This isn't a short story. This happened. A DAY IN THE LIFE December 13, 2000 2 a.m. Woke up, fell out of bed. December in England is NO JOKE. Especially half-naked in the dark. My bare feet hit the freezing floor and I bumbled around, trying to gather clothes and wits. What the hell do …

Math always gave me anxiety. Like, big time. I wish some adult, at least ONE, had assured me it was okay not to be great at math. I didn't bloody care what time trains met if one left at 10 pm from Atlanta, and the other at 3:16 from Chicago. Like, seriously, who cares. But …
“Be still, Roland. Don’t move.” His mother spoke low. Roland pulled his energy in, trying to not be enticing in any way. But it didn’t work. “Dear God, no.” She trembled as the men circled her son. One, wearing a red coat, spoke strange, garbled words they couldn’t understand, then raised a giant axe. “Noooooo!” …

Now you've seen my official MINDER book trailer, I'll safely confess I attempted making my own video before Matthew Niemann saved me. My poor little effort was doomed from the start. I was on day 4 of the flu. We're talking FOUR days of hallucination fever. Hot sweats. Cold sweats. Debilitating fatigue. I could barely …
I'm sorry if this makes you barf. I can't think of any sane reason to write about roaches (on purpose) UNLESS it's a treatise asking God why they're here in abundance. With superpowers. Making everyone cringe. I mean, seriously. Want world peace? Throw a bunch of flying roaches in a small room at the UN. …
I don't know about you, but my kids are aggressive psycho lunatics if they consume too many electronics. By electronics, I mean television, tablets, video games, Minecraft, Netflix, youtube, or anything else that stabs their brains with jingly noise and flash images. Even those "learning" games. DIRECT correlation. The more they consume, the bigger jerks they are. And the …
For the most part, I'm a purist. No snickering, college friends. Hear me out. These days I eat clean, I really do. I avoid processed foods and medicine. I exercise. I make my own hummus and use aluminum free deodorant (yes, that annoying person). But this here's confession. You know that plastic cheese? The kind …
Watched "The Devil Inside" on Netflix last night. And . . . OH MY GOD. Have you seen this movie? Christopher and I clutched in a white-knuckle cuddle grip the whole time! I must've held my breath thru the film too, because my chest felt restricted by normal respiration once it finished. Fairly sure I …
People of the planet! I'm creating a giant, (geographically correct) wall of HAPPY and I NEED YOU! Yes, you! You there, sitting on the couch! You at work! You on the front porch! Irish! Sri Lankans! New Yorkers! Russians! Africans! South Dakotans! Londoners! Alsatians! You, taking a coffee break! You, on the toilet! (you shouldn't use …
Well, it's time. Our episode of "My Ghost Story" airs tomorrow night on A&E's Bio channel 8pm CST. You'll see why I write the creepy stuff I do. I myself won't get to watch it. I'm away this weekend because some kind stranger gifted me a getaway when they learned I was laid off....oh wait. …
