Dodging Storms, Slinging Spells
We managed to avoid the worst of Hurricane Isaias. Earlier in the week it had been aimed almost directly at my town, and I’d planned accordingly. Spent three days in prep work to make sure everything was ready to go, while dealing with the side effects of medicine I needed for an ear infection (Joy!).…

And Then a Viking Karl Walked into Publix…
I’ve been spending my Sunday afternoons at a nearby Publix with an upstairs food court, writing before going to get the week’s groceries. There I was, driving through the rain, about to make the turn in, when I see him: a man in a mail hauberk, helmet with a veil made of chain, fur cloak,…

Exiled… to a Trailer Park?
If anyone ever wants to know if a combination flu and stomach virus is fun, I can assure you it is not. Last weekend was… a bit of a waste for my household, in more ways than one. My wife and I were most affected by it. Neither of our daughters experienced the gastric distress,…

Musing in the Black Hills, Writings of the Trailer Park Thrills
Well, I’m here. Somewhere in the Black Hills near Deadwood. On a job, a rare one that takes me so far from home. One that lasts all day (14+ hours) for about five days but leaves downtime in the late evenings and early mornings provided I don’t oversleep, which isn’t a problem for me on…

How do you fix something when it breaks?
Even worse, how do you fix everything when the universe seems to be out to keep you busy with repairs? Between drainage issues, storm damage, and motorcycle repairs, there always seems to be something taking my time away from publishing/writing, spending time with the family, or chewing up the miles on one of the bikes.…

Ready To Stroll Down To The Dark Carnival ?
Welcome back! The Trailer Park missed you! Halloween is our number one holiday here at Raven Central. Candy, costumes, and laughs all around. And this year, we’re taking a step out of the Trailer park to visit the Dark Carnival and all of the clowns waiting in the shadows are just dying to meet you.…

Halloween Week is Here!
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…

Spooky Season is Definitely Here
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…

This Magick is Wyld!
Now that we’re deep into October and everyone is awash in pumpkin spiced everything (whether we want to or not), the weather is finally starting to cool down here. At least in the early mornings and late evenings. Daytime is still good pool weather, and we’re blessed to have a set of neighbors with kids…

Convoy of Chaos is Trucker Approved!
Convoy of Chaos was featured in the Trucker Man Reads YouTube channel hosted by Graham Bradley. Thanks, man! We’re glad the anthology met with your approval. It was a blast to put together, as was the original anthology we did for the Car Warriors: The Autoduel Chronicles universe, Go Hard or Go Home. Both have…
