Yes, due to the unimaginably large quantity of hits on my website (lol), I am forced to head to the sunny south (free) for a few days. Turks and Caicos here I come. I owe this opportunity to my fine friend, The Duke. Maybe the respite will help me to refocus on my ‘work in progress’, Eat The Dead (Why does no one like this title?).

Let’s Make A Short Story Collection
April 3rd, 2009Have just created a page for the gathering of short stories that we can collectively put into a book. I have started things off with one of my own infamous little creations. Yours doesn’t have to be as assinine as mine, variety is the spice of life - and could very well be what differentiates our collection from all the others.
This one is entitled, ‘Dickson Bobbles’. How apt a name it is for this character and this story. Dickson is the kind of person that can’t help but find the trouble in every situation, from pumping gas to internment in a psychiatric hospital - not to mention all the events along the way. Events inadvertent yet karmic, memorable and not quite so.
Don’t miss the noteworthy cameos by such as, Mrs. Vierma, Gunshoe, Trenchcoat, Pliny V, Doctor Rotstein, Sergius Gilmore, a volkswagon and even a small tribute to Adolf Hitler.
I invite writers and readers to peruse it and comment. Better yet, if you have a short story, add it.
If you talk to me about mine I will talk to you about yours.
Lets put the best we get together here into a book and maybe we can publish it.
Tell me why not.
Writing to Writers
April 2nd, 2009This is a writer’s blog. My way to reach out to other writers who are lost in space. This web site is intended to promote my writing and that of other fiction writers. I do not write pretty world stuff. I write about my experiences, and although they might not qualify me for the New York Times bestseller list, at least it qualifies me as a writer of how life is as oposed to how we are all supposed to see it. Join me, talk to me. I will support you and what you do and ask that you support me and what I do. I have one novel, ‘Last Of The Good Guys’ and am presently working on novel two, ‘Eat the Dead’.
Positive Feedback for Last of the Good Guys
April 1st, 2009‘Couldn’t put it down.’
‘It’s the real thing.’
‘Never been in a storm like that but Chapter 14 resonated deep inside me…’
Comments like these make it all worthwhile. Thank you. A first novel that gets me those comments. Thank you.
Speaking of Crunch Meyers
April 1st, 2009Crunch Meyers. It is 1993, Crunch is in Bosnia rescuing the family of the girl he loves. It is the darkest days of the conflict in Eastern Europe, and the Serbs, Croats and Muslims are competing to find new and faster ways to kill one another. Brutality is everywhere.
Have stepped back from Crunch and his adventures. It is a black hole at the moment and seems to consume everything I can offer. I am not sure where to go from here but there are a lot of options.
I am not sure where to go from here but there are a lot of options.
April 4/09 Trials of a writer - Just found out that Crunch’s mother gave birth to him when she was only two years old. Definitely need to do some time line work here.
All My Help
April 1st, 2009I have no idea. I just want to write. How important are those who are not the writer but who take care of all of it. Indispensible. At the moment I am preparing to return to the cave after a almost 2 weeks of being allowed to breath realities air. Met with MO, DV, SW, Barb, Sharon, spoke by email to DV - hope to meet him this week. Want things a little tidy so I can return to the cave and become the frenetic one again. I fear the cave, but it is like my drug, my impossible and compelling chase in the chasm. I am not successful. Why do I suffer myself again. I do not know, yet.
An Apology
March 30th, 2009As hard as it is to believe, I think I have found a way to offend someone who I certainly did not intend to offend. This is an official blog post apology - Please Acccept It.
Sitting and Wondering
March 22nd, 2009Sitting here with Barb and Sharon and wondering why no one has posted to this blog yet?
Now I know the answer, I am not using the blog correctly and so I must learn how. Thanks for getting me moving in the right direction Dan. I hope I don’t make you too crazy.
Living Inside My Mind
February 22nd, 2009As you can see - Not much here, at the moment. Yes, empty, but I am refueling.
