Throwback Thursday: The Lady of Shalott, by John William Waterhouse (1888)
Inspired by the poem of the same name by Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809–1892): The Lady of Shalott PART I ON either side the river lie Long fields of barley and of rye, That clothe the wold and meet the sky; And thro' the field the road runs by To many-tower'd Camelot; And up and down...

WIP-it Wednesday: September 6th, 2017
Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! Because of the Labor Day holiday, I had a long weekend and got a lot done. :-) Although there was some straight-up writing involved, the majority of work I did over the three day period consisted of editing at least...

Mid-Week Muses: “One Ship? Show Me.”
A weekly compilation of collected microfictions composed by yours truly. If your time is short, these are shorter! He'd hiked up a mountain in Maine, Mai one in Japan. They met in wonderment, brought by the mists to an Everest sized pyramid. His birth removed from the time stream, he lingered as a paradox. Memories... Continue Reading →

WIP-it Wednesday: August 30th, 2017

I added 3,200 words to the new chapter seven of Vivian’s Last Cigarette over the weekend, getting its total word-count to 7,300 as of 11pm Sunday. I’d hoped to finish the chapter by then… but alas… I once again came... Continue Reading →
Mid-Week Muses: “A Push for a Pull, Faux Kung-Fu, and Laughter.”
A weekly compilation of collected microfictions composed by yours truly. If your time is short, these are shorter! It wasn't a gallant dance, it was two men swinging blades in the mud. Pinning the knight's swordarm, Oris stabbed him in the eye. He sang a song alone: A man now a monster, a giant spider... Continue Reading →
