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 →
Mid-Week Muses: “The dilapidated colony ship loomed like a corpse”
A weekly compilation of collected microfictions composed by yours truly. If your time is short, these are shorter! The warbot staved-in half of old 49's android face. But 49 was unyielding, defending the new mother and infant tenaciously. #1lineWed Calliope listened to the whispers. "...Exer! That's what GARS does to you." Half human and cat,... Continue Reading →
Art-Tastic Tuesday: Pirate Cove by Andy Walsh
Click the picture below for full-size. On Art-Tastic Tuesdays I feature a selected piece of visual art that I have come across.

Epic Music Monday: Audiomachine – Changing Heart
I love epic music! For me it is a perfect combination of the classic orchestral scoring, chorales and electronica music that I have enjoyed for decades. This stuff inspires me, and is a great companion as I write away on an exiting piece of fiction. Therefore, on Mondays I share a new piece by various... Continue Reading →
Photo Finish Friday: ‘Stokksnes’ by Sergey Aleshchenko
Click the picture below for full-size. On Photo Finish Fridays, I feature a selected piece of landscape photography that I have come across. I find that real-world photography can be just as inspirational to my imagination for crafting story settings as any piece of fantastic artwork that I might share on a Tuesday. I present...

Throwback Thursday: Michael Giacchino – “Roar” (The Cloverfield Overture)
I can't believe it's been almost nine years since this movie came out! I'd forgotten how good it's overture, only played during the film's credits, was. Many thematic tributes to Godzilla and Daikaiju film scores, as is fitting for a found-footage film about a giant monster attacking NYC. The stark lack of a score in... Continue Reading →
WIP-it Wednesday: January 4th, 2017
Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! Lots and lots of roadblocks in the way of writing this week. I’m afraid I have nothing new to report in regards to completed fiction. :-( That doesn’t mean it was a bad week, however. Parts of it certainly were... Continue Reading →
Twenty Sixteen: What It Meant to Me
Twenty-Sixteen will be remembered by many as a rotten year. A lot of bad things happened, a lot of beloved people died, and a lot of events were put into motion that place the fate of Twenty-Seventeen under ominous clouds. All the same though, I remember and say this: Events are always in motion. People... Continue Reading →
Mid-Week Muses: “It’s AMAZEBALLS!”
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. Plunging down her throat, a wail finished before it started. #1linewed "My spell forces the truth from you! Why do you follow me?" He pulled... Continue Reading →
