I’d made it to the motel parking lot when I heard the footsteps. A sombrero may make me look good, but it does shit for my hearing, so the bastards were able to scoop me up real quick. The first one gave me a hard slap on the top of the head with an opened palm. The bottle crashed to the ground,...

Here I sit, looking like the bald-headed biker on a bar stool. Most folks think I’m guarding the bathroom door, so they go outside. Well, it’s all because I’VE BEEN EDITED. I gave her the Hope diamond and get back a glittery tennis bracelet.

There are times when I go into the woods and it seems to open up and show me vistas ofetherealbeauty. Those heart-stopping moments don’t always translate well to photographs. Photographing inside of woods is difficult. It tends to come out as one undifferentiated blob. Plus, there is the constant...

Last summer, I decided that I could not--positively could not--acquire any more roses; my yard is full, full, full. Except, how could I resist a rose named St. Cyr?


It's a Pierre de St. Cyr, and dates back to 1838. A Bourbon bred by Plantier, it's deliciously fragrant and is said to grow only 3-5... Read more of this blog post »

Here's the cover to Elizabeth Gannon's next book, "The Snow Queen." It should be out this week.



This one is kind of a departure from my other work, in that it's based on a fairy tale. While not really part of my Consortium of Chaos series, it is sort of related in that it is about the parents of o... Read more of this blog post »

The problem with being a newly self-published author, is getting the public to find your book, then buy it, then read it, then review it.
Without the backing of a traditional publisher, publicity is down to you alone.
I've already touched on social networking as a possible means to get that much ne... Read more of this blog post »

So, I connect to my work through music. I think maybe that's not an uncommon thing to do. Music has tendency to bring out certain feelings and to stay in your memory for a really long time. Pretty much everything I've written has a song tied to it in my mind.

Anyway, I've been writing a short sto... Read more of this blog post »
