I’ve been back online but have had little time to write. I will be rectifying that soon I hope.
As you know, a while back my computer was fried in an electrical storm. It went from laptop to toast in seconds flat. My computer was my primary source of income, and its loss had a dire [...]
I like monsters. Werewolves are my favourites but I also like sasquatch, hell-hounds, moth-men, killer bunnies and Nessie. And we really don’t see enough good monster fiction.
Monster, by Frank Peretti, is not good monster fiction. Instead its Christian creationist propaganda disguised as monster fiction. And the worst thing is, I didn’t know it until [...]
I'm over at my personal weblog blogging for charity with the Blogathon. Please join me at the Shattered Prayer for some good wholesome…. okay maybe not so wholesome… fun - I'm telling true paranormal stories, doing free tarot readings, and raising money for a worthy cause. I'm also blogging in the nude! No pictures though, [...]
Food has been on my mind a lot lately. I’ve recently moved into a new home after staying with family since Katrina. I always believed the first meal I would prepare for myself in my new kitchen would be gumbo or some other New Orleans staple, but after months of living off my mother’s hillbilly [...]
It has been a long time since I’ve been so impressed with a book, so moved, so completely unnerved. When I first picked up Closer I had plenty of expectations. A little light reading, I thought. Some titillating gay erotica, probably a bit lurid, I thought. At 130 pages, I would likely finish it in [...]
Katherine Neville was writing historical and/or religious conspiracy fiction before Dan Brown was even a twinkle in his publisher’s eye. Neville’s gigantic work of historical conspiracy fiction, The Eight has acheived cult status. The Magic Circle is one of her lesser known works. There was a time when I liked religious conspiracy novels. [...]
I liked Patrick Califia’s work back when he was a she, and she was a lesbian. Back in those days, Pat/rick did not limit hirself exclusively to lesbian erotica, but the stories seemed to be rawer, and packed more of a punch. Or perhaps its just that Pat/rick’s writing is better suited to the vehicle [...]
I've joined the 2006 Blogathon and on July 29th I will be blogging every 30 minutes for 24 hours straight. My charity is The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission. I wont be blogging from here, but from my personal journal, The Shattered Prayer, and appreciate any amount of support, through emails, comments, etc. [...]
I once spoke of the wood where I was, for a time, seemingly lost in another realm - Faery, perhaps. This same wood cradled in its midst a rather barren area, formed entirely of reddish clay and looking, in its empty strangeness, like some Martian landscape. Nothing would grow on it, except for an occasional [...]
