Quiet No Longer

-


Haven't been working as much as I'd like, but last night I just finished a new piece. Maiden's Prayer is set in Hollywood. I'm happy with it, for now, and looking forward to seeing it online.

Keith Rawson and I are working on our second collaboration.

I've been invited to contribute a bit of fiction for an anthology as part of a pitch for a new edition of a long out of print role-playing game. No guarantees, but it's nice to work on something a little different.

Signed up for The Watery Grave Invitational. One of the judges is Mr. Hard Luck himself, Dave Zeltersman.

Soon, the first part of a project I'm just starting with Brian Roe will be up at The Dogfight. It'll run for 13 bloody and sexy chapters.

Another long-unavailable story I wrote years ago is now up for free at Wattpad.

I placed my Hollywood fix-it man story years ago (long before Ray Donovan ) at the now-defunct Darkness Before the Dawn . Read it for free here .

I like Christopher Meloni (not as much and in a different way than Maria does). He was amazing on HBO's Oz . And Mariska Hargitay? Well, she's just absolutely stunning. But I can't watch SVU anymore. Alright, maybe I shouldn't say can't. I should probably say, I haven't watched it in a while and don't think I will again... On Monday, the Sexual Assault Resource Guide I wrote came back from the printers and was distributed to floor RA's, Residence Managers, the Health Center, the Student Advocates Office, and others on campus. I spent more time sweating over this thing, rewriting, having meetings, arguing about word choice (survivor or victim), and learning more than I ever wanted to know about the topic of sexual assault. All I've ever wanted is to wri
