Continue reading →: Painted Monsters TOC
So, it’s been a big day for me. This morning I woke up to a notification that the Pseudopod production of my story “Night’s Foul Bird” had been mentioned on Entertainment Weekly! This is good timing, because “Night’s Foul Bird” is being reprinted in Painted Monsters & Other Strange Beasts, which is coming…

So, Masters of the Universe recently showed up on Netflix streaming, and I decided that I would live-tweet my viewing of it. Before diving in, I was under the impression that I had seen it before, back when it was new, which would have meant that I was about 6…

I’m saddened by the passing of Wes Craven, though I don’t think I ever followed his career assiduously enough to be considered a fan. Like any other horror buff my age, Scream was a big deal for me when it hit theatres, even though prior to it I’m not actually positive…

This is as much for me as it is for you. I started out 2015 with a modest goal: To watch more movies that I hadn’t seen before than I did ones that I had. Last year, I watched 269 movies, not including TV series, of which 123 were new to…

Continue reading →: Actively Seeking New Clients
Come September, I will have been working full-time as a freelance writer and editor for two years. When I first started out, I had more work than I could really keep up with, but since then I’ve had a couple of my bigger clients reduce the amount of work they’ve been…
