Halloween Town: The Haunted Abbey and The Holler

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. […]

Updates and what nots

It’s fall. It’s the first fall in my new abode and I am adapting. I am watching the first of the leaves fall through my office windows today while one of the cats naps in her bed on my desk. I am waiting on my old van to be done, since I finally am getting […]

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 […]

Love unconditionally

It has always amazed me that the English language only has one word for love, even though there are different degrees of love, so to speak. I love my family. I love my one true love. I love chocolate. I love to write. Yet other languages have many words for love, including Greek. There is […]

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 […]

Continue the story and be alive

I often remind myself that life is not a competition to be won, especially when others seem to remind me they have it better than I do. No one wins at life simply because they have a better paying job than someone else, bought a home first, added another degree to their resume, or simply […]

Be amazed and perplexed

This past Sunday was Pentecost, traditionally considered the birthday of the Christian church. For those who have heard the story countless times, it’s the day the Bible states the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples and they were given the ability to declare the “good news” to those gathered in the area in any language.
