Poisons
For no particular reason, I started looking at poisons today. I figure it’s something I’ll stash in the back of my head for future writing use. The one I discovered today is Thallium Nitrate, which is odorless, colorless and tasteless.…
The Compost Process of Writing
Pulling bullshit out of your ass and piling it on the page until it turns into a story. Hopefully a good one.
What do you think?
I’m trying to write a non-fantasy romantic suspense. Sort of a side thing for fun and relaxation. This is my current beginning. Very rough. All the same, I need to know: What do you think? Seriously, what do you think?…
Research, or please don’t arrest me

I came back from the writing retreat having written 32, 281 words in basically 3.5 days. I am completely stunned. I have never written that much in that little time, ever. I worked on the sequel to The Incubus Job…
Writing Retreat
Tomorrow I will head off to the Rainforest Writers Village in the Olympic Rainforest. I’ve done some really good words done the last couple of years there. I’m hoping this one goes even better. My back has been giving me…
