Bits and pieces of everyday life. Some of it came from news stories about crimes in rural areas. Some comes from having a lot of artists friends. I take it all in and distill it out into delicious mystery. Chance are, if I know you, I've stolen a piece of your soul and put it in my work.

Final proofing of What The Chat Dragged In. Edits for Killer Clowns From Out Of State. Then The Girl Of His Dreams. After that finishing edits on the sequel to American Goth. And trying to finish a wonderful story I started writing last June called Truth Be Told.

I don't believe in it. Honestly, I've worked writing copy for promotions and websites for many years and I never left a commercial unfinished because I couldn't think of what to say. I think it's something writers sometimes give themselves permission to do... stop writing and feel sorry for ourselves. Write through it. If it's not good, you can rewrite it or throw it out. But write.
