Quick fact - the first horror film I ever saw was Friday the 13th at the drive-in. We're talking 1980 kids, so this is way back when I was six. Now, when I say I 'saw' it I mean that I heard it and saw the end and was freaked the heck out. The second… Continue reading To Drive-Ins…

Snapper
Of all the things I like to do artistically I think photography is the one I am most self conscious about. I mean, writing, it is what it is. I have been writing since I was a teenager and while you never like it when people dislike what you are doing, you also have… Continue reading Snapper
Summer Update…
Well, The Meep Sheep has been out for a couple months now, and This Beautiful Darkness has been out for a year so it’s time for an update me thinks. Basically, so far so good. The Summer has been good so far. The first shows I did – Flint Comix Con, and Motorcity Nighteres were… Continue reading Summer Update…
Requiescat In Pace
There are two things in life I don't think are ever possible - You can never repay the debts owed to the people who you love and who are there for you in life. No matter how long you have, no matter how many words you use, you can never tell the people that you… Continue reading Requiescat In Pace
Three-Duh
Every so often a trend appears within the arts or culture that just takes the world by storm. Many times it’s something to do with technology and as we have aged as a culture this has certainly become apparent. Every ‘art’ has its tech now and you have to live with it, adapt to… Continue reading Three-Duh
Guerilla Art Show/The Art of 625
I have lived at 625 in downtown Flint for nearly five years now and I don't know if I will ever know how deeply this place has affected me. It is here where I put together my second and third book, where I got published in Bare Bone and in Cthulhu Sex, and it is… Continue reading Guerilla Art Show/The Art of 625
straydog – a review
If there is something good you can say about a book written with young adults in mind it is to say that they got their audience right and played to them directly, treating them as the young adults that they are. Too often the YA market is filled with pandering morality tales or books that… Continue reading straydog – a review
For Granted
I have been thinking a lot lately of the ideas of legacy, and have talked about how I hope my own legacy will play out, but there’s another aspect of this that I want to talk about today. As a writer and artist with very limited income it’s pretty hard to find to do… Continue reading For Granted
The Blood Red Prairie – a story
In honor of Father’s Day I wrote my dad a short Western. I hadn’t written a Western before and it was pretty fun. Not sure I’d do a lot of them but it’s always good to try something different to see what you end up with. This is what I came up with. The Blood… Continue reading The Blood Red Prairie – a story
Doing the Circuit
If there’s one thing that I have learned through all these many years as a self published writer it’s that if you are ever going to get the thing out there you have to, well, get the thing out there. I learned pretty early on that if you are not willing to get your… Continue reading Doing the Circuit
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…
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
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…
