THE DAY THE SUN STOPPED SHINING BLOG TOUR 2011 Enter. Sit before the Tale Weaver. On this cold & stormy night, yuletide greetings I do not impart. Shan’t be the bells of Saint Nicholas you hear echoing in the dark corner of night, nor shall the sweet chorus of cherub-faced children serenade at your door. Tuck yourself into bed, friend, and be mindful to …
The Day The Sun Stopped Shining Tour 2011 is upon us! Already, dark angels of cataclysmic confusion harken as my body valiantly repels invasion from alien spawn (I’ve got a cold & just woke from a nap…but seriously, I sound braver after reading that first sentence, so just roll with it). Aah, but an apocalyptic struggle …
Well I’m participating in THE DAY THE SUN STOPPED SHINING BLOG TOUR 2011 from December 26 through December 31, and I’ll be honest, I don’t have a damn clue what I’m doing 😉 . I suppose that’s what I get for opening my big mouth when I’m already juggling Mr. Mom & business owner duties, in addition to …
I’m about to pass both the Versatile Blogger and Liebster Awards to two very deserving bloggers. But first things first. I mentioned in my last post that I would only nominate one blogger for each and that remains true (technically I’m supposed to pick 15 for the Versatile Blogger and 5 for the Liebster). Please understand that …
I’m usually saying something in my posts. For a change, I’m saying nothing. But even that is filled with a whole lot of everything. FACT: My November promotion of Dusk and Summer for National Pancreatic Cancer Research Month didn’t go exactly as I had planned. Why so, you ask? Well, I didn’t sell a million copies. To be …
Enter. Sit before the Tale Weaver. Heed me now. ‘Tis not a chronicle I do recount, nor a fable spun beyond your wildest imagination. Aye, I impart onto you a warning, and if wise, measure my every word you will. Beware the beast that drinks not of blood but feasts upon the essence of your very being. ‘Tis the psychic …
The chill of autumn has officially arrived, but the warmth of my summer love still lingers. Everyone has had a love; some just don’t go away. And so it is with mine – she’s been with me all my life, patiently awaiting the day I would once again bathe her with affection, turning what were once faded, cherished snapshots of reminiscence …
I cannot believe that my grandmother passed away a year ago this month. I think it’s true – the passage of time truly does speed up once you have a child. It seems only yesterday that I was a kid myself, sitting in her kitchen during my lunches from school. A child always needs consistency. That …
I originally posted this blog back in April, 2011. Athena has come a long way since then. Her resiliency is unrivalled; I admit I get caught up in the bustle of my own life instead of sitting back & appreciating the lessons my own daughter silently teaches me. There exist moments I don’t think I can …
It’s not always horror fiction for me. Sometimes I’ll take my pad & pen & scribble random thoughts down. I enjoy plucking nothing from the air & making something out of it. If I’m lucky, I’ll finish with a poem. Or a song. Now, I’m not saying that they’re any good. I’m only saying that I’m …
