There's been a LOT going on since I last posted. I've been too busy writing stories and books to do a blog post, but I promise to try and ... who am I kidding. If the guys wanna talk, I'll listen to them -- that's who you want to hear from anyway, right? So let's [...]

There's been a tale rattling around in my head for a while now, ever since I penned Twisted Penny, a short story for the OAMC anthology. George Bell, aka Twisted, has been all up in my face, demanding he get more page time, so what else could I do? I'm giving it to him. Set deep [...]
I've been playing with an idea about the early days of Mica, how she came to be embraced by the club, and what kind of encounters she might have had. It's from her point of view, but kinda not, since we know all the players. Some of the guys are talking, and I kinda like [...]
I have procrastination on the brain. I 'know' what I need to do. I planned to do it today. But then I got stuck in the morass that is social media. And people. All the people. I've too many open projects, and if you are one of those /looks at AJ Downey/ who can balance [...]

Library - a place where inked dreams are set free, fears will be conquered, and the blinders of narrow-mindedness can be torn away. I grew up in a library. Not literally, of course, but according to some of my earliest memories, the quiet and smell of the Upshur County library in Gilmer, Texas, were part of [...]
I've come to a decision. A resolution, if you will. It's that time of year, after all. I will no longer read any story that simply fits tab A into slot B as part of a purely mechanical process. Because that seems to be what a lot of stories do ... there are damn few [...]
It's that time of year. You know how it is, food comas demand reflection on life choices when one year is winding down and another drawing first breath. This year has been filled with a lot of change, and a lot of sameness. We've seen four Rebel books hit the shelves, encountered one another at [...]
