I suppose it is only fitting, this still being the period of the new year, that I am starting several projects. One of which is the vampire podcast, Bloody Tokyo, that I can’t seem to stop talking about. However, the most recent addition to the never-ending list of thing is want to do, is a … More New Works Begin!
“Wake up.” The bard’s eyes fluttered open. It was still dark with just a hint of light around the edges. The forrest was quiet and the pre-dawn air still held on to its evening chill.

Anyway, like I said, I think it is pretty fun and want to share it … More Sand, Sea and Stone Excerpt: A Fight Scene
Here we are. It is the beginning of 2017. The morose days of self-reflection that came with the end of the old year are over. Now comes the self-reflection that comes with the new year. The good news is that it is not morose, however it is rather impatient. I know that I am hard … More Feeling Stagnant
