What is literature? And where am I in the mix?

What is literature? And where am I in the mix?   -or-   The art of crafting the next ‘Great American Novel.’     So here’s the deal: Angels of Mercy is something I’ve been blogging about for a while now. It is a very long and involved work that when I first visualized it […]

The Art of Man

The Art of Man   So I am running a bit late. I usually take care of this well before the month cycles over. Things got hectic, things got in the way, as they sometimes do in life. But I’ve learned that more often than not sometimes the universe is at work when you may […]

With a plate full of fluff, where do I put my literature?

With a plate full of fluff, where do I put my literature?     This one is a pure rant. I accept any bullshit flung my way from this vomit of “where’s the fucking art” in writing that I am about to sling your way. This past year I woke up after toying for (literally) […]

When Gay Men Have Straight Sex… [NSFW]

When Gay Men Have Straight Sex … -or- why my guys are more like real guys than the stuff you read in m/m romance.   I’ve done it now. Angels of Mercy won’t be an easy read for the chicks who dig their man on man (on man?) love action. There’s a cardinal rule there […]

Banned By Association

Banned By Association   Okay, maybe it was my fault. Maybe … So I hit a BIG learning curve here.  Epically so.  Why, you might ask? Because my first work, a novel that was released to the world from several selling platforms, Amazon being just one of them. But since it all took place this […]

#JeSuisCharlie

#JeSuisCharlie     On the eve of Charlie Hebdo’s monumental 3 million copy release to the world, I find I am still saddened by the loss. As a writer, I can’t help but be moved by tremendous artists and writers being cut down when they clearly had so much more to give us. I hate […]

Quick! The Stork Done Took My Baby!

Quick! The Stork Done Took My Baby!   Okay, not really freaking out too much here. I mean, there was no stork, even if there was a baby (of sorts). What happened was, I bit the bullet. I grinned and bear(ed) it. I took a leap of faith… I published my first work. I’m happy […]

Covering Old Ground

Covering Old Ground – More Cover Artwork for HO’M,O – Henry O’Malley, Omega.   So here I am again- more discussion on the arc of creating a look/feel for a book I’ve been putting together. It started out simple enough (almost bland in it’s simplicity):     Actually this is a later iteration as I […]
