I realized between visiting family for the holidays I haven’t been active on this blog much. So I thought I’d share my thoughts on the movie Wicked my wife and I saw on a date night yesterday. To be frank, I walked into the theater ready to hate the movie. This is largely because of…
About: After A Taste (Spoiler Warning)
Now that you’ve read it let me know what you think! You can do that either in the comments on this post or in a review from where you bought the book. I wrote After A Taste in 2020 in an effort to add to the other zombie short stories I had written thus far…
New Short Story Release: After A Taste
I’m pleased to announce the release of a new short story; After A Taste. It is a post-apocalyptic zombie story following the perspective of an old man trailing two young girls.

Challenge Failed, Time For A New One!
Yeah, that crashed and burned almost as soon as I set the challenge. Don’t get me wrong, I wrote a few short stories, sent them out, and had a lot of fun. Then I became quickly distracted with life. Bringing my daughter home from the hospital, raising a first child, struggling with employment, etc. etc….
New Challenge
I’d like to announce a new challenge that I have already started and is designed to help me get back on the writing horse and stay there a little longer. I’m a fan of Dean Wesley Smith’s writing advice. For those unaware of who this is, Dean is an author with hundreds of short stories…
Darkshield: John’s Arc 3: Chapter 10 – Epilogue

Darkshield: John’s Arc 3: Chapter 8
John stared numbly at the spot Nilly had disappeared. The crowd buzzed with whispers and murmurs over what had transpired and a few sobbed in fright. After a few moments John felt the arms and hands slowly release him. “Are you alright John?” He ignored Atim and continued staring at the opening. Dark thoughts entered…
Darkshield: John’s Arc 3: Chapter 9
The pain in John’s head was almost unbearable as he slowly came to. He found himself kneeling in the water with two people holding him upright. It baffled him when he realized his shirt was missing, but when he couldn’t move his hands behind his back he realized where it had gone. Looking around groggily…
Darkshield: John’s Arc 3: Chapter 7
Salem coughed violently into her fist for several moments before gasping for air. She sipped from a water cup by the bedside table and closed her eyes as she forced it down. “You ok?” Cracking an eye open she gave him a small smile. “About the same as I was ten seconds ago when you…
Darkshield: John’s Arc 3: Chapter 6
“John! It is good to see you my friend.” John smiled at the heartfelt greeting from Atim. He was also pleased to see the man had the good sense to avoid giving him a hug or handshake, something he hoped the woman still clinging to his arm would clue into. “And who is this,” there…
