My next Kindle release will be a collection of previously written Friday Flashes (no longer available online since the demise of Posterous) and selected stories posted here on this blog. I now have two possible covers for the collection of anxiety, paranoia and fear. I’d really love some opinions on both covers, and which you would choose!
Page 11B. That’s me, on page 11B. Tucked back there behind Mrs. Schoford’s obituary. After the “Help Wanted” ad. I’m tucked in there, barely a blip in the page. Nice and snug, the article about me is barely two sentences. I guess the new Kardashian baby is more interesting than the stalker seen in so many windows. Page 11B, though. Is that really all that I am? There’s a new Read More...
We all get bogged down in the work of writing sometimes, and I find it helpful to look to the greats at times like that. Here I’ve shared five inspirational quotes that should help get you back on track. Now, what inspires me may be different from what inspires you, so this list is highly subjective. I love this quote for one reason: it illustrates the way I feel. I Read More...
“You can never settle for less than true love. If you do, some part of you is going to be empty. Some part of you is always going to wonder what you could have had, if you hadn’t settled. That empty feeling will start out small, a tiny hole, but will eat at you until it’s big enough to cut you in half.” Davis ran his right hand through his Read More...
There’s no doubt in my mind that if you’re a writer with any kind of online presence in this time, you are a member to at least one social networking site. Social networking sites come in many different shapes, sizes, colors and niches – some of which are even aimed directly at the modern writer. The big three you are going to hear about if you do any kind of Read More...
The cover to my upcoming collection of short stories. More information to come soon.
Life is full of disappointments, Snatch. You brush yourself off and you fucking kill something. Snatch looked up from the dirty ground and stared into the gray clouds. The little voice in his ear irritated him and the familiar headache quickly made its return. The world wobbled beneath him and the sky started to cry. Go ahead, Snatch. She’ll follow you into the woods if you ask her.
To Giorgio Tsoukalos’ hair, I hope you can read this letter from way up there, so high, held in place by so much hair product, perched atop that head, starting right above that olive-skinned forehead. My fascination burns deeply in my soul, down in the meaty mass of my beating heart, driving me to write to you and express my deepest thoughts. You are quite the wonder – a true Read More...
I’ve had a full plate lately, and it’s shown in the scarcity of updates for this blog. I’m currently reading submissions, working on a site redesign and preparing our first anthology over at Speech Bubble Magazine. I’ve also been focusing a bit more effort on my fiction again, in hopes of returning to this blog with fresh new fiction content – mainly my planned web serial – The Penny Pincher. Read More...
It’s been a while since I sat down to write something other than a book, short story or a freelance piece. It’s also been a while since I’ve sat at a computer to do something for myself. That’s not the sign of a disinterested man; it’s the sign of a busy freelancer. The past couple of weeks have been busy ones for me, that’s for sure. A couple jobs done, Read More...
