Writer/Home of MYOPIA
Within oral and written records of early stories, supernatural creatures are abundant. Did people really believe in fairies in the forest, or that leprechauns could be found near rainbows?

Even contemporary “myths” about Bigfoot and...
It has been quite a while since I’ve posted anything on this website. Well, writing can be a rather slow process after all. This, while managing other aspects of life, particularly full-tome work.

Ninjas are about as easy to ignore these days as is a roundhouse kick to the head. Seriously, ninjas are all over. But unlike cheap Halloween costumes, toys, videogames, ninja-based-business-terminology, the ninja invasion of American entertainment began slow and subtle, rather like ninjas themselves. Read more about this history in the latest M.Y.O.P.I.A.
Fall is the season for horror. Not just for TV and movies. On these cold nights, as the moon disappears behind clouds, and leaves rustle against the corner of the house, there's nothing like reading a good scary book into the wee hours of the night.

Get ready to read about fashion...well, sort of. To end the slightly celebrated Superhero September on the site, check out a bit of food for thought on superhero outfits, and particularly, where the movies can really fail fans, and the core of what a character is, by getting the costume wrong.
I have a short story published in the latest issue of a cool magazine called FLAPPERHOUSE.
