Due to an overwhelming response, I’ve had to close the submission window for Outback Horrors Down Under... I will reopen later in the year if we’re still in need of excellent Australian and New Zealand tales of terror! (Steve)

A Day of Kings

How likely is it that all the Kings come out of the Tarot deck in the one reading? If I were to say I’d never seen it before, it’s because there might be a few reasons. One: I don’t do card readings very often (and usually for a character in a story, who might be … Continue reading A Day of Kings

14 Feb

Is it that date already? Now, I’m not the romantic type, not at all, but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate the effect of romantic gestures undertaken all the time, every day, by those who are and who do wonderful things to show the person they love how much they feel.

Every person who writes and shares their writing with others is selling a point of view, so in that sense, every blogger/author/social media poster is well-versed in rhetoric. Rhetoric isn’t new. It’s been around since before the written word, when prehistoric humans sat around fires and told stories. I wonder…

The Enemy Line

Tomorrow, I have a new task. The lines are drawn, but I’m losing. I saw the enemy breach two main lines of defence. They were in the top cupboards, the ones sealed with rubber. And in the main living area, right next to the bedroom. One step takes them into the bedroom. And I am … Continue reading The Enemy Line

I haven’t posted any reviews since last year… for a good while actually. All these reviews are on Goodreads, but I am still not having much luck with Amazon. I reviewed ‘Daddy Won’t Let Mom Drive…’ last year and Amazon rejected it. I submitted my review…
