This is a story about my Halloween Town. I used to put a description of the origins of my villages on every post about my villages, but since I have a whole created page about the Village Stories I have written, check it out there if you have no idea what my Halloween Town is. […]

Short stories that I post on my blog
The Story of Drachon and Alesar
Little background – this was probably one of my first stories that I let others widely read. My brother once called it a Lord of the Rings knock off. I will have to admit J. R. R. Tolkien is one of my inspirations, so perhaps I did borrow heavily from his ideas, but this was […]
Coming Home
This was my foray into writing a cute little predictable romance story (a la Hallmark Channel, which I don’t watch much) and this story is kind of long…. but it was a fun write. As I stated in the disclaimer above, I originally posted this on a blog called Short Stories…. but want all of […]
The Twin Stones
I should begin with a little background on this long but wonderful little story. Years ago, I played the MMORPG World of Warcraft. The following was very much inspired by the lore behind that video game, but even if you don’t know anything about WoW, you should be able to read this. As I stated […]
Train – Sample Chapter of The Trickster
If you’ve read my blog, you know I have a serial novel The Magician…. or perhaps you don’t. Anyway, in one week it will release as a paperback novel over on the Zon. But you can also sit and read it here on the blog, or listen to a few chapters as audio files read […]
Chicago
Having a family history that spans pretty much one state (I’m looking at you, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania!) and the Eastern Seaboard, I never really thought much about the city of Chicago. I read about it for my history classes. I learned facts that seemed to go in one ear and then out the other about […]
Following in my great-great-grandfather’s footsteps
I mentioned in a previous blog post about how I was working on a sequel to my serial novel, The Magician (which if you haven’t read it, you should.) I also mentioned that I was using the city of Philadelphia as the inspiration for this sequel, creating the fictional urban city of Lefteria. In doing […]
Family history becomes stories
If you follow my blog or any of my social media stuff, you’ll note that this past Saturday, I posted the final chapter of the serial novel I had been working on since November of 2022. The Magician is a twenty-five chapter urban fantasy serialization about an enslaved magician named Ignace Godding and a spirited […]
Postlude (The Magician – The Final Chapter)

Postlude The gilded opera house was once again filled with spectators, buzzing with excitement and anticipation. The […]
Reconciliation (The Magician – Chapter Twenty-Four)
This is the twentieth-fourth chapter of the serialization novel I am working on, The Magician – < click here to read the other chapters if you missed them or have no idea what this story is about. Reconciliation Vanessa collapsed on the sidewalk, utterly spent from the tremendous amount of magic she had just exerted. […]
