The Deconstructing of Tracy has begun. I found the perfect piece of artwork for the cover in a folder of my own childhood artwork. Yeah, I drew that. The sad part is that if I drew it today it'd look pretty much the same. I am woefully untalented. The book is a darkly humorous look … Continue reading Cover Art – Deconstructing Tracy
Ever have those morning when you wake up and ask yourself, "So, what's next?" Especially when you just finish up a project you've been working on for a while? Just last week I finished up the second novel in the Cast Down series. There are two others in the series in the works right now. … Continue reading Deconstructing Tracy
Have I mentioned that my recently departed friend, Mary was fully equipped with a Bum Magnet? Yeah, she was. I've never seen one that was stronger than hers. She could attract a bum from incredible distances. One bum in particular I remember was named Dennis. She met him online somewhere, because that always works out … Continue reading Ramblings of a Retired “Ghost Hunter” (part 7)
September 4th, 2010 in the back yard of our home in East Haven, Connecticut, Marty and I were married. The featured image in this post is of us standing in front of the seven foot tall cross he made for me about six months earlier from branches of a red maple tree in the yard. … Continue reading A Decade of Marriage
So, where was I? Okay, right "Nightmare in Bridgeport" on that show A Haunting. That whole thing all started with a phone call from the leader of one para-abnormal team to another. This guy who actually had his own little ghost busting group realizes that his own childhood home, where his widowed mother still lives … Continue reading Ramblings of a Retired “Ghost Hunter” (part 3)
So, back to the case where I got the picture of the face in the window.... We were a group (ship of fools, car of idiots) and we were led (and misled) by this older man named Richard. Richard was a Liabetic. Richard had Liabetes and it was not a treatable case. During the same … Continue reading Ramblings of a Retired “Ghost Hunter” (part 2)
The Place of Shadows is a terrifying non-fiction novel written by Mary J. Quirion. I know that the story is bizarre, but I also know that it's true. I know because I was there. Demons exist. Screwing around with the paranormal destroyed her life, took everything from her and I firmly believe that her involvement … Continue reading The Place of Shadows
Back in 2006 when I lived in East Haven, CT I was about to turn 40, and I was single. I had a roommate and I had friends, I had a great job and a new car and I'd just purchased my house. I was new to New Haven county and wanted to make more … Continue reading Don’t Fear the Reaper
When I was a kid I hated going to the dentist. We lived in a small town and I think there were two dentists to choose from back in the 1970's. The one that was on the side of town where we lived had his practice at his home. My pediatrician actually had his office … Continue reading Confessions of a Denta-phobe
I remember turning sixteen back in the early 1980s. Sixteen. Wow. That was probably bigger than twenty-one or even thirty. Sixteen was, for us at the time the age of Independence. It was the age when we could start working, and start driving. Back then there were no "conditional" licenses or permits. On your sixteenth birthday … Continue reading Sixteen
