Recently, I was invited to join the group Writers of the South (USA). It is a small, but enthusiastic group of authors in every type of genre. The group is aimed at supporting and promoting authors in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi and Tennessee.
As we grow, we plan to take several opportunities to showcase the varied and talented people in the group. We will hit it hard over the next couple of days, hopefully gaining some new exposure and introducing you to writings you…

Becoming Quinn Brett Battles

 

Hello again! Yes I am back from vacation and oh so happy to be back here in the blogosphere. Wait, no, retract that; I would prefer to be on the beach listening to the surf roll but since I am not independently wealthy yet, I need to get back in the saddle and back to work. Okay that cleared up, so there is no misunderstanding, and I am perfectly clear, let’s get ready to rumble. As a side note : yesterday was the first day back on the air with The G-ZONE, my blogtalk radio show,…

Creeping up on you...

The G-Man over at Trestle Press released the excellent cover to Chapter 2 of Reprisal. This installment is called "The Impeccant".



I'll wait while you open a new tab to look it up on dictionary.com.

Okay, got it? Good, let's move on.



In this chapter, preparations are made to evacuate the town proper. Maybe Chief Canton is being overzealous or maybe he has incredible foresight. Either way, the town of… Continue

Disappearing Act J.E. Seymour

Like the clown cover? Yeah that is me. The clown element to this digital short story is just one component of the story. The real deal here is family, and what each other will do when the chips are down. It is very interesting dynamic here in a short amount of space, well composed, well defined and well plotted. Can one ask for much more out of a short story and $.99? I think not.

Here is the brief synopsis of “Disappearing Act”:

“When fugitive Kevin Markinson honors his dying…

The Keeper Of HIs Heart

Gentle touch of fingers upon skin

speaks more than words ever could

tracing the sultry curves of her skin

feeling it tremble

anticipation of enchantment

lips caress each other

the taste of sweet embrace

from each others lips

then traveling so carefully

over the hills and valley of her skin

as whispers of such pleasure

floats upon the crest of the a

sweet blessing softly she gives

taste of her intoxicates the senses…

Darren Sant Guest Post on "Drunk on the Moon"

The very first thing that strikes you about this book is the excellent cover designed by Giovanni Gelati of Trestle press and the author of the blog that has published this post. The author describes the concept of Drunk on the Moon as something he came up with after a few beers. However, those that know, Spinetingler award nominee, Paul D. Brazill’s work will know there is no need to worry about the quality of the story. Many people out there will recognise the title as a Tom Waits song and…

Choices: Never isolated, but always connected

The idea that a choice made in isolation will only affect the person making it is only valid if that person was alone in the world and had no established connection to anyone. Choices are very particular for the individual, but interconnected for the whole of society. Choices can never be made in isolation of others. This is so well established an idea that economist had to create a way around it…

The Venom of Enigma.

I sat myself down on the half buried boulder and sighed at the darkening sky. The stars were slowly coming out to play and the moon seemed rather shy, peeping out from behind a lonely cloud. A cool wind blew in from the south, ruffling my shirt and making the trees whisper softly.

A highly excited laugh split the silence like a thunderclap. I jumped, startled. While my skeleton had been busy jumping out of its… Continue

The Raven's Fled.

When my arms embrace darkness

One can only think it harmless

Until pain is caressed

And death is undressed

 

With throes of sick lament

I passed through death, unkempt

Oh, there my soul rest!

 

I hear church bells

Atop the lonely tower

Ring cold death knells

For my blackest hour

 

Carnivorous ravens fled

Into midnight hours

Where salty tears bled

Upon funeral…

The Ebon Rose

 

Death's ebon dart

Flew with accuracy

Struck her heart

With adept mastery

 

Under Gibbous rays

She lay bleeding

Her memory sways

Her life fleeing

 

The battle raged

For wont of days

Only delayed

By her discovery

Go over to my blog and take a look at my attempt to put some humor in a blog that's also trying to decide what makes for a good policve-procedural.  Tell me what you think!  Maybe even pull up enough of a nerve to throw your hat into the 'fan' page.  Find it here:

The Cabin

The snow rested on the top of the oak and maple trees while the brown bark still showed below. A similar effect covered the evergreens with green pine needles. Sap affect covering the evergreens with their strong trunks made smooth frozen drops of the rough bark surface. The snow on the ground lay untouched by animal or human wanderings. The natural blanket shimmering as light made its way through the snow-covered branches, making the ground look like glass. The only sound that could be heard… Continue
