      Greetings from the edge, I got some last-minute feedback on The Bone Garden, so I’m thinking about reworking it in a few places. The main thing I keep hearing is that readers want more of it.

      Greetings from the edge, Well, here we go, I guess. I’m reading On Writing, and the ineffable Stephen King is very clear: if you want to be a writer, you need to do two things. Read a lot and write a lot. He recommends applying arse to chair, hands to keyboard, and not stopping until…

      Greetings from the edge, I’m on a lot of painkillers right now, so putting words on the page is proving difficult. I get days like this from time to time. As a small glimpse behind the curtain, I’m on some fairly strong medication for a chronic pain condition, and there are days when the words…

      Greetings from the edge, I’ve been busy in the export business lately. By which I mean I have been exporting everything I’ve eaten or drunk with such enthusiasm that even Regan MacNeil would reach for the Pepto-Bismol. I have been blowing chunks, is what I’m saying.

      Greetings from the edge, I had to be an actual adult today and focus on the computer repair side of my life. I’m currently in talks with OSAM Websites about taking over the running of Yell from my site, Rob the computer guy. Essentially, it means I regain ownership of the business site and, in…

      Greetings from the edge, Working on “11 Horror Movies That Get Scarier the More You Think About Them” still, got a few entries done now, and it seems to be shaping up pretty well. I’ve been a bit tied up with flesh space stuff today, but I am working behind the scenes on a few…

      Greetings from the edge, Things are moving at a decent pace on my work-in-progress article, currently titled 11 Horror Movies That Get Scarier the More You Think About Them. It’s all about films that are unsettling on the surface, but become far more horrifying later on, when you’re brushing your teeth before bed and the…

      Greetings from the edge, Busy working on a few projects right now, I’ve got enough feedback now on The Bone Garden that I’ll be ready to submit it for rejection by the sci-fi magazines in a week or so. I just want to get a few critiques on the second half. Once I have that,…
