Cadillac Payback Crew: Charlie

I have been completely up in the air about what to share in the Caddy ‘verse today. I was undecided until about an hour ago. I have chosen, because I’m the author publishing my own stuff and I can make this decision, to share with you a glimpse of the only member of the crewContinue reading “Cadillac Payback Crew: Charlie”

Cadillac Payback Crew: Frederick

I’ve always been the kind of guy to instigate action. Call me a catalyst, but if you want to do something, don’t fuck around about it. I’m also the kind of guy who gets the same half-cocked response from a sleek and functional weapon as I do from a hot bitch. That’s why I alwaysContinue reading “Cadillac Payback Crew: Frederick”

Cadillac Payback Crew: Joshua

Business is slow at the restaurant. Today is the top of the week, two hours to close, and I’m standing behind a bar shaded by neon blue lights. It’s Jack’s first night open since Noah got jumped, and whether it’s because it’s Monday, or the rumors of the shooting, the place is dead. I haven’tContinue reading “Cadillac Payback Crew: Joshua”

Cadillac Payback Crew: Maria

**Cadillac Payback Second Edition available March 18, 2021** **Cadillac Payback: Rising Tide coming April 15, 2021** Charlie, if your spirit lingers, guide my hand, and bless the bullet. If it flies, it does to honor you.  I make a slow sigh as I cross myself, a dramatic play, I admit, as my guests and myContinue reading “Cadillac Payback Crew: Maria”

Cadillac Payback Crew: Isaiah

**Cadillac Payback Second Edition will be available through Amazon on March 18, 2021.** **Cadillac Payback: Rising Tide will be available through Amazon on April 15, 2021** I make the joint’s finale as hard and consuming as possible, with the hope that if it blasts me well enough, I can fade from this conversation. Maybe ifContinue reading “Cadillac Payback Crew: Isaiah”

Home for Wayward Writers, Sun and Moon

There’s something strange in the air this week at the Home for Wayward Writers. I’d be lying if I said strange wasn’t the norm for this little niche of the internet, but this is…intriguing. Chills sprawl along my skin though it’s not cold. Not at all. The air is hot. The sky outside the tallContinue reading “Home for Wayward Writers, Sun and Moon”

Home for Wayward Writers, the Den

It’s not exactly nerves simmering in my stomach this week when I enter the Home for Wayward Writers. Anticipation is a better way to put it. What will greet me on the other side of the door? I step inside. The first thing I notice is the rain pelting the tall windows in driving waves.Continue reading “Home for Wayward Writers, the Den”

Home for Wayward Writers, the Observatory

My nerves flutter as I pull open the door. Anticipation for what this week will bring feels like butterfly wings against my composure. Even so I smile as I enter. The room is empty and the windows are dark. The fireplace gives the only light, a soft orange that dances intimately across endless book spinesContinue reading “Home for Wayward Writers, the Observatory”

Home for Wayward Writers Grand Opening

I draw in a long breath in attempt to squash the nerves that are fluttering around in my stomach. No use in doubting myself now, I’ve already bought the place. I look down at the curling skeleton key in my right hand then back to the big, wooden door in front of me. First thingsContinue reading “Home for Wayward Writers Grand Opening”

Rainy Day Thoughts

As a writer it’s easy to get discouraged. Too often I think about how it took me twelve years to complete what I thought was the end of my Order of Crows series, and finally be working on publishing the sequel to Cadillac Payback. It’s all a matter of perspective. Rather than thinking about howContinue reading “Rainy Day Thoughts”
