Here is approximately 100 – 150 words from a randomly selected original piece for your enjoyment. These samples can include excerpts from my all my WIPs and my Eternal Curse Series, but only as works in progress (not the final products).

Eternal Curse: Battleground chapter 4 (wip)

I approached the man trying to distract him, which I did, but not in the way I’d planned. When the gunman noticed me walking towards him, he became startled at my appearance. He turned and fired his gun without even looking. The young couple took the opportunity to run away in the opposite direction. The gunman fired twice; one shot hit the viewing portal of a transport parked next the curb and the other shot hit me. I hadn’t been shot in over seventy-five years. I’d forgotten how it felt. The bullet sped through the air making contact with my skin, causing it to stretch and bruise. The shot was fired close enough that when the bullet finally stopped, it lay rested in an indentation on my arm.

A Day in My Life: Dec. ’13: Holidays and Birthdays

dayNlife

You may or may not find this surprising, but as a writer I’ve never been much of a journaler (I like making up words). I’ve always kept writing, sketching, and poetry notebooks, but I’ve never really liked writing about myself. This monthly post is my attempt at rectifying that and is an opportunity for me to get a little personal, as I share a single event from my life.

******************************************************************************

December 2013 – Holiday and Birthday Parties

June is a month that is so swamped with birthdays and other celebrations that I always feel a little overwhelmed, but December is a little different. There are several birthdays to be celebrated and then, of course there is Christmas, but it seems to be a little more laid back. So for this month of December, I say happy birthday to many, including my mother and nephew, and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.
