Book Review: My Best Friend’s Exorcism
My Best Friend’s Exorcism by Grady Hendrix is a dreadful book. It features a killer cover which won me over at the bookstore. (Note: this review will contain spoilers about one particular plot point. But I honestly don’t know how the main story line is resolved, or what’s up with the possession and its subsequentContinue reading “Book Review: My Best Friend’s Exorcism”
Naughty and out of shape.
[Please scroll down past the asterisks if you wish to skip ahead to my exercising update!] I’ve been writing my series still, and I’m really enjoying it. I know that the traditional way to write a novel is to create conflict, but I prefer to create wish fulfillment. I like to write in a wayContinue reading “Naughty and out of shape.”
Naughty, naughty, naughty.
Hello, everyone! I’ve been working all day on Naughty Isle. First off, I have a new and improved cover. I worked really hard on it. The consensus was that the movie frame was too “busy” (and thanks to all of you who chimed in), so I went with a more solid red look. I likeContinue reading “Naughty, naughty, naughty.”

When life imitates fiction…
This is totally creeping me out. I lay in bed last night and wanted to do some soul-searching about how awful things went on the forum and how it tore me apart. What I realized blew my mind and caused my eyes to pop open under the covers. The whole event seemed to follow theContinue reading “When life imitates fiction…”
I’ve never been happier!
I have some good news to report. Although I haven’t spent much time on my competition forum lately, I’ve been there off and on, and nothing like what happened a few years ago in January has recurred. I think perhaps it was a fluke, and/or now everyone knows how to avoid it. I have moreContinue reading “I’ve never been happier!”
Taste the Rainbow!
I wrote this short story for the competition I’m in. My assignment was to write a comedy involving an apprentice and a strict diet.
