You Don’t Need Permission to Be a Creator

Sometimes it feels that way though doesn’t it? Just like someone is supposedly handing out magical permission slips to the creative life. However, whomever this fairy is should also come with a disclaimer for the number of sleepless nights and forgotten meals that go along with attempting to master any art. Grant Faulkner in his … Continue reading You Don’t Need Permission to Be a Creator

Across a Dimension [Fiction]

Lorelei was getting depressingly used to seeing that stranger at the edge of her vision. He moved with the speed of thought though, so he was never there when she looked fully. At first, she wondered if she were haunted. There were stories of such things, a ghost hooking itself to a single person and … Continue reading Across a Dimension [Fiction]

The Truth Is… [Fiction]

As they walked down the drive toward where they had, according to the servants, left the car, Sheridan gave him a disbelieving look. “You were lucky to get out of there with your head.” “He wouldn’t have had me bring you if he intended to execute me. Though I almost thought he meant to execute … Continue reading The Truth Is… [Fiction]

Shameless Plug

Hello all, I hope the holidays are treating you well. Mine so far have been interesting, not always in a good way, but I shall not complain as I’ve had worse at this time of year. I come before you today asking something very simple: Buy a Book! (Preferably one of mine.) I have a … Continue reading Shameless Plug

Meeting with the Magnus [Fiction]

He didn’t take the BMW back to the house to pick up Sheridan. Instead, he stepped out of his office and into his bedroom by shifting his entire body through space. Teleportation was not his best ability, but he could go places he had physically been before quite easily. Sheridan looked up from polishing her … Continue reading Meeting with the Magnus [Fiction]

An Invitation to Dance [Fiction]

Alexander refused to betray the fear gathering under his collar bone. The Magnus, his grandfather, would do him no harm in the end. However, he would make him suffer along the way which he could hardly look forward to. Though they disagreed about how things should be run, the Magnus and Lore had a respect … Continue reading An Invitation to Dance [Fiction]

Business as Usual [Fiction]

Alexander closed his eyes and steadied the world as he waited for the car door to open. Sheridan’s threat to come in after him if he wasn’t ready in twenty minutes had been a good one. He found the strength to be ready in eighteen minutes, a full minute before she would have burst into … Continue reading Business as Usual [Fiction]

Nineteen and Change [Fiction]

His behavior was no longer acceptable. Sheridan had done everything she could to give Alexander space after Lore’s death, but he needed to come out of his room and deal with the world. Things needed his touch, plus the Magnus called every day and she didn’t have a better answer for him than she didn’t … Continue reading Nineteen and Change [Fiction]

The Works in Progress Post

I’m excellent at starting things. Finishing them is something I’m slightly less excellent at. This is not to say I don’t finish things because I do, just not always in a timely fashion. For instance, I started several stories on this blog which I have not completed or even really worked on. So You Wanna … Continue reading The Works in Progress Post

When Love Turns to Burn

I’ve written before about how much I love timed challenges. As many of you know, it is the time of year for National Novel Writing Month, one of my almost yearly accomplishments. Except this year instead of finishing in 21 days, I may not finish at all. I’m a little upset about that. I currently … Continue reading When Love Turns to Burn
