I'm a dreamer and voracious addict of stories. I love books, movies, series, and all tales of the strange and wonderful.

This movie is exactly what I thought it would be and I'm so happy.
Just what I needed right now. Definitely a DVD or Blu-ray buy I think.

Getting ready for an evening of Heroquest.
Over the holidays I'm running a new campaign, hopefully completing Rise of the Dread Moon.

This is the cover for my upcoming sci-fi thriller Whispers of Static.
When the dead offer only silence, and massive corporations will do anything to keep it that way, two detectives must risk everything to uncover answers they may wish they had never learned.

There should be a setting in YouTube music to only play a band's deep tracks. Nothing from the radio or the most popular. Give me that good stuff.

I never thought much of the magpie's warble, until I heard it in another country and instantly felt a little closer to home.

Adrift after the sad news for New World, I find myself looking to past shores.
WoW is a nostalgia trip, but not one I'm willing to take just yet.
GW2, ESO, Albion, Thrown and Liberty, Eve Online, and Neverwinter have been played to death.
Finally I find myself looking to Rift. And old friend.

The kookaburra sings it's final song as the day fades in a fiery golden sunset. Dusk whispers in cicada chirps of the night quickly approaching. The trees chatter amongst themselves in the mild breeze, and I find a long moment of serenity.

I've come to Perth for a wedding and where I'm staying it is incredibly peaceful.
It's basically a wee writers retreat.

The night before our 9 hour flight to Perth, my precious son brings me this. Apparently he just kept bending it until it gave. A creature of pure impulse.
I feel a headache coming on as my left eye twitches.

Wow okay I'm so over Nintendo at this point. The virtual game cards system on the original switch is the straw that broke the camel's back. I can't have the same game loaded on to my main switch and my switch lite at the same time under my account. It's VERY anti-user.

While I'm drowning in the submission trenches I am also deep into my next project. A story melding music and science fiction into an epic power metal ballad of the ages.

I had to add the MiB novel to my DNF list. The more I read the more dissatisfied I felt. About 3/4 of the way through I just wasn't feeling it. The comedy wasn't landing for me and stuff was left out that characterized Jay and Kay much better in the movie.

So I made these guitar picks from old credit cards as a protest to not being able to buy single picks from the guitar store any more. Back when I used to frequent the stores you could get a range of individual picks for like $1 each. Now it's all packs of 4 minimum for $10.
