated the walls I would hit at the end. I can say that I wrote a novella now. One single story that is 83 single spaced pages.… Continue reading The End Of The Third Age

A Glimpse Of The Shadow

   This is one of the many pictures I took today for the cover of A Shadow Over Ever. You get a feel for what I am aiming for, the general idea I was going for, without seeing the for real-real image I have chosen. I wanted something that evoked Pete Anders, the main character… Continue reading A Glimpse Of The Shadow

Looking for Agents and Publishers In All the Wrong Places

I, like about a ma-JILLION writers out there, am looking to generate some interest in a book. The book in question is my novel A Shadow Over Ever. I love the heck out of this book, and I am not saying that just because I began working on it eighteen years ago. Ok, that's a… Continue reading Looking for Agents and Publishers In All the Wrong Places

Welcome back to the Kingdom of Man in a time before there were Meep Sheep,… Continue reading Presenting THE KREEP SHEEP – a grim fairy tale

The Kreep Sheep approaches

Finished the writing for The Kreep Sheep and am on to the editing, sometimes the most fun and arduous part of the whole process. Editing is always interesting because you get to refine the story and re-discover it and make sure it woks. With this book it's a matter of making sure the facts match… Continue reading The Kreep Sheep approaches
