Above and Beyond

Sometimes, you want to go above and beyond. Sometimes, you want to provide more than asked for. I feel that now is one of those times. I’ve been writing a new novel and the more I’ve thought about it, the more I wanted to make it something special. So, I’m taking steps in that direction. [...]

A Deal With The Devil

First things first… I love reading something different. If it is just a twist on a familiar theme, it better be a damned good twist. But, if it is a take on a theme I am unfamiliar with, it just makes my day. Enter J.A. Redmerski’s Dirty Eden. I met Redmerski, online, via Goodreads and [...]

I will return on Monday with new posts and subjects to discuss, including a new book review of J.A. Redmerski’s “Dirty Eden.” In the meantime, here are my 5 Fave Blogs [...]

Brave – A Personal Review

Every once in a while, a film comes along that is more than just pure entertainment value. As much as I proclaim that I only go to the movies to escape the reality of current, modern life…I admit that there are a few films which reach right down into my guts and twist them a [...]

Friday is Art Day!

Art has always been in my blood in one shape, manner or form for as long as I can remember. I have spent long hours painting, writing, designing web interfaces, and photographing damned near anything that caught my eye. For today’s F5, I want to share a few favorites from other folks’ artwork. Enjoy! In [...]

The Asylum Scene

One of the major players in the writer’s toolbox is the ability to describe something. With only words, a writer must be able to bring a subject to life for the reader through the simple but terribly difficult act of visualization. For example, read the paragraphs below and let’s see how well I can bring [...]

Man On A Mission (for Food!)

 So, yes I am on a mission – I refuse to call it a diet. I am on a mission to eat better and lose a few pounds. Last year I was maintaining at around 240. Today I am at 219 and dropping little by little. The Wife is pleased, more for the reason that [...]

The End of the World as We Know It

For today’s Wednesday writing post, I’d like to tackle two separate items. First off, all day today, from midnight to midnight, you can download the Dark Red Press four-novella collection, 4POCALYPSE – Four Tales Of A Dark Future, FOR FREE! Yep. Just click and download. Wham, bam, thank you ma’am. And, yes, you are welcome. [...]

The Race and Tech

This past weekend, the Wife and I photographed the North Texas Susan G. Komen For The Cure “Race For The Cure” event, here, inPlano. It was, as always a very upbeat, supportive affair with hundreds of race participants, supporters and breast cancer survivors. We were in the Survivor tent area and, let me tell you, [...]

Fave Five Vampires – Bite Me!

As I trundle through my new WIP, I find myself with the urge to revisit some old friends. This week’s Friday Five (F5) is going to be my favorite vampires (either in a movie or a book). To be truthful it was a large list to begin with, but I think the ones I’ve chosen [...]
