I love story. All story. Books, television, movies…even campfire stories. I am addicted to story. But, until 2009, I completely disregarded one type of story: Anime. No, please don’t run away. There is a reason why a fantasy writer is talking about anime. Truth is, today most children are watching anime. I grew up with […]
The Adventures of Elisereth and Anbethturil
At 4,929 words (and growing) I will be breaking this up into 700 word chapters and posting this under my blog within the first week in May…or perhaps today (1 May 2015) if I’m looking for something to do. I have only broken up the first two chapters and have more work to do on […]
Into Bergen’s World
“Come on, Angela,” Bergen says taking my hand. “Baby steps. You don’t have to write a perfect chapter, just…try stepping into the world.” I nod and study the stubble on Bergen’s chin and the black of his eyes. “Very well,” I say. Bergen fits his fingers between mine and pulls me back into third century […]
What To Watch
Anime has three top animes fans call “The Big Three.” One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach. There is an anime war currently taking place among fans who are divided among these top three. Me? I adore One Piece and Naruto almost equally. I love One Piece more than Naruto only because One Piece was my first […]
My Top Five
In addition to the “Three Big Ones” in anime (One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach), here are the top five animes I recommend. Death Note – If you are an intellectual, I can not recommend Death Note enough. If you enjoy philosophy or ethics, watch Death Note. If you enjoy Russian literature, Rand or Tolstoy, watch […]
My Philosophy Blog
My dear reader! I have it! Philosophy! I know philosophy! A friend of mine uses his bio to explain his philosophy. I loved the idea and wanted to do something similar, but I realized that a single article couldn’t begin to cover my philosophy because it is a constant exploration with me! It is something […]
I Am
Hello again, Dear Reader. I have a ten-year-old son with anger issues. A lot of anger issues. Maybe someday I’ll go into those issues and I’ll tell you about the road he and I have taken together to get us here. Today, I want to talk about the conversation I just had with him. This […]
Dear Reader
Frequent visitors to my site will have noticed I changed my layout over the past two months. I’ve condensed stories for easier reading. I’ve condensed the menu into five simple categories. I’ve cleaned up the format on my home page that I use for my news and recent updates. Every change I’ve made is with […]
Bergen’s Chapter from “Broken”
This is Chapter 41 of “Broken.” Yes, Bergen found his way into “Broken,” (although I call him “Ian” in Broken for personal reasons). This Chapter is the only one through Bergen’s PoV so I decided to post it as a treat! Enjoy, you Bergen lovers! Broken Chapter 41 I followed Elizabeth out the door, […]
Bergen Abducts the Author
The lights are out. The bar feels…different. Angela conducts the infamous shifty-eyed inspection: left, right, left. Bergen is nowhere in sight, but the tension weighs too heavily on her shoulders. Something is most definitely up. She takes one step, and the 240-pound Viking prince plow-drives the writer to the floor and all goes dark. * […]
