As a believer of science and empiricism, the truth is difficult for me to admit, but there is no better way for me to explain the events that occurred in his house while I was growing up. I have tied to process the events in several stories, but as a witness to the real-life disturbances, they were more frightening than any references I've made to them in my fiction, and the memories continue to baffle me to this day.(less)

Into a Hollywood heart of darkness: uncovering Trevor Simms and ‘T Bird’

Many are called, few are chosen. So goes a Marine Corps advertising slogan—also what I think of the talented transplants who flock from across the United States and rest of the world to make Los Angeles their home.

A creative individual needs to be confident, even reckless, to pursue their dreams for a living.

Moving to the big city is no joke, especially now. Even before the 2023 writers’ strik

Quotes by Ryan Hyatt  (?)

“Living in Venice, it’s hard to determine the real parody of inhumanity. On the one hand, there are the homeless hordes, a teaming mass of virtual zombies swelling the streets whose daily business amounts to ruffling through trash, pissing on corners and chasing pets. On the other hand, there is the endless stream of bourgeois stiffs coming and going from home, restaurants and shops. They are zombies in their own right who pretend the homeless don’t exist.”
Ryan Hyatt, Stay Younger Longer

“The truth is no one can be fully protected. Safety is an illusion. There is no safety. Just downtime between tragedies.”
S.A. Cosby, My Darkest Prayer

“Trust your heart if the seas catch fire, live by love though the stars walk backward.”
E.E. Cummings

“To the question, 'What is God?' and 'What is man?' the answer is that the soul, conscious of its limited existence, is 'man', and the soul reflected by the vision of the unlimited, is 'God'. In plain words man's self-consciousness is man, and man's consciousness of his highest ideal is God.”
Hazrat Inayat Khan, The Way of Illumination

“What haunts are not the dead, but the gaps left within us by the secrets of others.”
Jake Anderson, The Vanishing at Smokestack Hollow: A Missing Family, a Desperate Plan, an Unsolved Mystery
