I actually do plan to get back to doing my own content soon, but in the meantime, I definitely wanted to pass this along. A friend of mine has a story in a contest at Inkitt and would appreciate some votes if you’re so inclined. Her story is called War of the Words, and it’s … More Read & Vote: War of the Words!
Oh me oh my, kidlets, have I got a treat for you today! My cohort, co-author, best bud, and enabler SH Roddey is here to rock your ever-loving minds with a gruesome, disturbing little short. Obviously I love it, and you should, too. It’ll make your morning – it’s all about breakfast and everything. *** … More The Cock Doth Crow by S.H. Roddey
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
So along with everything else, I’ve been getting out and about in blog-world this month, which has partially been what’s been holding up posts here. So instead of shoving a separate post for every link I have out there, I decided to take pity on you and give you a run-down in one easy, comprehensive … More SJ’s horror posts around the web
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. I don’t get that thought process – you’re breathing, you’re thinking, you can have ideas. I’ve also never quite got the process of … More Prose: Ideas Abound
Happy Krampusnacht! Now this is a part of December I can get behind. For those who don’t know about Krampus, you’re missing out. He’s coming back into his own, but he’s still fairly unknown throughout a lot of the world. It’s a pity, because tonight’s his night. You see, in the old days Saint Nick … More Prose: Krampus Waits
I’ve been working on a few projects lately, and that always gets me thinking about the process of writing. I love words and how they fit together, the imagery they conjure, the emotions they evoke. Words are magic…sometimes literally, like in this case. This is another little bit from Lost in the Shadows, a little … More Prose: Obsolete Words
So today is a special edition of Clyde’s corner…not only do you get to see what hijinks the bird is getting up to now, but it actually CONTINUES into a very special story over at Kriss Morton’s blog for Fourth Wall Friday! What happens when a wannabe muse channels Olde School magic on Friday the … More Clyde’s Corner: Friday the 13th/4th Wall Friday Mash-up
So while I’m out guest-posting and interviewing it up, here is another little tidbit from my resident (self-appointed) muse. I’m sorry. I’m really, incredibly sorry. For the uninitiated, Clyde is a character in my new book, Olde School. He’s a rather untraditional take on the fairy tale talking animal theme. It seems when Clyde is … More Clyde’s Corner: Popularity Problems
Greetings to all! If you haven’t yet, be sure to check out my Release Party today at Bitten By Books!! I’ll be there throughout the day to hang out and answer questions about Olde School. In celebration, I thought I’d do something a little different. So often, people ask me about the writing process for … More Clyde’s Corner: The Beginning
