I will never have enough time to read all the books I have and will continue to procure in my lifetime and I am running out of room to store my CDs. I add to my collection almost weekly having no control over my jones for new musical experiences. I have been writing since I was a kid but didn't take it seriously until the early 90s when I started trying to get published. I am very fortunate to be approaching 600 publishing credits which on one hand is just a number but on the other is very cool. I write horror and humor primarily, dabbling in mainstream, fantasy and science fiction. I have had 2 chapboo...more

Poetry Contest Win

I recently got to cross another item off my writing wish list when I won a poetry contest for the first time. My poem "Warm Water" won first place in the Eye on Life Magazine poetry contest. They were also gracious enough to publish my other two contest entries "Archaeology" and "He Waited for the Carriage and Took Aim".

Christopher Hivner said "yes" to attending Aphanasian Stories Free Download date: May 15, 2013 02:01AM location: Amazon, Canada description: I set up a pre-release free Kindle download event for this book but it was scheduled for the same day as the Boston Marathon. To say that it would have been in poor taste for me to promote it on that day would be a gross understatement, so I decided to run one more giveaway on the day I'm "officially" releasing this book. If you pop over to Amazon on the 15th or 16th you ought to be able to pick up a free copy of Aphanasian Stories for your Kindle. If you do, please consider leaving an honest revi...more
