Passing the Baton

Dawn had passed the baton to me for Marla’s Pass the Baton Story Challenge for June https://marladragon.wordpress.com/2023/06/01/10032/and since I am always up for a writing challenge…. I accepted. For those unfamiliar with this, every author here has written another portion of the story. Rules and such can be found here: This is how it started, […]

Keeper of Stories

I haven’t written about one of my novellas in a bit. In fact, it was way back in February that I wrote the blog post about Child of the Sage, when I offered that one for free (HEY-if you downloaded it, read it – I could use some more reviews!). And since I am at […]

Dance of Light

Story time! Many who follow this blog know I write tales of portal fantasies, which I have published in e-book and paperback format and can be found HERE. But every so often, I also write little stories for fun and to expand my own writing ability. This was one of them, which was inspired by […]

It’s Christmas Time in the City (part two)

Like my Halloween Town (which has a series of blog post short stories written about it), I also have a Christmas village, created from a plethora of mismatched pieces I have collected over the years. It too resides on the bookcase upon which Halloween Town makes its appearance, usually being set up the weekend after […]

Sample from my #NaNoWriMo

So some of you are aware that I am participating in National Novel Writing Month again this year. I am working on an urban fantasy story currently called The Magician, though that name is just a placeholder at the moment. I can’t come up with a better name yet. (edit here in June 2023 – […]

Halloween Town: Humphrey’s Cousins

Last year, I posted a popular series of blog posts on my little Halloween Town village that I created out of a mismatch of several ceramic and plastic houses, lights, figurines, and even some hand made oven-dry polymer clay creations. Every year, I put it out, adding bits and pieces to it as I find […]

Anthologies Now Available!

For those of my readers that have been paying attention, I had released 12 different novellas in my Portals Series as Kindle editions over the last year. Because of their size (as each was only between 50 and 90 pages long), it was not economically feasible to release them as paperback copies. Being mindful of […]

Newest Novella Released!

I am pleased to announce that the 14th work in my Portals Series has been released. This, along with Common-Born, are the two novellas that are most near and dear to my heart in the series. If you want to know why, then maybe you should read them! Note: This is the first novella offered […]

I’ve been published…. again!!

I follow a number of blogs on Word Press…. many of them written by people who follow me. So it’s a mutual kind of relationship. Back in March, one of the bloggers I follow, illustrator Andrea Benko, posted an idea she had. She wanted to create a book of her illustrations. Since writing wasn’t her […]
