Hello again dear reader, it's been quite a while and I owe you some updates. First things first, the absence: I have a wonderful job that inspires my writing. But due to the work load and yearly adjustment period, I had to drop most things to focus on work and readjusting to it. I also … Continue reading Updates
Ghostly Giveaway
I've always been fond of the idea of giving something away to party go-ers as they come to celebrate your birthday. With my birthday occurring this month (this week in fact), I thought it would be fun to celebrate by giving away a book. Earlier this month, I mentioned The Phantom Coach (edited by Michael … Continue reading Ghostly Giveaway
Summer Ghost Stories
Darkness is weird. It's simultaneously comforting and terrifying. Comforting, because the blinding lights and thunderous sounds of the day are softened. Terrifying because do you want to stumble through the dark and step on that Lego you should have picked up earlier? Exactly. I tend to get these sorts of thoughts during the summer. While … Continue reading Summer Ghost Stories
On Birds and Writer Blocks
The weather where I am is nice. When I'm not nearly drowning in all the rain that is. Yesterday was a lovely day though. Sunny, humid, but with a wind at just the right moments. It was a good day. Namely because I got to hold a bird. Now I live in a house with … Continue reading On Birds and Writer Blocks
Short Hiatus
I know things get spooky when it gets quiet (you never know when the monsters are going to pounce), but I swear I'm quite alive and not a ghost or some sort of monstrous beast. I won't get terribly detailed, but in short transferring to my dream job (one that allows me plenty of time … Continue reading Short Hiatus
The Hellsing Effect
Nazis, vampires, religious struggles, and near endless blood. This is the story that I fell in love with as a young teenager. The Hellsing manga (by Kohta Hirano) is a dark and bizarre tale of two Christian organizations (one Catholic and the other the Protestant organization, Hellsing) discovering that Nazis are not a thing of … Continue reading The Hellsing Effect
A Quiet Start
If Scrooge and the Grinch are icons of Christmas displeasure then I would be an icon of New Years Eve displeasure. Then again, this year, health issues might have something to do with that. Obviously, I have to do things a little differently. The upcoming year will be a quiet one for me. I swore … Continue reading A Quiet Start
Of Secrets and Sound Release
Five years ago I started the Secrets of the Lion series. Now, "Of Secrets, Letters, and Lions" finally has its sequel. Of Secrets and Sound was both a challenge and a joy to write. It's been a long time coming. I'm delighted to finally unleash it on the world. Especially on one of my favorite … Continue reading Of Secrets and Sound Release
Of Dire Dreams (an October Reading List)
October is one of my favorite months. In the south, the weather is finally starting to feel like fall. The leaves are turning their warmest colors. There's no place you can walk without that satisfying crunch of leaves underfoot. My morbid soul comes to life as I watch the plastic and inflatable un-dead rise from … Continue reading Of Dire Dreams (an October Reading List)
An Appealing Darkness
We come into this world knowing very little. But all of us quickly find out what we like. You see, the trick to writing is not 'write what you know', it's 'write what you like'. It took me years to figure that out, but thankfully I did. It was the darker tales that appealed to … Continue reading An Appealing Darkness
