I'm just a tad late to this game, but being the Stephen King fan that I am, I couldn't let Castle Rock, Season 1 go without watching. It took me two full weekends to get through all nine episodes and I'm left with this question - What the hell did I just watch? I liken … Continue reading Now That Was Disappointing.
Something Written This Way Comes

July 18, 2017 A long, long, time ago, in a galaxy far away… Ha, yeah. There’s no comparing this journey I’ve been on to the epic trials and tribulations Luke had to endure on his way to Jedi-hood. But it’s close ;-). What am I talking about, you ask? I’m talking about the day I … Continue reading

19 of 40 – Another scene
This is more of an excerpt of a scene, but it lit me up as I was writing it... “So how does all this work?” “Well, okay. There’s The Source. It is the energy or whatever that created everything. In human science, Its called The Big Bang, in human religions, Its usually called God. Alright, … Continue reading 19 of 40 – Another scene

Migraine Fairy is swooping in for a visit. I haven't had any water today (the first in two, maybe three weeks I didn't have any water, the third in two weeks that I didn't get 64 full ounces). There's also a tropical storm a'brewing in the Atlantic. Doesn't take much, just the flap of those … Continue reading 18 of 40 – Another scene

Camp NaNo begins and it's off to my back files to dig out my next manuscript for release prep. I tend to rebel during the Camps and will start with a piece that's partially written and vow to add 50K words to what I've already done. So it's still a 50K challenge, I'm just starting … Continue reading 2 of 40
That’s It!
I imagined I'd write horror. After all, it's what I read, what I watched (the classics mostly), what I felt most of my childhood (bullying and assorted other traumas); what I dreamt most nights. I wanted to be the monster under the bed for a change. But when I embraced my writing for real, what … Continue reading That’s It!
Random Bits & Pieces
Happy Birthday I am now officially involved in counting down to my 50th birthday. I've got a list of activities I'm going to shoot for enjoying in the next 12 months, all culminating in the biggest birthday celebration I've had to date.

Soundtrack
I've never done this before, come up with a soundtrack to one of my novels but for some reason as I put the finishing touches on The Other Woman, all these songs are popping into my head. I'm using them as chapter headings :-). When the manuscript is formatted and ready for beta, I'm going … Continue reading Soundtrack
