October is a very cool month for us horror writers.

It’s the time whenContinue reading “Spooky Season”

That’s what I found myself saying when what I am about to tell you became reality. For real? Seriously?? Stop playing! (I became my teenage self again for like 10 solid minutes!)

As I sometimes do, let’s start with a song: Blast from the past, right? But it absolutely applies to the situation I find myself in. Don’t worry, this is a good thing – let me say that at the start… this is an AWESOME problem to have, but it is definitely a different situation thanContinue reading “Life is what you make it”

Can’t you? The warm weather is almost here! It keeps trying to push through, to give us a glimpse of what we can look forward to and I, for one, am here for it. There’s something about feeling the warm air that just makes me happy. But, as I look out at the sun, thenContinue reading “I can feel it coming in the air…”

Hey folks! How did January 2022 treat you? I’m a big believer in the idea that the way you start the year sets the tone for the next 12 months, so I always try to be hyper focused and get some early wins to make the year a good one. Sometimes it works, sometimes itContinue reading “Starting the Year off Right!”

As this year draws to a close, I find myself getting into conversations with people while shopping in the supermarket or pumping gas the way I used to in the before times. They ask, “How are you?” and I say, “I’m fine, and you?” but there’s something different about this exchange now. Before it wasContinue reading “I’m fine, and you?”

Seriously… BRRRR! The end of October was so mild and November started off pretty mild but now that cold wind cuts to the bone and all I want is to get inside, put on some sweatpants and warm socks, and drink some hot chocolate. LOL! How are you feeling these days? So, let’s see… whatContinue reading “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”
