Monday News


Happy Monday, my friends. First, let me say apologize for being gone for so long. I needed to clear my head and my heart I guess it just makes me human…right?
So, where do I start…I do have a few books out on Amazon, I’ll post the links at the bottom of this post. This blog isn’t just going to be about the written word, but other things that I love, like movies, art, photography, contests, and zombies. Yes, you heard the last part right, I love zombies.
So as of today, I will be posting here every Monday. To kick things off I have to tell you about a new series I watched on Netflix it’s called, ‘Another Life’ it’s a space inspired series and the first season is 10 episodes long and let me tell you it’s intense, especially episode 3. Whoa, like I said I zombies and all things horror scare me, but the reason why zombies scare me is the most is the primal fear of being eaten.
Just imagining my stomach being ripped open so the undead can feast on my intestines isn’t something I want to have in my head, but I guess I do because I am working on a zombie novel. I must admit it’s fun. I do enjoy skating around on the darker side of things, yes, I still love romance and I will add that aspect to all my writing but to do both, write the light, along with the dark. That’s how life is though, isn’t it, light and dark?
I received some good advice from my older brother today, with things in my life finally coming into view I was feeling a bit overwhelmed. To go from one day of writing maybe a bit a day to coming back full strength within hours had me running around with panic racing through my body. The advice he gave me was simple. “Just do the first thing,” he says. “Don’t think about step two or three just do the first thing.” Those words rang true because it was like duh why didn’t I think about that? Just do the first thing. All the panic I felt in that moment melted away.  Isn’t it amazing how some words can make so much difference in someone’s life?
With the world spinning out of control and death becoming our new normal the world of zombies sounds far more stable then waking up to yet another group of killings. Scary for our children to not feel safe at school, Walmart, Church, and even their homes. I just want to know how much longer are we going to sit back here and take it. How many more lives do we have to lose before we act? Sorry but with everything going on in our fractured country I fear not only for the lives of my children, but I fear for all our lives.
Okay, don’t want to go dark right now but it’s a scary time to walk this planet. I would also like to have a movie club, just like a book club but with movies. I’ll give a title for us to watch than 30 days we can discuss it. Sound good? Below are all the places where you can find me, I can’t wait to meet you all.
