Finals, Writing, and Anxiety

May 14, 2013

Fitting that this be my 100th post, it being about the end of things, as it were. No, I’m not ending this blog, but I am ending this semester at college (it’s finals week, hence my lack of blogging, and writing. For shame, I know), and for a while now I’ve been holed up in a whirlwind of anxiety and sickness. I don’t feel well. I don’t feel…like myself. I feel scared, tired, sad, and, quite frankly, not good enough. I barely go on Goodreads anymore, I no longer promote TDW or TIG (and part of that is because I’m…

One day, this woman was walking down a barren street when she came across an old, dirty child. It was clear the child had had no proper place to sleep, and had no food to eat,…

Brief Story (1/30/2013) Continuation (Updated!)

January 31, 2013

Someone asked me to continue it and I, myself, had been thinking about it and the possible story it held so I decided to write some more on my ‘brief’ story, but of course, after this it may not be so brief but instead be novella-worthy. Let’s just see where this takes us shall we? There was something on her shoulder but as she turned to look at it, it disappeared leaving her all the more confused. “I don’t know what that was,” she told him. He touched the same shoulder while she gave him a once over in confusion.…

Preorder Ronald Moore’s Debut Novel, NOCTURN TODAY!

May 30, 2013

You get to pick from two fancy new covers made from artist Joel Amat Güell, who also designed my cover for A Night of Frivolity: In fact, Joel has designed covers for all of the Before Sunrise Press works, all of which can be seen here, at their store: All of the covers are beautifully created, but none so much as the artwork for NOCTURN, which, to be truly admired, must be seen up close: Isn’t that incredible? Yes, you can pre-order it now, and yes, you may want to do so soon because you can get author-signed copies of…
