Anxious?! Prompt Answer…
What makes you most anxious? I struggle with severe PTSD from my time at war, and many things make me anxious at times. Sometimes, it’s Middle Eastern music, other times it’s a scarred face or nightmares. There are many triggers, and I do my best to avoid them. Let’s face it, being anxious is no… Continue reading

Clubber…A Thermopolis Konan and Dr. Katlyn Prescott Mystery…The beginning…unedited…
The screams of Tara A. Nikita echoed off the walls of the abandoned workshop that housed her. “No one can hear you,” a masked figure said to her. “You’re all alone here. Well, except for me of course.” “Who are you? Why do this to me?” Tara sobbed, frantically trying to get out of the… Continue reading

Prompt Answer for St. Paddy’s Day…
What activities do you lose yourself in? I tend to lose myself in writing, reading, and the great outdoors. My love of writing goes back to my adolescent days, as does reading. I spent many days within the dusty, ole library thumbing through various Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew novels. In hindsight, I suppose reading… Continue reading

The next part of Goldilocks and the TTB…unedited…
The heavy stomp of muddy boots sounded on the wooden plank sidewalk outside of the General Store, and Goldilocks peeked out the window from the second floor. Abel Grimley and two others stood outside the door. One of the men, the tallest of the trio, shoved the door in and it banged off a barrel… Continue reading

Burn…an old short story gets rewritten…
Red trails of light glinted in the surface of the puddles of water outside of the bus terminal. Normally, tires whined on the dry pavement, but on this dreary day they made a sloosh sound. I sat on a damp bench underneath an overhang and paid little attention to the hum of life that went on… Continue reading

Then, we made our way toward home, making intermittent stops along the way. Last night, I rewrote and… Continue reading

Prompt Answer…
What is the last thing you learned? Man, this thing doesn’t ask the easy questions, does it? Once again, I will assume its referencing writing. I’ve learned the importance of rewriting recently. For instance, my current project is Rhianna’s Tearful Chalice. I’m only ten pages into the rewrite, but the scenes seem much fuller, more… Continue reading

Good morning…
Howdy. I’m sitting at my kitchen table and sipping on my first cup of coffee. My wife, Chassidy and I have walked Casanova and Chunk this morning. Both dogs play underneath my feet as I write this. Play is the wrong word. Act out rambunctiously is a more apt description. Chunk’s bigger than Casanova, so… Continue reading

Grape Cry…unedited…
I cut grapes for the daycare today. The rounded red-wine fruit seemed squishy in my monstrous fingers. “Cut them longways,” Chassidy says from behind me, hard at work on slicing strawberries into quarters. “We had someone cut them wrong once.” I didn’t even know you could cut grapes wrong. A small cry sounded when I… Continue reading

Daily Prompt Answer:
Who are your favorite people to be around? I happen to enjoy being around people who are smart, intelligent, and witty. As such, I like people who don’t take themselves to seriously. Also, I like people who can return my sarcasm with some of their own. I can’t be friends with humorless folks. I’m usually… Continue reading
