Tea Time

I’m not sure when the Brits do it, but I can see why. An afternoon/evening cup of hot tea is my sundown version of morning coffee. Nowhere near as much caffeine as coffee (at least I don’t think so; I’m not looking it up) and it’s quite calming. We need calm. Mother’s milk, from the […]

Redemption and Redaction

It’s nearing the end of the month. I know this because my 31 day pill caddy told me so. Time flies by quickly when that metaphorical hour glass gets involved. I’m in the middle of narrating the Jim Walker audiobook and it’s quite slow going. This morning, instead of coming straight home to satiate my […]

A Humble Request

Look, I’m going to need everyone in the city of Dallas, especially the Bishop Arts neighborhood, to not need any emergency services for at least the next couple of hours. Don’t get pulled over, and don’t die. Sound-proofing is not Dallas-proofing. I’m trying to get an audiobook recorded here…

Make A Wish…

“Someone call DC and tell them this is how you write a female hero character!” – Lisa Lee Tone, Bibliophelia TemplumAngel Burns is a young firefighter with a shrouded history. During a routine night at work, she stumbles upon a demonic ceremony that brings her memories out of hiding – as well as her repressed […]

Lembas

Swimming Head trips and blank stares Voices compete for dominance in a crowded head It’s standing room only Mass invite; Sent Life is the great tease More so than any stuffed-top hairspray queen circa 1987 Was that specific enough? Blank television says nothing but tells all Not to you; to them The overlords approach Mind […]

Dumbfounded (but should I be?)

Time and time again over the last couple of years, I’ve asked for feedback. Sometimes, I’ll post a winner of a short story seeking the readers’ opinions, and I get nothing. In a world where no one will shut up, why can’t my readers leave a simple like or a two-word comment? Liked it. It […]

Deep Ellum Just Got Deeper

Jim Walker and Angel Burns just moved in together.

Audiobooks? Anyone?

Honestly, I don’t listen to them. I retain information by seeing or doing, not by listening. Still, do YOU listen to audiobooks? Give me ten minutes of your time. This may or may not be a work in progress depending on the criticism.

I’m About To Piss Off An Entire Generation (and I feel fine).

So, I was just downstairs playing through the original arcade ROM of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Konami 1989). I do this every few years for nostalgic purposes, and as a way to zone out and forget whatever lifely troubles burden me at this stage in my life. This time around, something clicked. Either there was […]

Rev-iew: The Prophet (audible)

I don’t have much experience with audiobooks. I absorb things visually and by physical touch. Listening to things has never been my forte. Especially female voices. Just ask my ex-wives, mothers, and daughters. I don’t remember most of what they’ve ever said to me. This is a short listen (barely over an hour) and perfect […]
