Creator Journals 5/2/25

In tarot, the sun card represents good fortune, energy, and unification. I’ve had a lot more energy to be proactive with my writing lately. Over the last two years I was dealing with some things that kept me physically drained. I have the power to market a little bit now, but I’m trying not toContinue reading “Creator Journals 5/2/25”

Creator Journals 4/29/25

I promised myself I’d finish editing my book “Hounds of Ruin” by the end of May and release it May 9th. This one has been in the oven for quite a while. I have a distinct memory of writing out the outline during downtime at my job in October of 2023. That might not seemContinue reading “Creator Journals 4/29/25”

Creator Journals 4/26/25

Last night, my wife showed me Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Ian Fleming wrote that (Truly Scrumptious is a Bond girl). It was a hell of a movie.

Edreimlecheth’s First Christmas (P4 of 5)

Chapter 4 Candles stood at every table, turning the darkness to a warm dimness and marking that dimness with a score of yellow stars. It was a minor decorative change, but it made a big difference. One of my companions must have spoken to the denizens of this storm sealed cavern, or maybe Sareash hadContinue reading “Edreimlecheth’s First Christmas (P4 of 5)”

Edreimlecheth’s First Christmas (P3 of 5)

Chapter 3 -Edreimlecheth I had a familiar sinking feeling in my chest, salted with just a hint of burgeoning rage. I was alone now. Sareash and the rest had all left me here alone in this place. It stunk of tree needles.  “Happy holiday.” I said to myself, loud enough to get a side-eye fromContinue reading “Edreimlecheth’s First Christmas (P3 of 5)”

Edreimlecheth’s First Christmas (P2 of 5)

Chapter 2 -Trog The sign above the inn said “The Green Scorpion”. I was the first one inside. It smelled like mead and dried leaves. I didn’t hate the smell, but didn’t love it either. It was dimly lit. The staff hadn’t lit up the night torches, but the clouds and the snow blocked outContinue reading “Edreimlecheth’s First Christmas (P2 of 5)”

Edreimlecheth’s First Christmas (P1 of 5)

This is a holiday vignette set in the world of The Kingdom’s Disdain. It takes place between the events of The Nature of the Beast and the upcoming novel Hounds of Ruin. It’s just a little slice-of-life segment I pieced together. I enjoyed writing it, and I hope you enjoy reading it! Happy holidays, whether you areContinue reading “Edreimlecheth’s First Christmas (P1 of 5)”

WD 221 “Claude Frollo”

A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Claude Frollo Say what you mean to me My particles are rippling with the burden of anticipation And antiseptic creams that wash out infections You’re covered in them, blistering beasts of unmatched ferocity The sun sets on you when you like  And you’re back to letContinue reading “WD 221 “Claude Frollo””
