Cackling laughter erupted from the flaming hole in my table, then stopped … Continue reading DATE NIGHT WITH GOROTH

Draft 1.02 Golem Project in Progress Previous Chapter The inking room was grungy and dim. Wessel was greeted as soon as he got through the door, by a man who sat back against a desk. “How's yer shoulder, little mate?” Wessel rolled his shoulder at the prompting of the greasy, gold-toothed tattoo artist, prompting a … Continue reading Golem Project Part 2

I might have garnered some looks as I crossed Bourbon Street for my daily visit to my favorite coffee shop, a thick newspaper tucked under one arm. Why would people look? Well, for one, it was the twenty-first century. Newspapers were antiquated, though I still had one delivered to my doorstep every Sunday. Secondly, my … Continue reading Timeframe

Wessel's hands began to sweat. … Continue reading Golem Project

Hello! I am still alive, still kicking. Just... going through some career reassessment at the moment, and getting back into Tabletop RPGs. It takes up a lot of my time. But hey, I wrote a silly fantasy snippet from a writing prompt, and I'm in the habit of sharing those, so here you go! MOON … Continue reading Moon Mystery

That short story I posted a month or so ago? It's a full-fledged novella now. I love the cover art. It was drawn out by Mason "Tailsteak" Williams.
