    The Sundered Sarcophagus – Part 2

    Last night was a rough night at the keys.  Most of my time sitting before them was spent on every single pursuit I could find that wasn’t writing. It’s often like that on the long and lonely evenings when there…

    In A Flash – Part 3

    It’s been a heck of a roller coaster this year.   No ups without attendant downs, no progress without another unyielding monolith of impediment directly in front of the last one that took so long to get around.  Sometimes life is…

    In A Flash – Part 2

    Nothing helpful or useful will be typed here today due to nonsense. In A Flash – Part 2 Merryl leapt backwards as the jagged after-flash of a plasmic bolt sliced through the air millimeters from the fingers she had been…

    In a Flash – Part 1

    Hey everyone! It’s been difficult for me to write a new story post for some time now.  Ever since the end of the short story contest (and even towards the end of the editing push), I’ve felt drained.  I had…

    Down and Out – Part 1

    My newest story is stretching all sorts of mental muscles. YA is not my cup of tea.  The stakes are… dissimilar to my regular offerings.  To be perfectly frank: I need to be more awake and dedicated to crafting a…

    The Reign is Over – Part 19

    I had fully intended for this to be the final entry for The Reign is Over. Like all good stories however, this one refuses to go down without a fight. So here we are.  The finale will likely be two…

    The Reign is Over – Part 18

    The Reign is Over is coming to a close. The story is almost upon its natural conclusion.  Most of the re-write is focused on the lead up to the assault.  More layers of intrigue throughout, perhaps a few passes for…

    The Reign is Over – Part 17

    I honestly didn’t think I would find the strength to keep writing this story. There was a dead-space period where I couldn’t muster the effort because I thought I was posting for myself.  Then I found out that the co-worker…
