  • There’s A Place Writers Go

    It’s a place where the weight of writers block and the firm hand of ones muse bear equal weight. A place born equally out of depression, uncertainty and elation.

  • Ebook Review: Jack Killborn/J. A. Konraths’s “Endurance (A Tale of Terror)”

    There’s a few things I always worry about when I do a review. I worry that I’ll come across as one of those who can’t do and therefore is left with nothing but criticism. I worry that I’ll end up giving a gushing review when I really didn’t like the material. I worry that I’ll…
