The ‘Witch’ of Abernathy

By Rae Rae Fox I haven’t spoken about this much publicly, but I took on the role of mentor/agent for my goddaughter. She’s not even a teenager yet, but she’s pretty talented. I want to give her the hope and support she needs as a writer and, with any luck, I will leave her with […]

Surgery

Welcome to socialized medicine. It still beats paying out the butt for minimal care. I’m on the waiting list for surgery. Both my wrists are shot, and this is going to effect both my music and writing. I played through the pain for as long as I could and now it’s gotten depressing. If you […]

Rev-iew: Revenge (2018)

As with most other film freaks this week, I decided to watch the other film by “The Substance” director Coralie Fargeat. This will be a short review. Let’s see what the fine folks at Wikipedia have to say about this film: Revenge is a 2017 French rape and revenge action thriller film written and directed by Coralie Fargeat in her feature directorial […]

Wake Up Call

There’s nothing like a 4am tornado siren to put you in the day’s proper mood. Thing is, it wasn’t a tornado siren. They were warning us about wind. High wind, but wind nonetheless. Either weather has gotten evil or humanity has pussed out. I’m claiming the latter. We, as a family, went ahead and made […]

The Eyes of Texas…

I began writing A Taste of Home in 2005. It was a short story about my divorce but with werewolves. In 2010, I penned it into my first fiction novel. I’d written paranormal research books prior to that. I’ll love these characters forever. I currently have a few copies of each marked down to half […]

Enough.

For six months, I’ve done everything I could to relieve the pain in my wrists. No sodas for 2 months, ice packs, pain relieving ointment; you name it. No dice. Now, I can’t write, play guitar, pick up my grandchildren, or perform menial, daily tasks without crying. It has rerouted my quality of life back […]

Rev-iew: Flow

I’m a sucker for animation. This love goes all the way back to the early eighties with the Secret of NIMH and the Dragon’s Lair arcade game. I have a Don Bluth shrine in a corner of my living room. Over the years, traditional 2D animation became lazy (watch anything from Cartoon Network from the […]

New Year’s Resolution Cheat

This year, I decided to cut out sodas as my New Year’s Resolution. It’s basically a slow working poison in a bottle. It also triggers the arthritis in my wrists, and I like playing guitar. After 60 days? I’ve inadvertently lost weight and regained flexibility throughout my body. I think it’s too late for the […]

Rev-iew: The Substance

Wow. That three-letter-word deserves a line all its own. After successfully avoiding any trailers, reviews, or discussions about this film for SIX months, I finally sat down last night and watched “The Substance.” I’d heard it was a “doozy.” I was totally uninterrupted and focused with my spouse by my side. Honestly, she’s the one […]

Stories For Change

I doubt very seriously that’s the title, but I’ve been tapped to contribute a short story to the Volunteers of America charity fundraising anthology. My short story “Exit Survey” will see the light of day! More details soon.
