As I begin to write this, the rising sun is shining directly in my eyes, but I refuse to cross the room and move the drapes slightly to the left. Why? Because I live in the Northeast United States and haven’t seen much sunshine since November. It seems a sacrilege to close the drapes and […]
Top Five Read of 2020
As usual, I’m behind in posting a list of my top reads for the past year. I read 17. That’s not a lot compared to what some people I know read, dozens, if not hundreds! Don’t know how they do it, frankly. Maybe they are reading books a lot shorter than the ones I gravitate […]
Top Ten Reads Of 2018
Top 10 Reads of 2018 Managed to squeeze in nearly 30 books for the 2018 reading season. Now, as the year comes to a close, it’s time to whittle those down to my Top 10. It wasn’t easy. I read a lot of great books, some mediocre ones, and frankly, some crap. We’re going to […]
Author Interview – Jason Brant
For me, writing has been a life-long passion. When did you first get the writing bug and what were some of the earliest stories you wrote about? I never even considered writing fiction until I was 30. No shorts or abandoned novels or anything. I was miserable working a government job and I just up […]
Author Interview – Stephen Helmes
For some authors, being a writer was something they felt they were born wanting to do. For others, it was a certain event in their lives that made them want to write. What is your Genesis story? When did the writing bug hit you and what was the first story you wrote”? The writing bug […]

New Release Preview – The Witch’s Backbone
It seems so long ago that I first introduced the people of Barnesville to the world by way of murder. “Secrets of the Scarecrow Moon” (originally titled “Blood of the Scarecrow”) was the first novel that took me away from the erotica I’d been writing prior. It was my first attempt at a murder-mystery and […]
Author Interview – Michelle Garza & Melissa Lason
Welcome to July’s Author Interview. This month we’re in for twice the fun with twin sisters, Michelle Garza and Melissa Lason, also known as The Sisters of Slaughter. Let’s get right to it, shall we? Every writer has a story on how it all began for them. When did each of you first begin to […]

Book Review – The Mysteries of Udolpho by Ann Radcliffe
As a female horror author, I decided last fall it was high time I read what is considered to be one of the first Gothic novels written by a woman, “The Mysteries of Udolpho” by Ann Radcliffe. My first encounter with Gothic literature came at around the age of twelve. I’ve always been big into […]
