We are in the midst of a wintry cold snap down here in the south right now, and it feels great! Last few days have been hot, so it’s nice to have some real fall weather for a change. It’s the perfect weather for a cup of hot chocolate, a warm fire, and a good…

What plans do you have going into this week? Our oldest kid is now of an age she wants to be part of the Halloween fun. Bad news is, not many neighborhoods around here do the trick-or-treating thing. Good news is, my favorite writing haunt does! The local coffee shop is doing a Halloween at…

Last week we were deep in the pumpkin spice. We’re still there, but now there’s a sprinkling of the spooky on top, to mix with the sweet cold foam and the cinnamon. First and foremost is a short horror piece from our one and only William Joseph “Hillbilly” Roberts! Black Creek — 60 Pages of…
