Thomas Porter is a true word smith. His writing is honest and raw and I’ve published many of his essays and poems on my other website lilacduville.com. I’m always happy to share his words. You see, Thomas is my prison pen pal. I started writing him in February 2021. In time, friendship grew. We always […]
The Bewitched Mirror Series – an Epic Fantasy
Many years ago I wrote a book, based on a side character in Aurélie, Gates of Immortality. Cecilia is a witch-werewolf who appeared as Aurélie’s nemesis-turned-ally, and I found her so intriguing that I decided to write her story. It became a rather long book, and something about it never sat right with me, until […]

The Rise of the Stone – Prequel to the Path of the Stone – Excerpt
In my previous post about The Rise of the Stone – Prequel to the Path of the Stone, I shared a small sneak peek of this book I am working on. Now I’d like to share a bigger excerpt. This is a part of chapter 1 and it details the dream I had a few […]
Pre-Order Fantasy Book: The Rise of the Stone – Prequel to The Path of the Stone
Until now, I haven’t made a pre-order available so early, but so far I have also never written two books that were both based on dreams and both about the same characters. In November 2020 I had a dream about me battling flying metallic snakes, and when I woke up I immediately wrote it down. […]
Should I Write a Prologue? My Prologue for my Upcoming Release
There are writers who write and then there are writers who spout out rule after writing rule on social media. You can’t do this, you can’t do that. I hate this, I don’t like that. There seems to be an endless list of what we should and shouldn’t do, but in all honesty, a story […]
The Path of the Stone – Time Travel, Harpies, Pirates; Fantasy Adventure Books for Teens and Adults
So close, I am so close to finishing the manuscript for The Path of the Stone – Time Travel, Harpies, Pirates; Fantasy Adventure Books for Teens and Adults. The Path of the Stone is a story I started writing last year, based on a dream I had. As soon as I woke up, I sat […]
Aurélie Survival – Interview with a Different Vampire
“These are more the vampires of Bram Stoker than the cheesy vampires of this century,” claims one Amazon reviewer. The book Aurélie Survival has earned several 5 star reviews, so I thought it was time to ask the bloodsucker in person some questions. Aurélie was alive during the times of the French Revolution and was […]
Paranormal Romance Novels – Surviving Among Vampires and Werewolves
Paranormal romance novels are everywhere, I’m not even sure how many hundreds or thousands are published every day or week. It’s funny how I never wrote in the paranormal genre before but I always wanted to, and when – years later – I finally did, it had suddenly become a popular, and I suppose a competitive […]
Short Real Horror Stories – Right Here at Home
Remember those freakish monsters in Dean Koontz’s books? Crazy monkeys that attacked humans, monstrous insects that were out to kill? What if this was real? OK, there are no insects here that even resemble the giant cockroaches from Men in Black I or any of Dean Koontz’ fantastical creatures, but living in the semi-desert it […]
