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 …
The Best Words Ever
The Table is Set to Serve Up Some Horror. The best words an author can type are "The End." Nothing is more satisfying than finally typing those two little words. They may be small, but they mean so much. It is the end of a long and torturous journey into a writer's mind and soul. …
Welcome to the New Year!

The Dead Still Speak
Work is wrapping up on Dragonflies. I've reached the last few thousand words and White Creek is in for a hell of an ending. Once I finish, it'll be put away for a couple of weeks and editing will begin after that. In the mean time, I want to announce the next project. I will …

Tomorrow Armand Rosamilia, Jack Wallen, Jay Wilburn, and myself arrive in the center of the BBQ Universe to herald the release of our horror/humor masterpiece, Hollywood Hellmouth. Our Gang of Four will be at …
2015 State of the Bookshelf Address
Hello readers, Today I come before you to discuss our year together for 2015. I've come before you in the past and I have brought good tidings and good news. I have typed. I have been accepted and I have been rejected (sometimes on the same day). Hear me, one thing has never changed and …
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. …
