Change of Plans
Heads up, I'm postponing self-publication of "Pemberton Lane and Other Stories." Why? Backstory Time There's this unofficial, totally made-up thing called the I.B. Syndrome* . In high school the I.B. Program was made up of a small cluster of the nerdiest nerds I have ever met. (You know those stereotypes where you have the smart … Continue reading Change of Plans
Tales Told by Family
Remember that phenomenon I nicknamed "The Man in the Attic"? Well, I like to think my immediate family also possesses a creative streak, and frequently uses it entertain others by recounting real life adventures in animated and imaginative ways. Or (in my father's case) sometimes they fabricate tall tales just to see who falls for … Continue reading Tales Told by Family
A New Year’s First Readings
When I was at University, Anton read a book he thought was amazing and suggested I dig it up at the campus castle (library). I tried to get my hands on it until the day I graduated but that thing was always out on loan! Argh! And then, about a week ago, Anton managed to … Continue reading A New Year’s First Readings
Writing Updates: December 2017

This breezeless autumn evening oral surgeon Dr. Paolo "Doc" Carbonero opted for scenic drive particularly since he found its quiescence reminiscent … Continue reading The Cloud

Without further ado, an experience of mine. Adventures in Dentistry: Meeting Mr. Hoyle During my awkward first months as a dental assistant, the receptionist Claire … Continue reading A Simile Varnish
Favorite Literary Things
My former book castle had been a university library in Miami and unfortunately, as I graduated early in August, I was temporarily without a literary home base between then and the first week of September. That week, I tagged along with Anton to the Orlando Public Library and, goodness, the lonely books were calling out … Continue reading Favorite Literary Things
The Phantoms’ Interpreter
This year I'll be participating in National Novel Writing Month for the first time, and I'll be using a story idea that I have not yet thoroughly developed (I'm totally using this as an excuse to play with unknowns, which is always a blast). The Phantoms' Interpreter Author: "Tea and Ideas" (my NaNoWriMo name) Genre: … Continue reading The Phantoms’ Interpreter
Evil’s Dilemma
Pistol and attention transfixed upon his traitorous former partner, Neutrino descended the steps a safe distance from where superhero Waveform jogged in the opposite direction, boots ringing on metal, toward the control room exit. Volkow paid little heed to the weapon trained on him; instead he busied himself reading a lengthy caution poster on the nearest … Continue reading Evil’s Dilemma
