Hi all,

Just got the proof copy of “The Hole in the Hill,” which means the book should be out fairly soon! I’m excited; are you?

The cover looks pretty spiffy! Thanks to Filmosity Productions for the design, Joseph M. Arthur Photography for the author photo, and D2 Photography for the cover images.

See, here’s the thing about writing: it’s not always rewarding.

While writing “Men Waiting For Sleep,” I spent the better part of a year and a half not even touching the story. I would read parts of it, re-read, then not even have the slightest idea as to how to proceed. That would lead to frustration, and worse, apathy. I would put the story away, do other things, think about other characters, or, god forbid, think about real life. Who wants that? Certainly not me.

Howdy folks.

Here’s a preview of the cover art for “The Hole in the Hill”, my upcoming collection of horror/macabre short stories.

Due out in April of 2012, though the Kindle version is already available on Amazon!

Yep, you can totally read it before everyone else, too, since the Kindle version is already available! Check it out by clicking here: THE HOLE IN THE HILL KINDLE VERSION.

I’m pretty excited about this collection, since it’s my first foray into publishing any of my horror work. One of the stories, “Reyes Rides the Deville”, was published in the Arcane Anthology, edited by Nathan Shumate. You can check that out by clicking here: ARCANE!

I’m always the first to tell aspiring writers they need to write every day. All the time. Non-stop. Stopping means you lose your edge. Stopping means you’re not honing your skills. I stand by this advice because it’s generally sound, and for any writer looking to make headway into an extremely competitive business, this advice should be written on a piece of paper and pinned to whatever wall happens to be in front of your computer/notepad/bits of charcoal and dried leaves.

Howdy. Just a quick one for the moment.

Howdy.

Nothing about writing today; just an update on my motorcycle project. I started shaping the tank today…it doesn’t look like much yet, but once I get some bondo on this puppy, get it primed and painted, it’s going to look awesome!

Howdy.

Well, I had high hopes for 2012, and so far those hopes have come crashing down all around me.
