I Know What You Need & Toxic Relationships

“I know what you need,” the iconic first line of a Stephen King story by the same name. We are then treated to a journey of self-discovery of Elizabeth Rogan as she first falls into and then out of love with Ed Jackson Hamner, Junior. However, it would hardly be a horror tale if things … Continue reading I Know What You Need & Toxic Relationships

Loneliness in “The Occupant”

The Occupant (2011) is to me an interesting movie in these current times. The current unpleasantness, as I prefer to call it, has driven us back inside our homes and who hasn’t occasionally felt like they weren’t alone in their own home?  In the movie, a young man, Danny Hill, comes into what could be … Continue reading Loneliness in “The Occupant”

Horror in Hard Times

To think of Stephen King when one thinks of horror isn’t a far stretch. I think, however, many do not realize just how much people turn to horror in hard times. 2020 has been a year that many of us would rather never see again. In America, it has forced us back into our homes … Continue reading Horror in Hard Times

The Future Self – “Stop Doing That Sh*t” Continued

 Things have been rather interesting this year, haven’t they? Between lockdowns, a pandemic, and job fluctuations, I can definitely say I’ve had an interesting year. However, at least in my case, it hasn’t been a bad year. I put out several different works of fiction, three of them in October alone. So I’m not going … Continue reading The Future Self – “Stop Doing That Sh*t” Continued

Shelf-Help Continued – Stop Doing that Sh*t

 Those of you who are following along at home, I’m still reading “Stop Doing that Sh*t” by Gary John Bishop. I’m slowly reading through the primary section of the book, the three saboteurs. The first thing, as you may remember from the previous entry, was the idea one had of themselves. This strikes me as … Continue reading Shelf-Help Continued – Stop Doing that Sh*t

Shelf-Help Books: Stop Doing that Sh*t

For those of you who don’t know, I absolutely adore shelf-help books. I find them relaxing to read and sometimes I even learn something pretty awesome about people (which I can use in my writing) or about myself (which improves my life). I occasionally blog about these books because I want somewhere to get my … Continue reading Shelf-Help Books: Stop Doing that Sh*t

Building Writing Habits with Twitch – What I’ve Been Up To

So by now, you’ve heard of Twitch.tv. If you haven’t, it’s a platform, predominantly for gamers of all stripes, where one can broadcast what they’re up to. Since I’m not a gamer, one would assume I couldn’t use it. However, I want to talk about building writing habits using Twitch. You can find me on … Continue reading Building Writing Habits with Twitch – What I’ve Been Up To

Discussing Devil’s Due & The Black Rock

It’s been an interesting year for me truthfully. First, my novella, A Doll’s Life, came out in June from Falstaff Books. Now I’m discussing Devil’s Due, one of two anthologies I’m attached to, coming out in October. The other is SLAY: Stories of the Vampire Noire. Plus, Alice comes out in October, as well. The … Continue reading Discussing Devil’s Due & The Black Rock
