Busy, Busy, Busy…
I've been keeping myself busy over the past few months. In addition to my blog and fiction writing, I've been keeping up with my (mostly) bi-weekly creativity podcast and started posting cooking videos on YouTube. In addition to that, I just published another collection of short fiction, Reflections in Blue Water. This is my first official… Continue reading Busy, Busy, Busy…
Words and Images
There's something to be said for the way words and images compliment each other. They've been partners for thousands of years. In fact, some of the earliest writing was simply pictures. So, in a way, images gave birth to words. I think that images can add another level of depth to a story or poem.… Continue reading Words and Images
Loss and Understanding
A friend of mine died this weekend. She collapsed at home and never regained consciousness. As far as I know, she hadn't been ill or complaining of any issues. It was one of those instances where the light switch is flicked and the lights go out. If nothing else, I'm glad it was quick and… Continue reading Loss and Understanding

Gervais replied by stating that he knows that every day is one less day… Continue reading Ticking Away

The Semi-Dream State
I love to dream. Dreaming is my escape, my own personal streaming service, where anything and everything can happen. It's also the breeding ground for most of my short stories. I've always been a dreamer, and not just in the 'head in the clouds' sort of way. I remember having vivid dreams all my life, sometimes… Continue reading The Semi-Dream State
Cover Stories
How important are book covers? Especially now, in the age of e-books, do they really matter? When shopping online, they appear as nothing more than a thumbnail. And on my old Kindle, they appear as black and white images. Not that I spend a ton of money on e-books. I'm still old school when it… Continue reading Cover Stories
