Rebecca Snow was nice enough to invite me over to her blog so I could answer a few burning questions. I managed to survive my encounter, she only stabbed me once...ok, maybe twice. Click here to head over to the Cemetery Flower Blog where Rebecca stalks those who dare to enter!
The Journey II: Out From the Shell
Growing up, I hated to talk in public. I still do, but I'm more comfortable with it now. Before I started writing for real, I really just liked to stay locked in my shell and go through life quietly. Most of this I believe is due to my really bad self-esteem issues. This part of …
The Journey II: Becoming a Juggler When You Can’t Juggle
Goals. Everyone has them to some extent, but how many do we really reach? I know I have a few for my writing and I'm trying to meet those goals everyday...or almost everyday. A full novel? Started. A short story collection? The pieces are being assembled now. Novella? Done that, but I'm working on another …

My Writing Pet Peeve is…
...Editing. There I said it. I don't like editing. I'd rather have someone shove bamboo under my fingernails than sit through and edit something I wrote. Honestly, when you think about it, I don't think I'd ever grow to gleefully take the red pen of death to my work. While I don't enjoy seeing my stories torn apart, …
Cigar and a beer? Must be a new Release!
The smoke has cleared on the ocean and the great ship swiftly sinks into the waters, an apparent victim of a German U-Boat. But was it the Germans and why did the Lusitania get torpedoed during World War I? The answers are not what they taught you in school... They are much, much worse... From Hazardous Press …
The Journey II: Acting Like A Professional
What do I mean 'act like a professional'? In the horror genre, it is well-known that the authors like to party. I've said in the past that in the writing world, we are the kids who sit in the back of the literary world's classroom and throw things at the others and lob spit balls. …
In “The Compound” With Robert Ford
From the publisher: Tartarus Federal Penitentiary is home to the worst violent criminals society has cultivated. It’s also a revolutionary modern-day fortress, powered by solar panels and built to be a self-sustaining environment, complete with dairy barns and green houses. It’s the perfect place to be when an experimental virus hits the American public, making …
“Coming Soon to a Blog Hop Near You!”
"Coming to a drive-in near you this summer, three college students on the last night of spring break, will find out the road to Hell is paved with good intentions...and blood." Ah, the good old days of the movie trailer. Believe me, there was really a time when the preview didn't tell you the whole movie …
Some History for You…
Before we begin, the last post mentioned that the cover artwork for Hazardous Press's Horrific History anthology had been revealed and now here it is for all to see (art is by Luke Spooner and you can go take a peek at his work at http://www.carrionhouse.com). I dig it and I can't wait for the book …
The Blog I Never Wanted to Write
This morning I was greeted with a release date and a look at the cover art for the Hazardous Press anthology Horrific History I have a story in. I should be thrilled, but instead I find myself quiet, subdued, and sad. As a writer, I seek to find the darkness in our world and give …
