I rendered the 3D portion of the cover in DAZ3D Studio using the Genesis model. Postwork and titling were done in Serif PhotoPlus X5. The title font is Showcard Gothic.... Continue Reading →
Here's a synopsis of my debut fantasy novel, "Love After Death." That's still a working title, but I'm thinking more and more that I'll keep it. See what you think.

The troll reached the wizard first, and was told that to receive the wizard's advice, he must pass a test. The test was to stand for as long as possible on one... Continue Reading →
About 5400 words, Parental Guidance Suggested Jimmy kicked aimlessly at a snow drift and looked with a smug grin at Emma, who sat with her face in her hands and her young tush on the cold concrete of the stoop. Her shoulders quivered with each sob. "You're not a baby anymore," Jimmy said, wiping his... Continue Reading →
So I understood how Alice felt when she fell down that stupid rabbit hole. Except that she wasn’t freezing, and all she had to do was wake up. I wished I could just wake up. This was strange enough to be a dream, but it hurt so bad all over, no way it was a... Continue Reading →
