I live in Brooklyn which is good except when it’s not which is horrid. I’ve been writing for awhile, and have some stuff published and some stuff not.

Instead, I did nothing. Figures, huh? In my defense it was a rough week. And now here we… Continue reading Thus Ends Banned Books Week and Thus Begins Halloween Time

Now, in my neck of the woods the day before Halloween was called Gate Night. I always assumed it had something to do with the gates of hell opening up.… Continue reading Gate Night
