Now what kind of horror writer would I be if I didn’t acknowledge Friday the 13th? For me, this day has little to do with superstition and bad luck. In fact, I tend to celebrate it like a holiday. While not as prevalent on my calendar as Halloween, I still like to have horror movie

I won’t lie. After the past couple bits of good news I received, I was hoping to keep the ball rolling. I had a similar hope over a year ago when I sold my first story to a paying market. But that wasn’t the case. I hit the road hard and had a long 1

Happy Saturday fellow blogians. Blogites. Bloggers. Uh, you know what I mean. I watched The Hitcher last night. I have to tell ya, I totally expected it to be much worse. Now, I’m not saying it wasn’t kinda bad, but it wasn’t as bad as many other movies I’ve seen in the past months. Plus

Right on the heels of my recent hold notice at Withersin, I have just received an acceptance letter for my piece, “Retired.” The story will appear in the October issue of MagusZine.

I’ve neglected my real reason for having this blog. That is, of course, to keep a record of my writing, submissions, rejections, and so on. So, with that in mind, I tell you now of two rejections I have received over the past few days. One from Brutarian and one from Fantasy Magazine. Both were

I wish I knew how to post a video directly into this thing, but I’m “too lazy” to figure it out. So follow this link. You wont be disappointed. Click me oh so gently.

With very little else to say or do, I thought I’d post some more pictures. For one thing, it justifies my spending $140 on a digital camera. For another, it makes my dreary blog look oh so pretty. Come on. You look at me with a straight emoticon and tell me all that vibrant green

And yet, I post pictures of hummingbirds now. Is it a bad sign when I show a friend pictures of wildlife, and their first question is, “Tony. What did you do to it?” I promise. No harm has come to the hummingbird in these pictures. They’re too damn fast. No need to critique my horrible
