Yesterday, I posted a piece of artwork that accompanied my story, “Fear of Rain,” in the British magazine Postscripts. Today, let’s take a look at another illustration created for the very same story! This artwork accompanied “Fear of Rain” last year in the Russian magazine ESLI. It pictures the same characters, Mr. Flood and Dee, [...]

First up, from the legendary Postscripts magazine, comes the artwork that was featured alongside my story, “Fear of Rain,” [...]

When I woke up this afternoon, my motivation was gone. I couldn’t believe it. His little cap and suitcase were gone. So were his sneakers and mittens. All of them gone. He’d left a note, so at least I knew he hadn’t been kidnapped or something. According to the note, he’d decided to bail out [...]

How much writing did I do today? Zero. But that’s okay. Wendy and I spent Friday evening and all day Saturday with our 8-year-old niece and nephew, Sami and Andrew. We had a great time from start to finish, whether we were eating breakfast at Eat ‘n’ Park, playing games at home, or going to see [...]

This was always his trademark: to spin incessantly, senselessly, recklessly, no matter where he was or what he was doing. Obviously, some activities were more problematic in this regard, like voiding his bladder [...]

Sometimes, I get off track in the fiction writing realm. This week, for example, I’ve been pretty sick, and it’s taken a toll on my writing. Frankly, I haven’t been hitting on all cylinders for most of the week, and it’s been frustrating. But today, I implemented the best strategy for dealing with such off-track [...]

…the cold has moved into my lungs. The slightest provocation will send me into a coughing jag. So yeah, not having all that much fun…but at least I got to watch the Supernatural season premiere online today! I missed taping it and was going berserk because the show ended on such a great cliffhanger last [...]

Today is the twenty-fourth anniversary of that fateful day in Prague. It’s why I’m sitting here now in total darkness, wondering if Bupkus will pass me by. Wondering if he’ll find a way to forgive me for what happened with Whipple and the Turks. Because I know he’s out there somewhere in the night, somewhere [...]
