Since today is my birthday (feel free to leave your gratuitous praise and adoration in the comments), I figured I’d post something appropriate. Since it’s a con week, I am going to be lazy and totally pimp my excerpts all this week because I am old and I can. It is a known fact that … More Short: September Children
I wanted to touch on a few new releases, titles of note, upcoming things today. It’s always fun to see what everyone is up to, and I know some insanely talented people.

I was running around all weekend, so unfortunately I missed the chance to do something for midsummer. Never fear, I’ll probably play catch up this week if I can get a particular guest blogger to weigh in on the holiday. Until then, however, I thought I’d post a faerie-themed short. True, this was written with … More Prose: Beltane in the Modern World
I haven’t done a prose post in a while, so in honor of women in horror month, I thought I’d post something that not only is dark, but also features two iconic female leads. While I admit this is probably closer to dark fantasy, I think a lot of the same things that play well … More Prose: Bloodied Snow
More of a casual essay, this piece is also included in Lost in the Shadows. People brushing off art or their own possibility by claiming they’re not creative has always bothered me.

To keep on going with the ideas can come from anywhere theme, I thought I’d put up a short today and touch on a little bit of back story. I go through stages where I outline or craft definite genre pieces, but at times I slide back into things that aren’t quite one thing or … More Prose: On Fire
I’m really happy to be a host for this book. I love interesting anthology topics, plus today’s post is by an author who is not only an up-and-coming talent, but a friend of mine! First, though, you know the rules! Let’s check out the book… Print Kindle How far would Gandalf … More TCM Presents: Hero’s Best Friend
It is one of the most beautiful months of the year… I mean yeah, there’s all that love and stuff that’s part of February, but let’s focus on what this month is really about: women participating and being recognized as an important part of the horror genre. I’m going to repost some of the things … More Available now: The Grotesquerie
Since not all holidays are cozy, and the season can be an effective backdrop for horror stories, today’s excerpt is from my short zombie story Candles, which appears in Lost in the Shadows. Granted, this is very dark in comparison to my other Christmas excerpts, but I’m proud of this piece overall, and was glad … More Holiday Horror Excerpt: Candles
I thought I’d lead up to Christmas by posting some excerpts of my own Christmas stories. Today’s choice is a bit from a holiday story in Lost in the Shadows called A Newborn King to See. Like everything else, I’m always fascinated by archetypes and characters of the holiday season, so this is an exploration … More Holiday Excerpt: A Newborn King to See
