Today’s A to Z writing challenge is the letter “M” for monster. This author gets his creativity from his love of monsters. My love for monsters started early in my life. I’d watch campy horror movies with characters like Frankenstein, Dracula, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, etc. I read […]
Today’s A to Z writing challenge is “H” for Heaven and Hell. Many do not believe in a heaven or a hell. As a writer, my trilogy “The Chosen One of Allivar” was not written to convince a reader of either. The concepts of both provide for some of the […]

A fellow author asked me via Twitter what made my trilogy epic. For a moment I paused. Did I truly understand the meaning of “epic”? I was inspired by “The Lord of the Rings”, “The Silmarillion” and “Paradise Lost”, which are all referred to as literary epics. But did I […]
To continue on with my A to Z blog writing challenge, we cover the letter “F”. “F” is for flammable. I was once a young budding rocket scientist testing out the explosive capabilities of various household fluids. For many guys, there is just something about the allure of watching something […]
