The Latest Reason To Be Ashamed Of Myself
A perfect parody. A spectacular spoof. Check it out now. Excellent read.
Originally posted on readful things blog:
Available now on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited
Description:
“Thursday the Twelfth” is a 15k word parody about a down-on-his-luck killer in a horror book. Filled with absolute silliness, it is not recommended that you read this book if you are concerned with your sanity. For everyone else who is okay with being crazy, please proceed.
Blurb:
What happens if the star of the horror book, the masked murderer, is arrested before he has the chance to kill anyone? A failing college student steps in to take his place. Can it really be that simple? Does the masked killer just walk up to someone and kill them?
Not quite.
Along with following all of the horror monster rules he learned at Psychotic Killer Camp, like:
The killer always gets up again
He always takes the stairs
He must never lose his weapon
He must enter through the most impossible entrance
He…

The First Time
The first time you wrote,
A comment for me,
I could hardly know,
What this would grow to be
The first time we emailed
Privately, of course,
My heart soared and sailed
And you were the source
The first time we texted
More instantaneous now,
The fens to be excepted,
Where 3G is a sow
The first time we spoke
Your beautiful voice,
Took my breath away,
Made me rejoice
The first time we skyped
And I saw your face,
My heart it did flutter,
At your angelic grace
The first time we met,
In the physical world,
Everything shifted,
As my soul unfurled
The first time we kissed
And sizzling sparks flew,
Our lips they touched,
And our love grew
The first time we made …
Such intimate joy,
From the heavens above,
Just a girl and a boy
And all of these firsts,
Led to seconds and thirds,
An infinity of ecstasies,
That you bring unto me.
The ultimate love,
United and free,
Together always,
Is what we shall be.

Love’s Eternal Fire
The passion and desire,
That I feel for you,
Love’s eternal fire,
Does burn so true
That glint in your eyes,
That come hither look,
Let’s read together,
Love’s secret book
That smile that plays,
Upon your lips,
The suns fair radiance,
It doth surely eclipse
Angels do quell,
Their jealous rage,
Your perfect beauty
Doth theirs upstage
Love’s sweet nectar,
I drink it down deep,
Love’s sweet mysteries,
Are ours to reap
Always and forever,
Me with you,
Two hearts as one,
Eternally true.

I Like Leaves
Some leaves. Some mean more than others to me.
I like leaves.
Finally Complete
Clouds of grey,
No sky of blue,
When each day,
I’m without you
But comes that time,
Not oft’ enough,
When the sun doth shine
And I set off
Across the ocean
Back to you
The plane in motion
‘Come on crew!’
Get me to
The one I love,
Fly me in,
From up above
Back to her
I do race,
That metal bird,
Doth cross the space
A finally back,
There in her arms,
Oblivious to all,
But her sweet charms
That pretty face,
Those luscious lips,
I’m whole again,
And now complete
All I Want
All I want is to be with you,
Across the sea in a land so new
Where resides my heart with you,
I should be there with you too
Stuck here on this rock of rain,
I don’t want to be here again.
There’s only one place I want to be
There with you in the land of the free.

Villains V. Anti-heroes: What’s the difference?
Feeling villainous? Excellent advice for writers.
Originally posted on readful things blog:
What? Why do you people always expect me to have an answer?
Kidding…
Villains are the ones that you love to hate. They are eyeball glue for fiction readers. Seriously–want to ensure that the reader will keep turning pages? Give them a well designed villain and an equally matched hero, and they will finish your book and get that Kindle pages read graph to sky-rocket.
When we think about the basic set up of a novel, what do we think of? Hero + Villain = story? Most of the time. Let’s look at that a bit closer.
Most people go that route because it is a less risky formula. It is easy, accepted and authors choose it for those reasons. The likeable protagonist is common because:
*The reader can identify with them easily and put themselves in the character’s place.
*The character embodies all the good things about ourselves and…
