I’m trying to start a new series here on Type AJ Negative based on the Ask Me Anything premise. You ask a question and I answer it, either honestly or sarcastically or both. I will shoot for honesty every time, but sarcastic questions deserve sarcastic replies. To do that, I need questions from you, the readers of Type AJ Negative. If you have a question, feel free to drop it in the comments…

Lindsey Goddard is the host of this podcast and it is clear she had fun with this. My story is the first one on the podcast. Please, listen through to the end if you have time.

Along the Splintered Path was released in 2012 by Dark Continents Publishing. It was my first experience, as a writer, having a publisher take a chance with my stories to the extent of releasing a short collection of them. For me, it was a massive learning experience. Sure, I had worked with editors and publishers before but on a single story basis, not a book focused solely on me. It was, to be…

Last week I posted about the magazine Memento Mori Ink coming in August. You can read about that here: It’s Coming. My article The Hook of Relatability will be in it.  But that’s not all … My story, Duality, will appear in the collection, Napalm Psalms (by Lisa Vasquez).

What’s even more exciting is I get to participate in this with a new series about writing and what I know so far. The first issue is slated for the end of August. Check out the cover art below. I hope you will…

One thing I want to do this year is promote my work more. I’ve done a poor job of it over the last few years. Sure, I post stories here, and occasionally, I post information about a book but those have been sporadic at best. That means information about new books, old books, reviews and goings on. That also means more posts, some of them that will simply read like this one with a title similar to…

Little Witch There’s a witch at my door and she won’t go away. I saw her as I drove up the street, coming home from work. She wore a black dress, black cape and black pointy hat. She was short and slightly hunched over as if time had beaten her down. She turned her green face toward me. A wart sat on the tip of her long nose. She carried a white bag with a crudely drawn pumpkin face on it. The…

Ally sat on the floor in the bathroom between the bathtub and the toilet. She had moved the trash can before sitting down, knocking it over in her hurry. Tissues lay scattered on the floor around it, along with a used tube of toothpaste and a couple of toilet paper rolls. Her mascara made black streaks down her cheeks from the tears that fell from her eyes. Her knees were pulled to her chest. She…
