“The beast of the gulch is on the move. It hunts without reason. It kills without eating. Its prey is the sound of a beating heart. Within the shallows of the gulch dwells death.”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Special Effects Chest pain Is a constant A wall between myself and the body There is a chronology that I am separated from as I hover Above the flesh, noncommittal Like a prince who can’t make up his mind You’re falling into the water You’re stumbling…
Creator Journals 10/13/25 I got a haircut today and I don’t hate it. Haircut used to always make me feel weird, but I think I’ve locked down a style that I feel sort of comfortable with. Off day. Took me all afternoon to revise chapter 3. I still feel like it could get better, but…
Creator Journals 10/12/25 I spent most of the day driving around for work. Tomorrow I’m going to sleep and I’m going to sleep so hard. So, what has my literary journey looked like today? Well, I brought the Hellboy Omnibus to work with me and didn’t look at it at all. I thought a lot…
Creator Journals 10/11/25 My actual job made me soooo tired today guys. So many people spoke to me. If people speak to me too much, sometimes I begin to perish. I got chapter 2 revised but I’m not even sure if it’s good. Transitioning from comedy to horror is a sharp shift. I used to…
My new book “The Cause of Death: A Vulture’s Tale” will be releasing October 31st, so I wanted to drop a preview here! Enjoy! Feel free to like, share and comment, thanks! Chapter One: The Girl and Her Guardian Wind whistle. World shriek. Ocean flood and groan. The bow of my humanity is bent before…
Creator Journals 10/9/25 I was off work today, which means I got 8 hours of sleep instead of my usual 5! I wanted to spend the day finishing my very first revision of Beach Knight, but I got tired out and only managed to do like 10 pages. I’m supposed to be dedicating this month…
The plains cry out Sentient in their lack of verb – If you kept me any longer I might Take wing with you– But there is nothing but ice in the sky A solid helmet over the head of the earth– Keep me in your prayers I’ll keep you in eyesight–
Creator Journals 10/7/25 It was cooler today, and the sidewalk was strewn with Fall leaves. I finished chapter 9 today. That means I have one more to write and then a crap-load of revision. I’m still trying to figure out everything I want to change, but it will take quite a bit of work to…
Creator Journals 10/6/25 Monday. The final week of rough drafting. Well, chapter 8 got split in two. There are going to be ten chapters now. I don’t like that. I really felt like this should be a Nine book. I may have to go back and combine chapters 2 and 3. That could work honestly,…
Creator Journals 10/5/25 It’s still October 5th. I haven’t missed it. I’m not too late! It’s a Sunday, so as usual, I didn’t write anything. I rewatched “Train To Busan” which is probably my favorite zombie movie of all time (I go back and forth between this and the classic “Night of the Living Dead”)…
Creator Journals 10/4/25 Had to get a lot of errands and cleaning done today, because my wife and I are going on a weekend trip. For the first time, I might not get the chance to finish my chapter in a day. That’s okay, I think, since I only have two chapters left and October…
