Not a Real Writer

Real writer? Oh, please. I’ve spilled more ink in 370 posts than most ‘major house’ darlings do in a lifetime. Writing’s not about some fancy imprint or a bookstore shelf—it’s about the grind, the words, the stories that hit harder than a troll’s ego. You think a logo from Penguin or a display at Books-A-Million makes a writer? Nah, it’s the fire in the keys, the late nights, the raw truth bleeding onto the page. Keep your gatekeeping, troll—I’m out here building worlds, one post at a time.Continue Reading

Not a Team Player

Trump won. I voted for him. No, not apologizing. I am not a team player. I was bullied as a kid. Abused by a school teacher. Heard the admonition that because of me, my parents were miserable. My bad attitude has an origin story. Over two-thousand years ago a dissidentContinue Reading

Irredeemable Cover

In: Fiction

For the three sisters, Ophie, Inger, and Neesha, Charlie is irredeemable. He will never be forgiven. That Charlie is likely a baby Daddy to Neesha makes no never mind. She blames Charlie for everything wrong in her life. Charlie is innately racist to his dark core. Yes, the three womenContinue Reading

Special Price Just For You

In: Commentary

It’s a trope, “special price just for you.” It means you are about to pay too much for junk. Neesha’s brother had a line on a Nissan Frontier. He was going to buy it and drive it to the farm. All good, right? Nah. Maybe other writers can get paidContinue Reading
