Flash fiction: a glimpse into the twisted thoughts of a writer. There are things in the world unknown to us, mere mortal humans...

A man paints ... someone dies ... I am reading this story tomorrow at the 2nd annual St Valentine's Horrorcon in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Flash fiction: a glimpse into the twisted thoughts of a writer. A surreal story of how we each live mostly oblivious to what might be right next to us.

At this point you know as much about this story as I do. I expect this story will turn out to be a horror. I don't script or outline. I just write. Time is a working title and will likely change as the story comes alive. Come, join me, as together we learn what Time will bring.

Flash fiction: a glimpse into the twisted thoughts of a writer. When a group of kids tease an old woman...

Short story. This is a mystery, as best as I can tell. Or, perhaps, it is just a story about a mysterious journey of the mind. Is it a crime? Perhaps. The crime of dreams unfulfilled, of a mind neglected; a crime of the mind, the heart, the soul. Ok, perhaps a crime of the body as well. It started on a day much like today ...

What would you do if you came home from school alone and heard noises in the basement? Five kids, twelve and thirteen years old and on their own before and after school, each faces their own struggle. A broken home, illness, crushes, bullying, depression, absent parents, suicidal thoughts, broken friendships, and fears of being only a kid and home alone. There is also the strange noises houses make when they are quiet and you are alone, particularly the noises in the basement. Something is down there. Madison, Andrew, Kylie, Anna, and Dylan are brought together by circumstances that feel overwhelmingly out of their control. The temptation of exploring an old abandoned brick building, loneliness, and fleeing an attempted abduction, each is drawn to the old abandoned building for different reasons. There, they will fight for their lives, where the monsters in the basement nest. The complete book is available for order online in Kindle ebook and in paperback from various online retailers including Amazon.
