This is entry 19 of 30 in the series A Man Called Edgar Snatch Snatch turned the sledgehammer around in his grip and glanced at the dark brown weighted head. On the end of the sledgehammer’s head, a stain turned the brown metal a sick mixture of purple, crimson and rust-red. Snatch licked his teeth behind his pursed lips and chewed the inside of his mouth. “Rat,” Snatch said. “I Read More...
As you may know, I have several locations on the web where information about me is found. I have my Twitter account, this blog, my flash fiction for #fridayflash, my goodreads account, and I recently joined Formspring to give it a try. That’s a bunch of stuff going on at the same time.

This is entry 18 of 30 in the series A Man Called Edgar Snatch The ground lurched beneath Snatch and he stumbled forward several steps before the ground punched him in his jaw.

This is entry 17 of 30 in the series A Man Called Edgar Snatch Snatch looked down at the mouse and narrowed his gray eyes. He scraped his tongue over his teeth and scratched the greasy stubble of the beard growing under his chin. “Do you know where my hammer is?” The dead mouse played dead. “Do you know where my damned hammer is?” Snatch growled. His voice rumbled in Read More...
CreaWriter is a full-screen word processor designed for writers to increase productivity and creativity, according to the software’s website.

Every blogger I know talks about the disease known as comment spam. I am going to use comment spam for this project. Over the past several weeks, I’ve noticed the amount of comment spam on my blog go up.
