The Lost Librarian’s Grave: Gargoyle Cover
The sense that I’m getting is the gargoyle cover is the most popular of the original three both from the comments I’ve seen on this blog and from running them by people I know, who don’t read the blog. So I did some tweaks over the weekend on the gargoyle covers and this is what…

“The Lost Librarian’s Grave” Horror Anthology
I have been setting the wheels in motion toward starting a small press where I publish speculative fiction in e-book and possibly print formats. The first effort will be a short story anthology with the unlikely title of The Lost Librarian’s Grave. The collection will feature stories of “doom, sorcery and premature burial,” which are…

Scary Snippets Christmas Edition Released
I’ve had a bounce in my step for awhile now what with getting some of my very short fiction out there in the world.

Gabby Novel: Night
I finished the next section of my novel, Gabby the Bug-Eyed Monster. The title of this section is Night.

The novel so far is located here. As the title suggests, I went back and did a little preface. I figure that since I’m sharing a story…

Novel-in-Progress: Gabby the Bug Eyed Monster
So my writing efforts continue unchecked at least for the moment. I have some stuff making the rounds with various editors, and was trying to decide what to do next. So I decided upon a little experiment. I’ve written a few longer stories from outlines with lots and lots of plotting, but I’ve never attempted…
