This is the reason why I stay away from bookstores. I can’t help buying something. I went to B&N last week to kill some time and see if Naruto vol. 52 (manga) had been released yet (it hadn’t). I was browsing the new fantasy books when I came across The Year’s Best Dark Fantasy &…
Check this out! I’m curious how it’ll work once it’s up and running. It sounds spectacular.
Whenever I read or watch fantasy, I’m always impressed with the names; whether it’s a character, a race of creatures or a place. I always wonder how the writer came up with such great and creative names that fit so perfectly into each story. As I said in my previous post, Characters, Powers and Too…
As I said in Novel Planning, I’d no desire to turn any story into a series but then I thought about it. A series is perfect because my characters in three different drafts, Feast, Isolated, and Nothing, are of the same race and the stories all have the same themes. I didn’t even do it…

I’m terrified of losing a copy of any one of my stories so, along with saving them on my computer, an external hard drive and a SD card, I save them on a flash drive and carry that around with me. I try not the use the flash drive often but I’d saved a class…
As both a Harry Potter and horror movie fan, I had to share this. I learned about this movie through MuggleNet. “A young lawyer travels to a remote village to organize a recently deceased client’s papers, where he discovers the ghost of a scorned woman set on vengeance” (IMDb) This is exactly the type of…
It’s sad all Borders are closing but they’re having some awesome sales. I was near NY Penn Station a couple of days ago running an errand. As it happens, a large Borders is a couple of steps away from the station. Even from across the street, I saw the yellow sign in the window announcing…
Here’s an excerpt of a short story I wrote. Enjoy! Michael held the green piece of paper to the light then put it so close to his face it touched his nose. For awhile, the only sound was his bare feet padding across the wood floor. It didn’t seem he’d answer me anytime soon so…
