Work Work Work, and actually liking Deadlines. . .

Being a starving artist has its ups and downs.  Mainly its downs, but if your passionate about what you do, oh well.  My ups include, but not limited to, no rules, no censorship, and complete freedom (unless your collaborating).  The downs include, but not limited to, no money.  Every serious writer has at some point dreamed of being signed to a big time publishing house.  Huge advances to live off of so all you have to do is write.  All the advertisement (well some of it to be fair), marketing, promotion, formatting, editing, and art work are left to professionals who are getting a nice slice of the money pie.  And then there are the deadlines.  I know, I know a lot people hate having to rush and struggle to get a project complete, but me personally have found deadlines helpful in me creating structure.  And, its a great motivator.  Two options.  Get it done by Christmas or be sued for breach of contract.  You write.

So, here I find myself with lots of work to do, but not always an incentive to do it.  I'm still a no name so the stuff I do put out either doesn't sell or sells very little.  Very discouraging.  One masters of taboo book has been released and two more announced.  I've completed all my submissions for that particular series for what may be the next three years.  I have numerous stories that need to be written, but why rush?  Where's the pay off?  As of right now, I have a lifetime to get all of them done.  Which is good, but may also mean, they'll never get done.  Get it?

Incentives include, but are not limited to, praise and money.  I get praise all the time.  I'm a great writer (with still a lot to learn)I get it.  Money!  Haven't seen a dime, yet.  Even though you sell books on kindle you won't see a penny of it until you make enough in royalties to warrant them cutting a check.  I've learned that when given a deadline on a writing project I get inspired, focused and determined.  I'm more than positive money will also be a huge boot to my ass one of these days.

Speaking of money. . .

Quote from Nigel Lata-Burston's review of Masters of Taboo: Cannibalism

My story 

Will be featured in in the 1st Masters of Taboo anthology out this Halloween

Emotionally Involved

I am a firm believer that the human condition should be the foundation for all story telling regardless of the genre. A character's motivation and feelings are essential in all formats. Leave those things out and you have shit. That shit may be fun for awhile, but once it's over with nobody is talking about it. Prime example of fun forgettable shit- Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies. I've been a fan my whole life, but let's face it. It's always about 5 dumbass teenagers driving through a secluded part of Texas. Why are they there? Who gives a shit. Who will make it out alive? Who gives a shit. I've always wondered why women needed story lines in their porn and now I see why. Fucking for the sake of fucking is fun (especially if your just there for a quick fap), but lets be honest. With all the porn that's out there you need substance to compete or its just a fuck flick that gets lost in the massive shuffle that is porn. The same goes for Horror. I'm a huge gorehound and love senseless cinema violence. But, at the end of the day I need something that's going to move me. This line of thinking is what I aspire to in my own writings. To make something that will touch people (however it may) many years from now. My goal is to get to the level of the writers for the Law&Order shows (I love em dammit). So, I suppose I owe a huge thanks to Stephen Biro for coming up with the themes for the Masters of Taboo series. They have challenged me to not only deliver hard hitting horror for the book fans, but to top myself. Today, as sat inflicting unnameable misery on my characters I myself was brought to tears by the antagonist's motives. I didn't ball like a baby, just a bit misty eyed. I hope when you read any of my stories that emotions stir and percolate. If you can get through something I've written w/o a second thought you're either cold blooded or I need to work harder. Chances are though, your fucking nuts.

Past, Present, and Future

This summer I unleashed 'A Sordid Infatuation', a love story about an unhinged woman and a serial killer. This Halloween, Masters of Taboo: Cannibalism will devastate readers around the world. I've already completed the soul shattering story for the 2nd anthology coming in the near future. The 3rd anthology's topic was leaked to me (thanks birdie) and I immediately got to work. Now, this tale of madness is in motion and will be completed soon and vaulted away from prying eyes until the time its needed to make readers cringe. My next novella entitled, Angelicka, has been fleshed out and only needs a solid outline before it can be written. That should be ready by the beginning of the new year. Stay Tuned!!

Prepare for Halloween!

I'm one of 13 authors featured in the only Definitive International Cannibal Anthology.  Regular and Limited Editions will be available in print, kindle, and all eReaders.  Prepare to be disturbed beyond belief.

Reviews from Amazon of "A Sordid Infatuation"

Kudos to this new author! This story is not your typical love story. I too will not give anything away regarding this book because this story is just too darn good. I am an avid reader of love stories and have never read anything like this book. I was very surprised to find out that it is actually a bit of a thriller and I typically don't care for that genre. What can I say other than I highly recommend this short gripping tale of love, horror and suspense


I started and finished this shorty in less than 3 hours. I couldn't put it down. It's hard to explain why I liked this book so much without revealing details of the storyline, but for a love story, it is different from any other that I have read. Great imagination. I would love to read more from this author.
