You are no one. Engraved in ink across his arm, he had hit bottom.  Pathetic and lost.  It had been the worst thing to happen to him and his own fault.  Regrets he would have to live with the rest of his life. No one to turn to, he’d kept anyone who pretended to beContinue reading “VisDare 4: Steps”

So…my goal for the year was supposed to be edit.  A whole lot of editing.  As I ended 2012, I was working on a flashback in the 2nd Ulysses book and for some reason today I found myself wanting to return to it.  As when I was working on it before there was always somethingContinue reading “Ulysses Flashback”

((Wrote this for something else awhile back but for some reason didn’t post it.  May have been the length or maybe I just wasn’t happy with it.  But find myself wanting to post it now.)) (Don’t own the picture, found it on goggle)    His heart raced as if it was going to explode.  It wasContinue reading “Approaching Darkness”

Yes, this is a small continuation of Unexpected Storm. (Found the picture on the net) She crossed the snow covered yard, her tracks the only sign of life as she came to the icy road.  He continued to try to spin his way out of the small incline of the drive but he was onlyContinue reading “Unexpected Turn”

My entry into Meg McNulty’s Masquerade blog hop 🙂 And the picture I used as inspiration for my entry (funny it isn’t the picture that made me want to write for this blog hop). Tell No One! It was the first rule and the hardest to keep.  Nathan had spent the month since the mysteriousContinue reading “Moonlight Masquerade”

Be Inspired Blog Hop…  Howling Moon I said I was going to do this back in the summer for all of my current full manuscripts…I only did it for Ulysses and I figured it is time I should do it for Howling Moon.  Mostly because it is the novel I am concentrating on the mostContinue reading “Be Inspired Blog Hop… Howling Moon”

No Prompt….was just hit with a bit of inspiration this morning and felt like posting it….  Don’t own the picture, found it on goggle.  🙂 Unexpected Storm Snow fell at a perfect speed; the forecast had only called for overcast skies and a chance of flurries.  None were prepared for the coat that now covered theContinue reading “Unexpected Storm”

Because I am wanting to do something different for this blog in the upcoming year…  At one time in 2012 there was a plan, idea placed in my head to write something ongoing (well, this was with someone at the time).  But I’m revisiting that idea… I’m debating writing a series of ongoing flash fictionContinue reading “Ongoing”

Bad Santa Blog Hop:  Twelve Drinks (Don’t own the picture, found it on the web) The smell of bourbon was almost as intoxicating as the taste; Nick’s eleventh glass still wet his lips as he turned catching the attention of the waitress with his hearty smile.  Only four others were being entertained all dressed theContinue reading “Bad Santa Blog Hop: Twelve Drinks”

Visual Dare #32: Disobey  (For more of this weeks Visual Dare check the link) Marvin trudged through the snow, determined to get home a survivor of war, when many others perished.  They told him it was the harshest winter the kingdom had seen and he should wait until the snows cleared. He saw the horse comingContinue reading “Visual Dare #32: Disobey”
