Visitor This is my Christmas story. You can take it as real, or fake, or a mix of both. Most stories are that way. True and false. Because the truth is sometimes scarier. And a lie offers more warmth than the cold, hard truth. I was ten when it happened. It was Christmas Eve and… Continue reading Visitor – a story

The Reason and the Why
The Reason and the Why I can’t claim to have many fans of my writing. I think everyone who publishes would like to think that there’s this group of people absolutely chomping at the bit for the next release but I am not much for lying to myself. Those people just don’t exist for me.… Continue reading The Reason and the Why

Sacrifice – Halloween 2014 Story
The temperature had dropped as soon as the sun went down and the children were shivering as they crested Cross Hill. The hill was the unofficial half-way marker between the town of Yance and the deep woods that even the federal government had all but abandoned. As the twenty children reached the top of the… Continue reading Sacrifice – Halloween 2014 Story
Analog Heart – a poem
I haven't tried to write a poem in YEARS but was inspired to try my hand at one. I post this without editing, straight from the cooker. Not sure what I feel but I DO feel this so that's a start. Analog HeartThump. Thump. Thump. Goes my analog heart as the world moves digitally on. My… Continue reading Analog Heart – a poem
The Lady In The Past
This is a new story that was inspired by the desire to do a short, nasty little thing that turned into this, a longer, creepy thing. I REALLY like it. I hope you do to. Fair warning - this is one pass with no edit - so if there are issues they'll be fixed some… Continue reading The Lady In The Past

The Last Sheep – a novel
When I started writing I didn’t think I would one day produce nine books. Not ever. Even when my first book came out. It just…it wouldn’t have computed. It still doesn’t. I have put my ninth book out just before I turn 40. So strange. For me The Last Sheep is the end of a… Continue reading The Last Sheep – a novel
The Vanity Of It All
If there is a topic that drives me crazy as a writer it’s the continual cat calls of VANITY PRESS in regards to people who put their own work out or who go through companies who do it. Naturally BECAUSE it upsets me means that it’s a touch subject. Well, go fig.Here’s the deal –… Continue reading The Vanity Of It All
