    The Chilling Effect

    February 28, 2012 / 2 Comments

    As many of you know I’m currently writing on my new bdsm themed novel called Switched. My mind started traveling ahead in the story when, ::gasp:: I realized that several scenes from where I’m currently at – there is a rape scene. And no, it’s not rape for titillation. It’s actually more of an unfortunate plot point (and it’s sad and meant…

    Are you there Daemon? It’s me, Magus.

    February 27, 2012 / 2 Comments

    Recently I’ve been thinking a lot how some Daemonolaters go through ritual after ritual in some attempt to find and connect with their Patron/Matron (aka Guardian Daemon, Mentor etc…). I am often asked the question, “How do I connect to the Daemonic divine?”  I always answer the same. “You have to work with the Daemons.”  Sometimes this can be achieved through extended rituals such as…

    My Websites & Paypal

    February 26, 2012 / 2 Comments

    As of today I have removed Paypal from my webstore here because I cannot, in good conscience, continue to support a credit card processing company that is causing the ban of some of my books through Smashwords and ARE. I would be hypocrite to cry foul and then continue to support them by using them to process transactions on my…

    Humans Are Sexual Creatures

    February 25, 2012 / 3 Comments

    It’s true. Humans are sexual creatures. From the time we hit puberty we’re on a mission (albeit sometimes subconsciously) to find sexual partners. It’s natural and instinctive and wired into our DNA.  Humans  aren’t the only animals who have sex for pleasure, we’re just the only ones intelligent enough to express our feelings about it, talk about it and devise methods…

    Procrastin…. Squirrel!

    February 25, 2012 / No Comments

    Many years ago I heard someone say that procrastination is not the cause, but rather the symptom of something else. I tend to agree. Think about it – when you’ve procrastinated there was probably something more pressing requiring your attention. Or perhaps some truth you were trying to avoid. Let me explain. I’m one of those folks who, if I’m…

    More Tales From the Writing Life

    February 23, 2012 / 5 Comments

    So earlier this evening I was watching that Siri commercial and thinking, I really need to get my phone to remind me to call the vet to set up the appointment to have the cats shaved. Looks like I really do need that personal assistant after all – even if it is my phone. Now granted my phone doesn’t talk…

    Sneak Peek: Into Darkness

    February 16, 2012 / 9 Comments

    Chapter One Saturday, June 24          The beginning was the end. Of all the stupid things I could have thought at the end of my life, that was it. I felt the clay Lucifuge amulet I wore press hard against my left breast, reminding me that it was because of those damn amulets I was in this mess to begin…

    The Sky is Falling! The Sky is Falling!

    February 7, 2012 / No Comments

    Publishing news is full of doom and gloom as of late. Ever since 2011 and numerous reports of independent (of a publisher) author success, I see a new article every week about why indie authors are ultimately going to fail and why ePublishing is evil and destroying the publishing business. There was a Greek philosopher who once said something akin to…

    The 2012 Garden

    February 5, 2012 / No Comments

    Hopefully my 2012 garden fairs better than my 2011 garden did. From Seed: Belladonna (this year aero start) Nightshade (this year aero start) Calamus (this year aero start) Lemon Balm (this year aero start) Mandrake (smaller pots + grow lamp) Tomatoes (aero start) Beans Peas Peppers (aero start) Cukes (possible aero start) Beets From Roots, Cuttings and Starts Mandrake (already started) Potatoes (try, try again)…

    The Mandrake Files – Take Two

    February 4, 2012 / 5 Comments

    Last year’s mandrake seed experiment was a bit of a flop. I suspect it had something to do with light and soil temp.  Mandrake is a tough germinator. I shouldn’t have put them in such a big pot. I should have put them in 3 inch pots (1 seed per pot) and put them directly beneath a grow light. This…
