• Tangled Moon: Part Three Her head felt funny as soon as he’d said her name. It took a moment for it to clear. “How do you know my name?” “Let’s get you to my car and then we can talk about it.” “Oh sure,” she said, “I get into cars with strangers all the time.”…

  • Train. I’ve never actually traveled by train, so for all I know it might suck and I’d hate it, but I’d like to give it a go sometime. It seems slow and leisurely. Maybe I’d do some reading or listen to music. I could just watch the world pass me by… Hmmm… That sounds fantastic!

  • Are you superstitious?

    Yes. 😉 I’m so superstitious that I wear bats and skulls and spiders on my person on a regular basis. I write stories about werewolves and vampires. I look forward to Friday the thirteenth… What’s the direct opposite of superstitious? What would you call a person that smiles at skulls and thinks bats are adorable…

  • A cat. Probably a house cat, like my Salem in the above picture. He thinks he’s Puss in Boots as you can see by the way he’s posing with that dagger. (Don’t worry, it’s just a letter opener. The only sharp objects I let him play with are his claws). I don’t talk much unless…
