THE FEAR OF CLOWNS As dark as the night was, the smoke coming from the fire was thicker, and blacker, and blotted out the sliver of moon that hung low in the sky. The moon watched things more closely on Halloween night, and watched keenly, and tonight there was much to see. The man, well… Continue reading The Fear of Clowns – a Halloween tale

Challenge
Life is full of challenge. That's what makes it interesting, to be sure. As a writer though, the challenges are different. It's about finding publishers or keeping them.
