Welcome.

If you made it this far, you’re probably lost. The left turn at Albuquerque is back that-a-way! But while you’re here, you might as well rest a spell, take your shoes off, and…relax. The spell won’t hurt, and afterwards, you won’t have any more need for shoes. Just look at this happy customer.

“No! Don’t touch that!”

I made it to Chapter Eleven of the first rewrite yesterday. It’s a milestone, as it begins a new book of the novel, the “running from enemies” book. The set-up took ten chapters, and I’m hoping they were worth it to the reader. I tried to make sure there was excitement and intrigue, but as I lack drama in my life, I had to draw from personalities in the news and quite a bit of my own past pain to make it sing. Hopefully, it will resonate with the editors that decide which books to publish. We’ll see. All I can do is my best.

Disclaimer:

This hot mess is my second venture into the realm of Social Media, not counting various pithy and uninformed comments on YouTube. Here you will see the kinds of stories my brain forced upon me, sometimes in the middle of the night when my guard was down. I hope you enjoy them as much as they enjoyed plaguing me.

About Me:

For 19 years I was on the front lines of Banquet service as an assistant manager, dealing with a variety of guests. Then, I was in retail briefly, until a spate of dissatisfaction drove me to resign my commission and dedicate myself to a singular goal: write the Great American Novel. Still pounding away at that, and while using the book as one form of therapy, I hope to use this site as another, and to bring to you the best that I can offer. I don’t guarantee that the stories will be epic, or even good…that didn’t come out right…but at least they will be…palatable. Taken with a grain of salt and a little paprika. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes until cheese bubbles.

The Mission:

To explore new worlds and new civilizations…to boldly go where no writer has gone before!

You ever watch a movie and look at the background extras and wonder what their stories are, or where they are going, and what their lives are like? No? Never? It’s just me, then? You would rather watch the main characters get through their story without the distraction of a million other stories that have nothing to do with the main plot?

  • Afterwards
    I woke up flat on my back staring at a slew of blue swirlie-cues, which turned out to be the ceiling. After that revelation sank in, I took a look around before doing anything else. Nope. It wasn’t all just a freakish nightmare. The weird furniture was still there, as well as the high-tech mushroom,Continue reading “Afterwards”
  • The End
    “Aha!” I burst into the console room, yelling to grab the dinosaur’s attention. He turned away from the console in surprise, immediately leveling his pistol at me, and I voluntarily stopped dead in my tracks. My plan had worked a little too well. “How did you -?” he spluttered before shaking his head violently andContinue reading “The End”
  • Escapade
    I couldn’t do anything, of course, until I escaped from that closet. I tried the door, but the knob wouldn’t turn. “Locked?” I couldn’t believe it. “Really? Who locks a closet? Who even has a lock on their closet?” I turned my back on the offending door and my eyes toward the ceiling to addressContinue reading “Escapade”
  • Awareness
    What is the moment when we first become self-aware? When we realize that we are individuals with our own thoughts and feelings? Where do our memories even begin? My first memory was when I was four or five, watching Star Trek and waiting for my brother to come home from school. At least, that’s whatContinue reading “Awareness”
  • No
    It took a long time to digest what I had just done. It was weird enough that I had somehow found myself inside some sort of time-traveling craft, but in going back to thwart an event that had prevented the human race from ever existing, I had inadvertently caused the very extinction I had goneContinue reading “No”
