New Trailer for my works!!

Here is a new trailer for my works, shot by none other than my Nephew! We're going to be working on other trailers as well as a reading for my old story 'The Chalice'! In the game of life, no one else decides your course of action except you!!

2018 in retrospect

2018 definitely presented its challenges for me. But, on the positive side, I started the year off by finishing up my fifth novel 'The Goblin Tale part 2', wrote two more short stories and spent the vast majority of the year working on my sixth novel 'Deimos Phobos'. Anytime that I can do that, spend a virtual working on new material, I'd say that was a good year indeed. I also recently began working on new video trailers for my first three published books, and so far have uploaded one to youtube already.
That being said, I'd say 2018 was a very productive year. This year marks almost twenty years that I've made my fullest aspirations a reality. Hopefully, next year will bring even more results in that respect!

Glory to Hera!!

Hera. The name says it all. Majesty, unparalleled beauty, and endless power beyond human capabilities is only a fraction of why I have been drawn to the Queen of the Greek Gods since very early in childhood. To be honest, I first caught glimpse of her reading through a 'Marvel Universe' comic book which is ironic considering that I've never really been a huge comics fan. Everything from the myths surrounding her to the absolute elegance of any of her depictions has kept me beyond mesmerized. And while she sometimes has been viewed as vengeful or malevolent, it makes no difference to me. She has captured my infatuations, and if I'm lucky, she will continue to do so as long as I shall live!

18 years and 6 months!

Alas, it's been 18 years and 6 months since I made the life-altering decision to become a writer. While not one regret passes through my mind in the course of such an action, I do sometimes wonder what direction my life would have taken if I would have made different choices. I need not look any further than the multitude of masses who have no passion for their lives, nor do they any have any direction that isn't dictated by the demands of a superficial world.
In that sense, I'm eternally grateful. A teacher I had years ago stressed the importance of living what he called 'an extraordinary life'. A life that would strive for the absolution of fulfilled potential and test the limits of existence itself. I've traveled over the Atlantic Ocean over seven times, seen the U.S from coast to coast, had haunting and exhilarating experiences, and it doesn't seem like I'm going to slow down any time soon.
I've written novels, novellas, short stories, poems, articles, and the lot. And while the question of what to do with the next 20 or so years of my life still wanders aimlessly in my mind, if I'm able to continue this extraordinary path, I'd say that would be a good direction!  

 

Autumn, once again!

Alas, it's the most wonderful time of the year once again! I do so love the coming of autumn! With its changing of colors and seasons, the world can slightly seem as if all is good, if not just for a little while. Sadly, I haven't made any real plans for Halloween this year, which probably means I'll be watching horror movies and listening to sinister themed music while working on my sixth novel 'Deimos Phobos'. As far as that novel, I recently reached the half-way point and I am extremely pleased with the story's direction. And, I must admit, I have no idea what is to come once I complete it. Truth be told, I really never do.
"Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans"
"Happy Halloween to all!!"

Approaching half-way point of Sixth Novel!!

It's almost been four months to the day that I started my sixth novel, and I'm extremely pleased to say that I'm coming to roughly the half-way mark. This project, among other things in my life, have kept me busy to say the least. That said, I wonder if staying on point with one's aspirations is actually a trait of success. Perhaps one has to engage in over-achieving to get anything done in life, you never can tell. Again, as I have been writing this piece, I am as always overwhelmed that the story itself begins to guide my hand as so many of my works have done in the past. So, with that in mind, I truly have no idea how the rest of the story is actually going to play out.

New Novel one third done!

Working my literary magic as always, I'm very pleased that my new novel 'Deimos Phobos' is roughly a third of the way complete. Like all my other twisted tales, this one is chock full of different twists and turns and has been, for almost the last three months, a complete pleasure to engage in. I can only hope that the progression that I've made lately keeps itself going. So long as the standard that I've set for myself continues and this one is one for the ages, I can honestly say that I'm very pleased!!
