Read my Poems Published by Horrific Scribblings Pretty straightforward blog post today. I was fortunate enough for Horrific Scribblings an excellent literary magazine to accept and publish three of my poems recently in one of their issues. All three poems followed the same theme of horrific cultural folklore. The collection was titled: "Stones, Bridges, and Blades: Three Poems of Legend and Lore." You can read all three of them right here…

Lucky enough to get some of my poems published over at Horrific Scribblings. More details in the post below, plus the link. Very honored and most appreciated.

Goals are Roots to a Forest Daily writing prompt How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals? View all responses I'm not a huge fan of questions like this, which is why I decided to answer this specific daily writing prompt. A question like this oversimplifies the complexities of life and all its many forces that are thrown at you. I just don't agree with reducing down a yes or no when it comes to your goals.

I get annoyed by how simplistic we talk about goals versus reality and being human. So I wrote a blog post about how it is okay if things don't work out exactly as you imagine. In the link below:

I Understand Daily writing prompt What was the best compliment you've received? View all responses I felt like this could go a bunch of different directions. There are compliments I've received from friends, readers, editors, lovers, my children, and family through the years. For all of those I am grateful, and certainly not always deserving of them. Some compliments of course mean a ton to me, and I have thought about them often, especially in dark moments that have weighed me down.

This week's Daily Word Prompt was about compliments, and I tried to stay focused, but ended up wandering all over the place with my answer. Anyways, enjoy. In the link below:

Please, God. Please... his mind pleaded.

“I know you’re there. I can hear you breathing.”

David’s screams found their way out of the house and onto the night air, where the coyotes could be heard giggling in the distance.

“Don’t go, Dad.”

“I’m okay, Sheriff,” Jake said.

“But you won’t be,” the boy said evenly.

“It’s me, Randy. I’ll be fine. Ain’t I always?”

“Not this time, Dad. I don’t want you to go. This time it’s real.”

Jim had known the boy who died.

The sky shone brightly that day, and it had been quiet everywhere.

Except for the screaming.

Jim knew Jake was still waitin’ for God to tell him he wasn’t a bad man for what had happened...

“I know you’re there."

“You must travel to the Gévaudan. There, old magic still exists.”

“This was not your fault, Jake. None of it."

The dark figure stopped, then opened the door, and walked out into the crashing thunder.

Here's the new book cover for Silver. Full disclosure: AI was used as a tool to help generate the image - zero story by AI.

We are just poor right now, so AI is a convenient but reluctant tool.

"Problems like you don’t get solved that way,
now do they?"

"What I think, Mr. Mayor, is that we are the only ones here.”

"No, no!"

Between Karma and Monsters Daily writing prompt Are you superstitious? View all responses This is a great question, and it was the most intriguing for me out of all the Daily Writing Prompts for the week. For someone like me, who writes literary horror and often uses monsters as objects of karma or divine justice in certain situations, I think about superstition often. I write in superstition a lot as well, in my settings and plot devices.

I talk about karma, monsters, and using superstitions as plot devices in my response to this daily writing prompt. Hit the link below for the whole post:

Lilly started awake on the couch.

The clock showed 3:30.

The door stood wide open.

She jumped up and was caught in a viselike grip, as if the darkness had come alive.

The wolf had gotten in after all...

Jim thought maybe God had started the moon going around the world with a mighty whack.

Clink!

Metal snapped inside the jail.

The cell door was standing open.

The stranger was gone.

God's quiet voice whispered: Run, Jim. Run.
