The new cover - any comments appreciated. Still editing, of course, but once the cover is up and running, it seems so much easier to just get on with the job ... So let me know what you think, what the cover says the story is about, and if it's enough to push you … Continue reading What Does the Picture Say to You?
thanks to Senryu for the idea for this post, taken from the shorts anthology (2017): --- The Story was twisted out of all proportion, and now he needs us all to know the truth, so here it is, from his own mouth. --- That young girl, she was cryin', see. Doing all that weepin' and … Continue reading The Truth About RumpledStiltedSkin: A Very Ugly Old Man

What is the meaning behind the words? What's the moral of the story? You know, the theme - what does it all mean? Which theme is in all the stories? Can I answer that? Do I really know? If I don't, apparently it means I won't be able to market myself - An Author is … Continue reading A Theme-y Meaning
In fact, it's hard work, dedication, and a whip might help. What the hell am I talking about? My role is to tell stories, to write, to produce something that will transport the reader somewhere else, or into someone else for a period of time.

But the story will (read: most likely) be published in September. Enjoy! Scene 6 The internet search didn’t produce the results Hella expected. The records in the Titles … Continue reading Scene 6 – The Old Woman & the Mad Horse
WattPad (for the first Act, draft) “I’ll try that,” Hella said. “He did respond to the pinafore I had on last night, and there might be some other clothes here, so I’ll see what I can find — he won’t let me too close, so the brush idea isn’t a good one.” She paused, put a … Continue reading Scene 5 – The Old Woman & the Mad Horse
