It’s the eve of my 35th birthday and I’m experiencing true mortality issues for the first time. I’m not sure why I’m letting 35 bother me, it is just a number after all, but the gray hairs I can see, and the pain I’ve been in lately are probably helping. Continue reading “Happy Birthday Eve…”
On a trip to PetSmart yesterday to get a new goldfish for my son Jack, I was dismayed to find a tank filled with Pacu. I know most of you just went “huh?” Most pet stores bill Pacu as “vegetarian Piranha,” but the truth is this little fish can be even deadlier than its Piranha cousin.

Vampires are horrible creatures that kill everything.
For my take on vampires, try ‘Darkness’, book one of the Wraith Chronicles, now available on iTunes for iBooks.
