Aaargh! If there is something that drives me crazy about found footage movies/faux-docs it's when they set up something really well but can't figure out how the heck to end things. They build this great structure but forget to put a darn roof on and the whole thing gets flooded. Aaaargh! Anyway, hey, let's talka… Continue reading APOCALYPSE CULT – found footage review

Creeping Your Way
As I am always up to something or other there's a new project I have been working on that I'll be unveiling in October. Something a little different. It's always good to stretch yourself and to experiment and that's what this is about. I'll talk a little more about it as we get into Haunt… Continue reading Creeping Your Way
FLASHBACK – Red Dreams
After discovering that self-publishing was a valid and attainable way to release books the world opened up to me. Suddenly it was a matter of WHEN and HOW I wanted to put work out. There were several options out there but the one I went with was Amazon's Create Space, a self-pub platform that put… Continue reading FLASHBACK – Red Dreams
FLASHBACK – This Beautiful Darkness
The time between the release of Back From Nothing and its follow up seems like an eternity. After releasing my first book I had the sudden realization of...OK, now what? Now what, indeed. It's all well and good to want to get a book out and to accomplish that, however you do it, but then… Continue reading FLASHBACK – This Beautiful Darkness
FLASHBACK – Back From Nothing
Let's travel back in time to where everything began, my first book - Back From Nothing. I was in my late teens when I really became serious about writing. I had joined some friends in working on 'zines and was writing my own stories. I fell in love with story writing as an early teen… Continue reading FLASHBACK – Back From Nothing
The Con Game Carries On – It’s Harder Than It Looks Edition
It’s been a bit of time since I have been to a convention as a ‘fan’. Since I became a vendor I tend to not want to go unless I am vending or, well, behind the scenes. I don’t have the sort of available funds to buy up all the awesome things I want or… Continue reading The Con Game Carries On – It’s Harder Than It Looks Edition
An Ode To The Paperback
I feel a little behind on this one as I missed Paperback Day, an annual appreciation of the paperback book, but I feel like there’s still something I wanted to say about it. As someone who is the child of readers and who grew up a reader there is something utterly wonderful and convenient about… Continue reading An Ode To The Paperback
LEXI – found footage review
I have to admit that it’s interesting running across movies like LEXI, which are found footage but which I have never even read about. It makes it all the more thrilling when the film is pretty good, and friend, this one is pretty good. Huzzah. I think it’s weird when I don’t see anything because… Continue reading LEXI – found footage review
Sit Back And Relax
Man alive, sometimes I wonder why folks even call themselves fans if they are so consistently angry and upset about the things they ‘love’. So many INSIST that their beloved source of fandom has betrayed them and the legacy of that property. WHAT HAVE THOSE MONSTERS DONE? Take the newest Star Wars films and how… Continue reading Sit Back And Relax
You May Just Fall Off That High Horse
Are you like me and are tired, tired, tired of creatives pretending to be better than the projects they are involved in. These are folks who are hired guns and work on projects for a paycheck, whether as a creator or part of the support.Actors. Directors. Writers. Musicians. Whatever. Every project that isn’t creator made… Continue reading You May Just Fall Off That High Horse

This is a passage from deep into the book, nearing the climax. This is our main character, PuerDi, the child of two celestial beings,… Continue reading Another RELIQUARY IN BLACK Sample
Stoking the Fire
There is something utterly thrilling about the big, bombastic reveals of the San Diego Comic Con. Yes, yes, yes, it’s all a big show to get you to open your wallets, but then what isn’t, if we’re honest? From the music performers that put on personas to show how cool they are so you listen… Continue reading Stoking the Fire
Getting Back Out There
For someone who doesn’t really like being around a lot of people I sorta miss events. I miss conventions. I miss putting them on and I miss vending them. I sorta miss going to them but not a ton because it just gives me angst about what I can’t afford to do or get. I… Continue reading Getting Back Out There
