So…I’m busting my arse through the final stage of the revisions and some changes I applied made on entire chapter obsolete. I highlighted the piece, raised my shaking index finger, muttered a series of short, pathetic sobs I attempted to stifle, then hit, “Delete”…and promptly broke down in complete disarray. All that work, all that […]

The Scrap Book
Part of writing has always been organizing the writing. But there is a big difference between storing and sorting a book, and storing random “snippets” as they come to you. It seems silly to save an entire MS Word .DOC to my computer all for, literally, a five word sentence. So this is my Scrapbook: […]
Chapter One of Bane
CHAPTER 1 Her song found me on the road and pulled at me like something out of a dream like when you know you have to find the end to a tunnel. So you look, but you’re not sure what it is you’re looking for. I knew what I had to find, the moment […]
Bergen Beyond
Bergen shoves his way into the little corner of Angela’s website he has preserved for himself. A bottle of Guinness clutched, too comfortably, in his hand.

Into The Woods Movie Review
Shove over, Bergen! I need to vent! I just wrote a review for the movie, Into The Woods by Stephen Sondheim. I grew up with the movie starring Bernadette Peters and have seen two live versions one of which was done by Ithaca College. The other was on an off-Broadway show in New York. My […]
“I have an announcement!” Bergen says.
Announcing the writing of Bergen’s own series because his ego is too large to fit in my 160,000 word fantasy.
Deleted Chapter 51 – Author Edition
Here it is. My first deleted chapter. This is a chapter I wrote to explain the history behind my story. When you factor in the amount of research I did, I would guess I spent nearly six months writing this chapter. But alas, nearly five months out from publishing, I have decided to cut it. […]
