It’s The Flash – Fiction Baby!
Flash what? Well besides the fact that I’m a superhero fan, we’re talking flash fiction. Reading flash fiction is like a sport, call me Barry Allen, (Flash’s secret identity) from the comic books because if I can be moved or entertained by ideas, stories, and philosophies in a single sitting in 15 minutes or less – golden! Flash fiction if you’re asking yourself what it’s … Continue reading It’s The Flash – Fiction Baby!
Valkyrie are Awesome
I love mythology. What I enjoy the best, is the heroic journey of the stories, the romance of it, and the mystical pathways that tie it all together.

Magick is an Award Winner
In 2016 I entered my book Magick in The New Apple Book Awards for a couple of submissions that fit my book. My thought was maybe I might get a nice mention, and that would be a nice thing for my debut, mind you I had no thoughts of winning anything.

Then as fate would have it they are pulled apart, bad guys and pride … Continue reading Bad Boys & Why We Love Them
