Today’s Fear: Failure

Greetings mortals! I've ironically reached a crossroads in my life. If you've been following along from the crypts, you know I've embarked on a second website and various platform presences called Brent's Crossroads. This endeavor focuses on my love of travel, cruising, and Disney to keep it separate from what I do here. The drawback …

Where Do I Get My Ideas?

I hear this question from people at work and other places all the time. It will come up when they tell me they liked the book, but it was messed up, and they couldn't believe I wrote something like the book they read. So, on occasion, I will answer the question. What do I answer? …

2024 In Review

Greetings, horror hounds! It is colder than the research station in John Carpenter's The Thing, but winter will hopefully go by quickly. Today, I want to reflect on my 2024 as a writer. There have been some ups and downs, but it wasn't too bad overall. It was a busy year, but much work still …

Are Cons Worth the Investment?

Slinging some horror fiction at Nashville Horror Con 2024 Greetings, my fellow horror and fiction enthusiasts! I'm sorry I've been behind on hanging out with you here but launching a new website and associated online presence has been time-consuming.

Well, That Was Something…

Before the Horror Con storm... I will admit, I'm not big on going to first-year cons. You never know what to expect or if anyone will even show up. When I heard about Evansville Horror Con, I was reluctant to set up there. My hometown doesn't exactly seem like the place that would support a …

Here We Go Again

Ready for the masses after some time off. This weekend, I yanked the band-aid off and returned to the table game. It has been three or four years since I set up at a convention. Or anywhere for that matter... It was amazing to meet and connect with readers again in person. I set up …

The Road to Hell…Goes Through Hollywood

They say the road to Hell is paved with good intentions, but in Hollywood it's paved in blood and those personal assistants who you can never quite seem to remember their names. Last year, I attended the inaugural Imaginarium convention in Louisville, KY.  I was finally able to meet long time on-line friend Armand Rosamilia.  …

Imaginarium 2014: There and Back Again

This past weekend, I made my way to Louisville, KY for the Imaginarium convention.  It was the first year for the gathering and it didn't show it.  The promoters did an amazing job and the foundation is rock-solid as this con carries forward.  I can't wait to return next year.  While there, I met some …

Still Alive…

Hey gang, Sorry about the long absence from here, but life has been a blur the past few weeks.  I admit, I've barely been able to turn on my computer, much less write or catch up on the things rampaging in my skull.  There seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel …
