Welcome to Fall
The weather in my native North Carolina is finally starting to feel like fall. We routinely have very warm nights in October all the way to Halloween but this year we are already getting low temperatures in the 50’s and 40’s. The leaves are turning and the mountains are even starting to get frost warnings.…

Fanning the Flames
It’s been a long time since I have felt the fire to write. Oh, I’ve made notes and played with the odd scene here and there. But to actually want to sit at the computer and write…it’s been a long time. Two things have helped to reignite that spark. One is a meme I…

Be True 2 You
How many masks do you wear? Are you one person at work? Another person at home? Someone else around your friends? Do you know who the real you is? A friend of mine on Facebook posted a meme today about being true to your authentic self. It struck a chord with me. I’m certainly a…

Practice is not always perfect
I’m job hunting again. This never gets easier. I’ve been researching ways to improve my resume and my employability. My eyes are starting to cross and I’ve given myself a headache. I think it’s time for some fresh air.

REVIEW: Jacked by Kirk Dougal
I’m not sure I can write this without any spoilers but I’ll try. Okay, how to describe Jacked…awesome, well written, fast paced, edge of your seat, unrelenting… Should I keep going? First, the technical stuff. Jacked is the launch of Per Aspera Press, a Ragnarok Publications imprint. If you have read any of my other…

Evolution
Don’t get your panties in a wad. I’m not talking about diverging arguments on the origin of life. I’m talking about how we change as people. Maturity comes with time and experience. Note I didn’t say age. You can be in your 40’s and still act like a 12-year-old. I said maturity, all the changes…

Review: War God Rising
Tim Marquitz has done it again. His work is always interesting and War God Rising does not disappoint. War God Rising is funny. We’re talking Mel Brooks funny. Quick asides, tongue-in-cheek, make you spit your soda out your nose funny. Marquitz writes with a quick easy style that makes you want to keep reading long past…

Talking to myself
Are you guilty of oversharing? Do you post the most intimate details of your life on social media? Are you the person in the grocery store who tells random strangers about your hernia while choosing produce? Most of us have some type of presence on the internet. If you’re reading this then you obviously use…

Party Time
I’ve been celebrating my birthday all week. I’ve slept late, eaten out, had too much ice cream, stayed up late, watched too much television, and made a costume and decorations. My birthday was on Tuesday. The party is today, Saturday, because nobody parties on a Tuesday. It’s a costume party. I love parties. Friends and…
