Ahead in 2013
It’s New Year’s Eve. Every year I retell the story how I don’t make New Year’s Resolutions. I made a resolution years ago to never make another resolution and it’s the only resolution I’ve ever been able to keep. 😉 No, no resolutions for 2013, just things on the agenda. Writing I have quite a few books in the works.…

The Keys of Death
This booklet is ultimately a supplement to the now available Keys of Ocat: A Grimoire of Daemonolatry Nygromancye and nothing more. It was created as a way to get the death tablets out to my readers in the manner I intended for readers to see them — large and in full color. They lose something in the transition to black and…

Greatly Exaggerated
The rumors of my wealth are greatly exaggerated. How about yours? After all, we all know that most writers live in mansions sipping martinis. We spend long vacations in villas in Tuscany. Evidently we have expensive cars and servants, too. (Or is that minions?) 😉 I recently overheard an aspiring author telling folks that the only reason certain writers have…

Best Books of 2012
For those of you who celebrate Christmas – Merry Christmas! Today I’m at my brother’s likely enjoying some delicious food and good company. Luckily I had the sense to schedule this post ahead of time so I didn’t miss this month’s Merry-Go-Round Blog Tour topic! So the title of this post is a bit misleading, but only because my reading list…

Baphometic Rebirth
Wow. This is actually a very sad article I wrote about how writing literally saved my life during a time when I was clinically depressed. I wrote this in the summer of 2004. For my spiritual friends, you probably already know that it was Leviathan who carefully picked up my broken heart and directed me back toward my writing. I almost wasn’t able to post this…

They Can’t Kick You Off The Face of the Earth
This is another unearthed 2004 article I wrote for a Canadian publication for writers. The publication went under before going to print. No point in the article going to waste. It’s wonderful blog fodder. Enjoy! I think every writer has a fear of submission and rejection no matter how many books or articles they’ve sold. Even nowadays, after having sold numerous non-fiction articles, one…

A Little Cleaning
This article was originally written in 2004 for a Canadian writing publication that went under before it went to print. I recently uncovered it while looking through files on my computer. I thought I’d share it here, since it’s kind of fun. UPDATE: Changed Rule #8 to Rule #7. Haha! Looks like a lack of editing. 🙂 It was a cool…

Writers Write
So I was reading an article recently that listed the “signs” to know if one was meant to be a writer. Some of these “signs” included admiring other authors, thinking about writing, being doubtful about one’s ability to be a writer, or being someone who thinks they have good ideas. While I agree all writers do often share these traits,…

Merry Nightmare!
A friend recently mentioned she was trying to buy local as much as possible this holiday season. I kind of felt bad reading that because I’m one of those people who hates shopping. I take the easy way out and do it all online. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the tradition of being able to buy gifts for those…
