What a wonderful Christmas. Now it’s back to the mission aside from the move. At my wife’s persistence, I am at work on a third collection of horror shorts. Everything’s a trilogy these days, am I right? I have the title. I have nine stories already done. 107 pages and counting. I’m treating this like my open mike days, going all out to make you remember me and what I’m all about. I needed that long sleep last night. I have the new Spirit World album and Godzilla grinding at my elbow. They’re waiting on the reaper, who’s already knocking at my door with dark inspiration. Let’s ride!
