But I can tell you that every single one of my stories reflects something or some feeling in my life. Take "Yellow Eyes", for instance -- being lost on interminable, winding highways in southern Missouri, no cell service for miles, with all those spear-like shadowy trees in thick clutches on either side of the road, and the only light for miles in front or back of our vehicle being our headlights. It gave us the weird sensation of being a bubble of light floating through the darkness -- a very lonely feeling indeed.

That of course turned out much worse for the family in "Yellow Eyes" than it did for me, LOL, but you get the picture! (less)

Writer's block is real, but it doesn't have to stop you in your tracks. Go back to the movies and books you love, get inspired, and get back at it.

As far as I'm concerned, I plow through it. It's not always easy, but putting words that weren't on the page yesterday is the only way to get books done. Getting books done is the best way to beat writer's block.(less)

Summer Bloody Summer by Alex Hartwell
"Really enjoyed this slasher story. The characters were cliche school kids but it worked and was done well, you could relate to them. It's a pretty short book so it doesn't take too long to get right into the action, and boy does it! I'm not sure if t" Read more of this review »

This is my first Honeybrook book and I enjoyed the hell out of it. It's a slow burn terror fest that remanufactures grief horror into something at once new and old. It's only a novella, but it still has plenty of deeply disturbing imagery -- my favor ...more
