• “…’It’s such a pitiful waste, keeping you here,’ Tenenshe’ean sighed. ‘Or killing you, for that matter. My offer still stands, Auferrix. It’s not too late.

  • Morning Glory.

    My mornings are sacred. There used to be a time (we’ll call it “college”) where I considered myself a night owl. Classes were carefully chosen to start much later in the morning, if not in the afternoon, and I was a closer at my job, sometimes not getting home until two in the morning. And…

  • Flash Fiction Friday

    Well, my friends, it’s Friday, so we’re going to take a moment, a break from the tedium of editing, to do a little blurb of Flash Fiction. It’s going to be a relatively short and sweet post today, as my brain is all a flurry with formatting and what have you, as well as my…

  • Writer Quotes: Crisp.

    “There are three reasons for becoming a writer. The first is that you need the money; the second, that you have something to say that you think the world should know; and the third is that you can’t think what to do with the long winter evenings.” -Quintin Crisp Reminding me a little bit of…

  • “The thrum of the Harley’s engine seemed to have settled deep in her bones, a physical counterpoint to the butterflies in her stomach–and, of course, the worst of it seemed emanate from her extremely sore and overheated ass.” “Resident Evil 3: City of the Dead” by S.D. Perry Once again, I’ve marked another Resident Evil…

  • “Any man who keeps working is not a failure. He may not be a great writer, but if he applies the old-fashioned virtues of hard, constant labor, he’ll eventually make some kind of career for himself as writer.” -Ray Bradbury. The realization that I haven’t done a Writer Quote post in a long time struck…
