In Wicked Times, Go West!

It’s been almost a year since I’ve made a blog post, and I apologize for that, y’all. Please let me be a bit vulnerable and honest here? I’m behind on my own 27 Kingdom Kickstarter rewards that so many of you kindly backed last year, and I apologize for that too. I was also contracted for… Continue reading In Wicked Times, Go West!

Children of Earth and Fire about to Lauch!

Hey! I’m finally remembering to get this blog post up–but CHILDREN OF EARTH AND FIRE has been accepted by Kickstarter! We officially launch Tuesday, August 26, to be exact.

It’s Easter for those who practice many of the varying types of Christianity. So, I figured I’d use one of the gravestone pictures I have. This was at the Glasgow Necropolis in Scotland, and I was saddened to see all the trash thrown into this tomb. As for the poem, I really don’t like this… Continue reading National Poetry Month, April 21

Another Scotland picture. This one was at Traquair House, where there were lots of random peafowl just wandering around. I really wanted to play with this photo because of the colors—even with the peacock not displaying. The poem…well, should be self-explanatory if you can read it around the corner of the page. Both are called… Continue reading National Poetry Month, April 20

Sometimes you want to help people you can’t help; sometimes you want to fix situations you can’t fix.  That’s what inspired this poem… “Heroes and Monsters.” I had a hard time working a picture to fit it, but I finally settled on one of my Scotland photos, which I called “Lost Lamb.”  While Scott and… Continue reading National Poetry Month, April 19

Well, there was a SNAFU posting, so apologies if this is a double. Augh… Anyway… Squeezing this in as deadlines squeeze in on me. Photo was taken at Brookgreen Gardens in South Carolina, one of my favorite places. Photo is titled “Butterfly without a Flower;” poem is “Butterfly on Stone.” Enjoy! Both poem and photo… Continue reading National Poetry Month, April 15

Still hanging out with the New England Speculative Writers at to the NESW Conference , but here’s an Ekphrastic pairing for you anyway! Photo was taken at the Glasgow Necropolis; I rather liked the view of the sun over this particular monument. The poem definitely needs work, but I am rather fond of the title… Continue reading National Poetry Month, April 13
