A Quick Tip for Inspiration
Only a few minute to write today before the next thing on my To Do List must be done. Thought I would share a tip that really can spur the imagination and get the words flowing. If you are staring at a blank page, and really have no clue what to write, go to one … Continue reading →
Let’s Have a Toast!
(My allergies were bad last night, so I am going to share something Bruce wrote for Roxanne instead of getting too creative. This was the toast he gave at their wedding…) Bruce’s Wedding Toast to Roxanne Flowers are pink. Flowers are green, Your eyes are the prettiest I’ve ever seen. You stand by my side … Continue reading →
That IS Horrific!
I just looked at the last post, and it was a guest post from September! I severely neglected everything for the final quarter of 2020, but I am back to work on all fronts and hopefully will be keeping up better now that the dumpster fire is on its way out. That being said, I … Continue reading →

I reached out to Kerry Lipp, whose writing style and sense of humor I admired, and asked if he wanted to write a story with me. Neither of us had ever done … Continue reading →
Horror Doesn’t Have to Be Horrific
Horror ranges from the silliness of Scooby-Doo to the terror of The Ring. But some of the most interesting and insidious horror comes when an everyday object becomes unexpectedly evil. Look at Cujo. The book, and subsequent movie, are visceral and terrifying–and yet, they are about a rabid dog, not some demonic creature. Any dog … Continue reading →
RieView: What We Do in the Shadows
Having had a chance now to watch both the original movie and both seasons of What We Do in the Shadows, I am well and truly smitten. The mockumentary genre can be very hit or miss. Sometimes, it works; sometimes, it doesn’t. I would say, in this case, it is about 90% spot on. There … Continue reading →
Let’s Talk About Monsters…
Monsters. The mainstay of horror, aren’t they? Vampires, werewolves, mummies–these are the creatures that everyone turns to when they hear the word “monster.” Perhaps that should be qualified–these are the stereotypical creatures that American readers/writers turn to automatically. And that’s why they inundate the pages of books and the frames of films we are … Continue reading →
Finding a Home for Horror
Horror is a lot of fun to write, but not always easy to find a home for. However, there are several small presses that feature the genre, and I thought I would highlight some of them for potential contributors. The houses below are all publishers that I have worked with personally and would definitely submit … Continue reading →
