This week’s six comes from the novel’s second half, where Jeremiah Kensington’s nightmare world and horrific reality collide and take turns taunting him. The Six: What the hell? He held his breath as he continued his inspection. Beeping machines and fussy monitors loomed in his peripheral vision. Tubes and wires snaked and wound out of … More Six Sentence Sunday: In the Red (Disc 2)
Today’s 12 Sentence Saturday comes from the second half of In the Red, where Jeremiah is continuously plunged into nightmares, though his reality isn’t much better. The Twelve: The lazy street stretched on to the horizon. The tiny cracks that shouldn’t have mattered became gaping chasms that spit toxic flames and smoke up at him. … More 12 Sentence Saturday: In the Red (Disc 2)
It’s fairly obvious that my love of fantasy and my love of music really fuel In the Red. That comes across pretty blatantly, and I probably don’t even have to say that’s the case anymore.

Because I’ve been talking about my love of rock lately, how about a 12 Sentence Saturday all about the band in my book, the Sons of Pandemonium? After all, we haven’t really seen much of J.K.

And what’s it like to write something so … More On loving rock and writing trashy
Time for another Six Sentence Sunday! And it’s a special Sunday, because it’s also my birthday! (I shall accept any tribute or gratuitous praise throughout the day…) Anyway, this week’s six again comes from my just-released first novel, In the Red! This happens at the very beginning of the book, when the protagonist Jeremiah Kensington … More Six Sentence Sunday: In the Red (more)
So apparently I was a week early with 12 Sentence Saturday…(eh, at the very least I’m dedicated. And an overachiever.) So this week I would also like to do twelve sentences from In the Red, but I suppose to be fair they should be a different 12. So let’s see… This bit happens at the … More 12 Sentence Saturday (for real): In the Red
