I sit here working on some short stuff and preparing to take the next step into a larger world. Soon, I will begin the editing process and rewrites on In Memoriam, my first novella and really a labor of love. Part 1 set the stage with the current stage the novella is in, but tonight …
The Year So Far…(and a pretty good one to boot!)
I started out the year with some modest goals while I tried to build on the beginning success of last year. 2011 was my first full year of writing and I finished the year with 10 stories in 8 anthologies. My goal was 5, so I thought I did ok. Raising the bar higher for …

Back to the Grind and Ranting!
I have returned. I return a different person, a new man. I've tasted the forbidden cigars of Cuba, got smashed on rum punch while jumping into the Caribbean, and found out there is more rum in the islands then I can consume. The last one was a tough pill to swallow for me. Before I …
The Grid
yep, the grid. I'll be off the Internet for a week to partake in a flood of rum. I'll be curious to see what kind of stories come out of this. I won't be able to communicate, so everyone be nice and we'll talk when I log back in. Goodnight, day, whatever...

The Journey Part 1: Novella Thoughts
For those who are new to the blog, or who will be, let me introduce myself. I'm a man of wealth and...wait that's the Devil, not me. I'm Brent Abell, newbie author and general pain in the ass to most who know me. I like my books bloody, my music heavy, and my movies scary. …
Voice in the Wilderness
Busy, busy, busy... I have signed and sent in the contracts for the Chained In The Attic and Undead Tales 2 anthologies, the novella is out there being looked at, and I really want to throw someone under a bus still. That last comment is because I had another story accepted, but the way you …
Station Break
I wanted to interrupt this busy week and weekend to say a full-blown blog entry will be published Sunday night. I'm working on some stuff this weekend to beat a deadline and I hope to have some other news about other things by then. Oh, and we will rant a little. On March 21st, there …
Take a Ride on the Death Train
Well, the great news continues for 2012. "The Reaper Rides" has been selected to be in Rymfire Undead's Undead Tales 2 coming soon. It brought with it the best acceptance letter I've ever received and editor Armand Rosamilia was kind enough to let me reprint it here. After careful consideration, where we looked at each sentence individually for …
