Author Interview: Josh Matthews #hellgate #horror
What genre(s) do you write and why? I’ve written mostly in horror because it gives me the freedom to do what I want. When you write in other genres, such as crime or mysteries, you have to adhere to certain rules and conventions. With horror there are no limitations. My favorite part is creating unique monsters and settings, allowing me…

Being Fearless and The Masks We Wear #befearless #writing #identity
I’ve been contemplating my #domagick post last month where I talked about being fearless and writing without fear. Intrepid writing I called it. Not only have I been actively working toward writing without fear, but it’s made me aware of just how much fear the average person carries, especially in this age of social media. Many people wear carefully crafted masks to…

Guest Post: Brian G. Murray #chroniclesofdeath #fantasy
AUTHOR INTERVIEW What is your favorite thing about being a writer? My favorite thing about writing is the creativity. I very much enjoy creating new world, new characters and plots.

When Magick Doesn’t Work #magick #Daemonolatry
Sometimes, despite our best efforts and intentions, magick doesn’t work in a situation. Especially situations where you’re influencing other people. Even seasoned magicians have this problem at times (though most likely won’t admit it). I’ve learned over the years how to tell if the magick I’m considering is going to work or not, and I pick and choose my magickal battles…

Review: Writers of the Future #33 #bookreview
I am a bit biased. I have friends whose work appears in this anthology. However, if I didn’t like it, I would have simply not reviewed it at all. The Writers of the Future anthologies always have a wide variety of stories by talented new voices in the fantasy and sci-fi genres. This one is no exception. Wonderful authors, great stories.…

Consistency & Stability #magick #adulting101 #amwriting
As with all things in life, consistency is one of the main ingredients to success. You have to show up, do the work, and do it with consistency. Far too often I meet magicians who want a quick fix (usually magickal success in any endeavor), or skills, or even a following or readership (for the occult authors out there) with none…

Guest Post: T.M Lakomy #darkfantasy
INTERVIEW WITH T. M. LAKOMY What was the most difficult part of writing your most recent book? Leaving it at the current ending, I wanted to continue with the character’s journey but I knew that was the perfect place to end. In a way, I wanted the reader to know what lay beyond the final chapter as it is a…

When Inspiration Strikes #thirteencovens #writing #passion #LizTanner
Please note: This post may contain SPOILERS. Last night I spent two hours in ritual and meditation and when I finally decided to close it up, I was pumped. The full ramifications of The Great Work I’ve been doing for the past 10 years (and the more recent work) fully dawned on me, and along with that, the realization of…
