1940's Hollywood detective Sam Rock might survive Summer's lure, the last days of Autumn and winter's grave, but he will struggle to welcome spring. THE SEASONS OF SAM ROCK is noir novel with a wry sense of humor. In it, Sam must find Summer Banning's missing brother, solve Autumn Moran's vicious murder and discover who's buried in an unmarked grave freshly dug in the back corner of an unkempt cemetery come winter. Driving his black 1938 Chevy coupe and sporting his ever present fedora, Sam moves with ease between the swank parties and the seamy-side of the glamorous Hollywood facade....

Not for the faint of heart, the horrors of the Castleweaver's exploits lie couched in the intricacies of poetic form. Eldreth is a master weaver. His tapestries adorn the halls and bedchamber walls of the richest and grandest in the surrounding kingdoms. He is also a wizard whose talents over-shadow those of his aging mentor, and Eldreth has turned to the dark arts to exact revenge on those he deems his enemies. Deep in the lower reaches of his castle, his fingers fly across his looms, weaving more than wool and flax and dye into his tapestries, entwining the very souls of his victims in the...

Caleb Jenkins lives a simple life in 1897 Aurora, Texas. That is until he encounters a cigar-shaped silver metal object in the sky on his way to school and meets Atti. "He's not from around here," Caleb tells his mother when she asks about his new friend. What he doesn't tell her, is that Atti comes from a point in space beyond Orion's Belt (although he's been living on Mars) and flies one of those "airships" many of Caleb's neighbors have been seeing lately.

Sometimes the past is best left undisturbed, as Megs and Char discover. An old cottage by the beach proves more than photogenic to the magazine photographer and her writer friend. They become entangled in nightmares (complete with, perhaps, psychic wounds - perhaps not) and ghostly visions they cannot explain. Nor can they explain the eccentricities of their colleague as he spies an antique toy fire truck the women bring back after a return trip to the cottage. They wonder as he makes a hasty exit from their boss's office only to turn up later and disrupt their lives forever. Unknown to them,...

On January 1, 2014, I posted my first Haiku to Twitter. I have posted at least one every day since then. So far, that's over 900 and counting. I originally started posting because I wasn't dead. I vowed to post one a day for however long I had left. I'm still not dead. (I have an underlying heart condition that seems to be getting less lethal as the days, weeks, months and years roll on although I know it's not.) Someday it will get me, and I will post no more. Until then, I will continue to post (as Haiku) my current thoughts on life, the universe and everything. The Haiku are not always...
