Ever since I was a small child, I pose a desire to express myself. I opted into becoming a painter, artist, teacher, friend, husband, and more. It was in 2013 that I discovered I could write. I used to enjoy writing poetry in high school and I was editor of the newspaper. But that wasn't what I call expressing myself, like I do with my paintings and drawings. No I didn't think I could write, because I was a slow reader, and I had, and still have trouble spelling. LOVE technology.. It set me free and I started writing, and I won't stop 'til the day I die.
          
          Then..... I will be writing somewhere new, new world, new me, new story.

There are now two complete novels uploaded. I am working on "The Killer Within" and have many chapters uploaded. This story is entered into the Watty's so hope to see something good.

I uploaded my novel, Blood Bath, today. The novel has been published but I wanted to make it available to everyone here. It's a fast moving story revolving around teen abuse and suicide; s heavy subject that needs to be talked about.

Worked on the back yard today and wrote  1000 words. Part four is now online, so I hope you read it and please comment and share if you like.

Roger Doc., part four of "The Killer Within" has been published. I'm keeping the story on track but I can always use your input. After all, I'm doing this for both of us. I have something to say and if you like... you have something to read... and comment about. I, Harry, just want these killings to stop. "Don't worry, I, Duane, am OK... I think."

I hope to have The Killer Within done by the end of July. I have it plotted and just need to WRITE. I hope you enjoy the dark and somber story-line. I've been asked if it is based on real life and I confess, I did have a recuring dream about buried bodies in my back yard. I was a teenager and I would wake in a sweat, having dreamed that one of the bodies I buried, was unearthed by my family. I try to psychoanalyze my dreams, but  sometimes I need to just let them go. Perhaps they were meant to be someones else s dream and I intruded on them.
          
          Remember, I need an Editor and If I had the money, I would re-edit all of my novels, but then, I'm an artist... not starving, but just getting by.

Wanted for murder... The story of my life in real time, not prime time. I love stepping into my characters shoes and sometimes they become me... Or I them. READ ME... HELP ME get away from THEM....

I posted chapter 7 of Death In The Spa. The story is going as I planned, but there are a few twists in the story line that I have to work out. 
          
          Also I have signed up for The Rust City Book Convention, a super casual convention and book signing in Troy, MI, with the intent to introduce readers to new authors as well as the chance to interact with current favorites.

Thank you for adding the phobia killer to your reading list. :) Can't wait to find out if you enjoy it or not. (You know, since your reading list title basically said that you would be reading it soon.)

Chapter is 6 is now finished. I'm getting into the meat of the story and Colton will be facing another death "murder?" by chapter 13. I love knowing how the story will develop. It's just a lot of work forcing myself to make time to write. Not sure how some authors can promote their work, work full time at another job, and yet write thousands of words a day. They must be super human. 
          I  hope the story stands on it's own merits even though it is a sequel. It's important that a sequel isn't totally dependent on the first book. Readers come into a story one novel at a time, and they don't always start with the first of a series. 
          Again, please read, share and let your friends know that I am open to comments, tips and constructive criticism.
