This year marks a decade of author interviews about all things spooky and scary, fictional AND otherwise! To celebrate ten years of October Bad Moons, ghouls, werewolves, and haunted corn mazes, Teri’s brought back the most popular […]

Beyond the Fetters – New Release by Balroop Singh

Greetings, Readers! Today, I’m delighted to host my friend Balroop Singh and her newly released book. You may have enjoyed her many collections of poetry. Now, she’s branched out into fiction, and I have high hopes for a beautiful story. I haven’t read or reviewed this one yet, but I will soon. Stay tuned. Take […]

The Bone Wall

The Bone Wall was free for a few days as part of an “Enchant your Kindle” group promotion, but that’s over now. I have a couple of days until my next post, so I’m leaving this one up. Check out the creepy trailer. I used a voice modifier since my real voice makes me sound […]

The Bone Wall ( is free)

I don’t talk about this book often. I wrote The Bone Wall during the Iraq War when the US wiped out thousands of lives, based on fabrications about WMDs. The first assault was grotesquely named “Shock and Awe.” I felt no awe, only horror and profound dismay. Ten years later, we live in a world … … Continue reading →

August: a Meadow, a Beach, and Book Reviews

The dry days of August brought more changes to the meadow. The deer have flattened the crisp grass, and the dog sneezes on our berry-picking walks. My legs and arms are scratched bloody, but I have gallons of blackberries in my freezer for winter jam. August heat shimmersthrough hints of autumn coloras seasons transformmeadows sharpen […]

July: Midsummer Meadow, Art, and Book Reviews

Through the dry days of July, my meadow never failed to enchant me. Green surrendered to purple, gold, and feathery seed. Blackberries started to ripen, and I nibbled on the little gifts despite their tartness. I love the way the evening sunlight slants through the leaves and across the grass. Light, the intensity and tone […]

June Meadows, Book Reviews, and an Award

I have a horse pasture, but no horses. Over the years, my neglect has transformed the pasture into a wild meadow, resplendent with life: oxeyes and blackberries, bees and dragonflies, moles and mice, song birds, the scat of coyote, deer, and elk. And a vast variety of grasses. I’ve taken daily walks through the June […]

May Book Reviews

Perhaps you’ve noticed that I’ve been missing a lot lately. My muse has emigrated to parts unknown, and I’ve been spending my days outside, working on a host of projects, some creative and others with a hammer and paintbrush. I’ve decided to stop badgering myself about writing and blogging, to retreat into the trees, and […]
