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 …
These are wild times, my friends. The real horrors make the fictional horrors seem tame by comparison, but hopefully, we will navigate through the BS together. Speaking of some serious BS... Recently, it has come to everyone's attention that Meta, OpenAI, and even Microsoft have been accused of pirating books to train their AI models. …
Today, I'm taking a different angle with the article. Believe me, I'd much rather be here talking about how I finally watched Trap and Oddity, but I've become increasingly alarmed by aspects of my socials.

Loss is one of the biggest fears we can have. It can come in the form of losing a job, a companion, or a parent. One day you can have the world, and the next you have nothing. We aren't promised anything in this life. There is no guarantee to a comfortable life, money, or …
Sometimes, writing can be difficult for me. It isn't that I lack ideas or have writer's block, but I cannot focus on one thing at a time, which can make my writing time very chaotic. So, I have to plan what I want to accomplish while sitting behind the keyboard. In the past, I haven't …
Wellpaperback. The cover has been finished, and I think Jack Wallen knocked it out of the park again. It fits the mood of the book perfectly. I'm not going to reveal the cover quite yet, but I'm ready to let you wonderful readers in on the back cover blurb. Jacob Hadley is on the brink. …
Welcome to another chat. We survived our family at Thanksgiving, and now we must make it through the holiday season. If you're like me, you're ready to settle down for a healthy bout of day drinking.
