Home Burial: Keeping Secrets and Sharing Misery

September 1st, 2010 § 0

I recently submitted my first finished horror piece to Short Story America. Let’s see how it goes. Wish me luck, pretty please. If I could publish some or all of the story here, I would. But, unfortunately I need to keep it completely unpublished for now.

Doesn’t matter. Let me tell you about how Home Burial came to be.

1st Draft for my homepage banner. Thoughts?

Hey everybody. Sorry for the lapse in posts. But, ugh, so much has happened in just two or three weeks that both my mind and my body (literally) have been trying to process the changes. Please read, though, because these changes are fucking awesome… well some of them are.

Let’s get the annoying news out of the way…  » Read the rest of this entry «

Excerpts from the Expanded E-Book

June 24th, 2010 § 1

Hello friends!

So I wanted to take a break from writing essays about feminism and sex and slut theories to talk about what’s going on my side of the computer… with a focus on my e-book in particular.

I do have an e-book available for purchase, and it’s only a dollar! Not bad, eh? Well, currently I’ve finished an expanded version, adding about 20 new short stories (:-0) I know! I’m through the second draft of about 20 or so of them and I just have about 10 more to revise! I don’t know if that seems like more than I make it out to be or what, but I’m not writing anymore and I’ve moved on to a whole new process… one that’s a step closer to getting that sucker published!

And yes it will be published. But I do want to keep a multimedia version available online for purchase. It will include some new photographs I’ve taken, one of which I’ve included up below! Hope you enjoy ;)

I also hope you enjoy this excerpt from one of the completed drafts. This chapter took the original idea from my sporfucking Post nd expanded to a few thousand words. It’s nothing like the original post! Rewriting these pieces are cathartic because I begin to remember details that I can now talk about and imagine… hmmm…  I really like the result, but I won’t give you too much of it now! I need to keep my stories slightly elusive! Here’s a taste of it for now. » Read the rest of this entry «
