Black Cat Day

Someone said it was National Black Cat Day, but as I’m Australian, I’m going to call it I’national Black Cat Day (as in International). So here are my pics of my favourite black cat.

Blue Moon

Not the song, the moon itself is appearing twice in the month.

Halloween will have a full … Continue reading Blue Moon

A New Story in The Month that was, Even While in the Middle of it!

Did you see the new addition off to the right? Yes, I finished another project. I’ll say the genre is Dark Urban Fantasy with touches of metaphysical and horror, but the latter two are there as an indication, not a notice of classic witchcraft or slasher horror.
