21 Today, well soon. To Robbie.

Happy Birthday to a young man whom I have known for his entire life. Well damn near anyway. For this time around I dedicate this posting to Robbie Parker, soon to turn 21, I can’t remember being that young. I really can’t!

For you Robbie, seeing how I can’t be down there for your celebration, I present to you this story. I understand that it is an open page and anyone can read it but when you read it you can say that this was is dedicated to you.

And it is kind of a dark story and doesn’t really have a happy ending so don’t take it as a precursor of your life… actually it’s not the best story for a guy who’s just entering the best years of his life, it’s probably a bit of a downer.

Oh well, hopefully you think it’s a good story and makes you want to make sure that your volume is thick with mis-adventures when you wander alone in the library of the damned looking for An Open Book. Bwah hahahaha.

Back From Whence I Came

It has been a long time between drinks for my Blog. I think that after getting the first volume out of my trilogy I just needed a break. So I took one.

The problem was getting back on the horse. It wasn’t a case that it had thrown me and I was scared to get back on, it was a case that I was just really saddle sore and needed to recover for a while.

Well I have done that, and at the start of the year my apathy to the written word faded like smoke through the trees. I suddenly felt the need and the desire to write again and to write a lot. The gears in my head were churning out ideas faster than I could put them to paper and the characters and events were unravelling faster than I could type (not that that’s hard).

So here we go, writers block be damned. I have gone back to the simple things in life. Stories to make you wonder, stories to bring fear, stories that I have fun writing and I hope you all have fun reading. So take this one as this year’s first offering: The Last Thank You.
