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 …

A New Year with New Challenges
The place where the magic happens. Welcome to the new year! I hope it isn't the dumpster fire the past few years have been like, but you never know anymore. I feel like I haven't swung by to talk with you all, but it has been a couple of months. The time has brought some …

Waiting for Things…
I'm horrible when it comes to patience. For example, when I was growing up, I always hunted for my Christmas presents in advance.

I Miss Short Fiction Writing.
I'm sitting here behind the computer and find myself lost. I've spent so much of my time the past three weeks getting Wicked Tales for Wicked People ready, I haven't worked on anything new. When I started off the year, the usual goal of ten published stories was pushed off. There are only so many …

The End.
Good news! I have finally finished the first draft of The Calling. It took longer then I expected, but it turned out well. Chronologically, this novella takes place before In Memoriam and will have ties to the White Creek novel I'm about 10k words into. When completed, it forms a trilogy and I can put …
