I am amazing at procrastinating. I know most people would consider writing my daily blog the night before the opposite of procrastinating. The kicker is that it’s supposed to be a daily exercise. Now granted, I give myself one day off a week, but I’m also digressing to make a point. I don’t want to proofread. […]
Today’s scene comes from Hunted Down, Part Five of the Uncommon Animals series: “Hey man, get up. Let’s go for a run.” Rick’s boisterous voice bounced around Matty’s bedroom. The white cinder block walls silenced the outside world, but anything inside them was magnified. Matty rolled over and buried his face in his thin […]
And I can actually say that for once. My insomnia has finally passed. Twelve hours of sleep later, I feel chipper. Seriously. And some good news! Amazon now has a pre-order option for indie publishers! So TA-DA! You can pre-order Succubus! The Steel City has never been colder for Rick and Mina. On the […]
Yeah, I’m still staying up until 4 or 5. Last night I really thought I’d be asleep by 10, but no such luck. At the kids like having mom catnap on the couch in the morning. They are quiet they can get an extra 30 minutes of video games. On the writing front, I’m still […]

Today Robin Williams past away and it’s been so surreal, it felt like it came out of nowhere… A text message from a friend made me aware of the news and frantically I jumped online to see if it was true. Sadly, I found out it…
This is my writing blog and I try to keep it about writing. Every now and then something bigger pops and I want to get my feels out. Yesterday, Robin Williams died. You know this, but typing it out… well words are my medium these days. Typing it out makes it real. Typing it out […]
It’s blurry, I know, but my short story, Hunting, hit #22 on the Kindle Short Reads list yesterday. So I’m pretty stoked about that. Still looking at different ways to market and get the word out, because the weeks between now and publishing the first Monsters of Pittsburgh story are pretty long. Anything can […]
So last night, 10 PM, I’m curled up on the couch, eyes closed, cat snuggled, and then boom, my brain snapped into alertness and I was up and going. I have no idea what is wrong with my head, but it appears to not be stopping for awhile. This happens and I just have to […]
Yes, it is Friday and that means you can grab the third Uncommon Animals story: In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Mina’s already in a bad mood. Then a stranger shows up at Sam Whitestone’s house. He’s dirty, belligerent, and full of surprises. But he also reminds Mina that she’s not on the run anymore. Can she bring […]
