The Vessel Returns
I'm very happy to announce that, after a long and unplanned hiatus, space horror podcast The Vessel will be debuting new episodes in March. This has been a long time coming, and I'm grateful to everyone who patiently (and sometimes impatiently) waited for its return. All of your questions, whether posted online, in reviews, or emailed directly to me, kept the engines burning long enough to keep t

“I write differently from what I speak, I speak differently from what I think, I think differently from the way I ought to think, and so it all proceeds into deepest darkness.”

“I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound or stab us. If the book we're reading doesn't wake us up with a blow to the head, what are we reading for? So that it will make us happy, as you write? Good Lord, we would be happy precisely if we had no books, and the kind of books that make us happy are the kind we could write ourselves if we had to. But we need books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us. That is my belief.”

Hi Brian! How terrific to *meet* you :-)Ellen C Maze
Thank you for the friend request, Brian. Have a great weekend.Karen
Namaste Brian, I thank you for including me among your friends here. Wishing you the best in all things. If you have any interest in honest spirituality, distinguihed from religion, I would invite you to have a look at my spiritual allegory, Song of George: Portrait of an Unlikely Holy Man.
Have a fine day, jesse
Thanks for your my friend request, Brian. And I happily accept and it's greatly appreciated. If you love a good mystery, and you have either a Kindle, Nook or iBooks, I encourage you to try a sample of my first novel. It's called FORBIDDEN STEPS and it's getting raves and 5 stars across the board. Check out what folks are saying by clicking on the link below, then scroll downward. http://www.craftweb.org/web/ed/book.html
Also, here's the link to my YouTube promo vid.
