WIP-it Wednesday: January 11th, 2017
Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! I finally got back to working on Vivian’s Last Cigarette! The last chapter is started, and although I didn’t get a ton written, I did add a solid twelve-hundred words. Those words comprised a tricky opening scene that introduces three... Continue Reading →

A weekly compilation of collected microfictions composed by yours truly. If your time is short, these are shorter! Slapping over Lisa like a wet blanket, ooze dissolved skin and hair.

Throwback Thursday: The North Watch by Keith Parkinson
This classic artwork by Keith Parkinson graced the cover of Dragon Magazine #137, which arrived in my mailbox (and fourteen-year-old hands) way back in September of 1988. His vision in this piece really sticks with me. In many a cold Maine winter, like the one outside my window right now... I'm still glancing over my... Continue Reading →
