Dead and Proud of It



     A work that has been long in the making, this is a project that's finally achieved flight. If you're interested in taking a peek, the Kindle version is up right now with the paperback to follow in a few days.
     The cover is by the same couple that do all my covers, and I really enjoy what they pulled up for me this time! If interested in the book the link is the image, but as of the day of this posting the book is only on Kindle.

Site Updates

Going to do an overhaul on the site in the next few days where I make sure related stories are linked, old links to off-site stories still work, and that the links I provide are still up and running. I'm still working on "The Father of Flesh", the first of a five-novel series, as well as "Pride", the first of a three-novel series. Taking a break from them for the rest of June to prepare July's book, "Dead and Proud of It!"

My first step into the vampire's of my imaginary world, where they are known about by the general public. There are vampires, and then there are Fangs. Vampires are the tame and docile versions, not much stronger or durable than a human. They go to blood banks and eat raw beef and pork fresh from the animal.

Keeps them tame.

But Fangs are vampires that feed on humans (or other supernatural entities), tripling their strength and speed and making them nearly bulletproof. They consume humans whole, leaving only a scant few bones, their bodies crushing the meat down and incorporating it into their own body for use. Nothing goes to waste.

This makes Fangs most unwelcome in any civilized areas, and special squads of SWAT teams are designated to taking down Fangs when one pops up on the radar.

Keep in mind this the same world as POride, the Father of Flesh, and Ivan and the Hunt. I've made this alternate universe where human history occurred with the supernatural already accounted for. I think it makes for some good reading, and I certainly enjoy writing it!

London Horror Society

     I just had the pleasure of writing a piece for the London Horror Society, entitled "Splinter: A Lesson in Originality." It's free to read so feel free to stop by the website and see what I've written, and peruse the other movie reviews to see what other members of the horror community think.

Splinter, 2008

Three Little Piggies Part One

Alice screamed as the unknown assailant threw himself bodily against the front door, the hinges rattling from the great weight. Cackling from the other side, cold metal slashed against the oak door, a hollow grating noise echoing throughout the house.

Prison of the Soul Chapter Two

Scott coughed, hacking up frigid slush that was both salt water and half-digested coffee mixed with bile. Crawling on the beach, sand sticking to his soaking wet clothes, he made his way out of the tide with a woozy head and a blank mind. Looking up, he saw that the beach was dryer the further it got from the ocean, and was littered with large pieces of wood. Shivering in the cold wind and light drizzle still falling over him, Scott fought up to his feet. His arms felt like they were full of lead, numb and heavy. His legs weren’t any better, leaving him to stumble forward towards the closest bit of timber, a tree that had been knocked out and somehow ended up on the beach.

Mei and the Monastery of the Crow Chapter Three

The descent into the dungeon was slow going, as the cart had to be pushed onto an elevator, which shook unsteadily. Groaning beneath the weight of the cart, Blue-eyes walked over and stood by the crank used to lower the elevator.

Mei and the Monastery of the Crow, Chapter Two

The kitchens were warm, lit by a central fire where several large caldrons hung over the dancing flames. Madam Wu, an aging Chinese woman who’d once been a proud warrior before suffering a crippling injury to her back, tended to the caldrons with a long handled spoon. Her sun-weathered face turned to regard Mei, eyes warm as she smiled.

The Horror of Health

     Well, I'm almost thirty-one now and my doctors have been telling me to get into shape. It's a little sad how far I've gone down hill but I am taking control of my diet and beginning an exercise regimen that my leg will allow. Mainly a slow walk around the neighborhood is the goal, but since my legs nerve still feels like I'm getting electrified every few moments, I'll settle for a slow walk around my condominiums.
     As for diet, I've begun eating oatmeal in the morning with my coffee, sans sugar. I use an Agave honey substitute that acts as a sweetener and is a natural sugar, so easier on the body. No milk in the oatmeal, nor butter. I'll be adding fruit once I get some. I'll be getting low-sodium V8's and drinking one of those a day while also cooking meals primarily made of vegetables.
     The only meat I plan on using is chicken, which I'll bake before cutting up to add to the meals. I make stir fry (water, no oil) with carrots, tofu, broccoli, diced onion, and asparagus. It sounds disgusting, but it's pretty good.
      My main vice is my addiction to soda, which I'll begin weaning myself from until my birthday. As a present to myself, I'm hoping I can give them up permanently. I'm going to go back to herbal teas and coffee, with a few glasses of water a day.
     I hope to drop a significant amount of weight by my birthday. If I can do that, I'll hopefully be able to have my medication work on me in a more effective fashion.
     Now, as this is a horror site I'll leave you with a horror movie trailer chock full of suspense.

Sweet Dreams...
