    New York Obsession

    I didn’t know until late in the game that I wanted the second book in the series to focus on Katie’s journey. To be quite honest, I didn’t know until late in the game that there would even be a sequel. In comparison to A Taste of Home, which was written in a place similar…

  • Outdated Humor? I Got You.

    When “A Taste of Home” was first published (I actually printed it out and mailed it to my old publisher in New York), I was a Sheriff’s Office conservative moonlighting as a left-leaning, ghost-hunting, potty-mouthed Independent. As I’m re-reading through it again all these years later, I think some of the humor has gotten a…

    Trouble? For Them.

    So many fuzzy memories from when this book was written. Lots of clear ones I won’t speak of as well. Writer stuff. “Someone call DC and tell them this is how you write a female hero character!” – Lisa Lee Tone, Bibliophelia Templum Angel Burns is a young firefighter with a shrouded history. During a…

  • A Chilly Stroll Through Bishop Arts

    It’s my kind of Saturday living in an artsy-fartsy, tourist neighborhood; ten degrees above freezing. That means, most of the poons are in hiding; either playing Call of Duty or bitching about him playing Call of Duty. Just take the pit bull outside to take a dump, wash his car, and exhibit a few more…

  • Welcome To Hutchinson Ridge!

    When I came out of my Starving Zoe slump, I began thinking about a western novella series based around the events of my legendary Splatter Western. Yes, Starving Zoe is legendary. Famous people have read it…and they’re all just as screwed up now as you all are! I had an idea about a time-jumping cowboy…

    Small Town Blues

Toby Liberman is nearing the end of his rope. After a fateful confrontation with his wife’s lover, he is chased into the woods only to…

  • A Taste of Home Chapter One, Read & Written by Rev. Dare Cloud.

    I finally found time to get this project going. Sure, I could tweak the audio and upload this to Audible, but I don’t want you all to have to pay Amazon to listen. Also, I refuse to jump through all the hoops Amazon requires. I like to tell stories. The end. Chapter two is coming…

  • And On This Note, Goodnight

    I remember writing the first chapter of this book. I was in the sleeper of a 10-Speed Manual Freightliner converted into a 39-foot box-truck. It was loaded to the gills with millions of dollars in fine art. I wasn’t sleeping, because I had this crazy idea in my head about a foxy female firefighter getting…
