My wife and I aren’t the kind of people who go all out on each other for a holiday. Instead, we throw down big here and there whenever the want arises. Valentines Day weekend was just like any other in our house, with just a bit more of a theme. I grabbed her a couple…

This tree. The alien things this tree has seen and heard throughout the decades. I say alien, because I assume trees find us as such. None of us can assume to comprehend the comings and goings of trees. One good turn, and such. The park in which it resides began as a privileged playground over…

Snow-dumb. It’s a sensation that overtook me quite a few times as a professional driver. You spend so much time fixated on a field of white rolling along, mile-to-mile, and your brain blurs. I’d forgotten about it until a few minutes ago. Hell hath no career like truck-driving. I left my truck unlocked and wide-open…

We’re the laughing stock of the world (we’ve been for a decade), there’s winter weather on the way to Dallas, and Ted Cruz is already on a plane. I’ve played this game before. All bullshit aside, how are you? I was speaking with a neighbor a few moments ago about him getting gypped on web…

A long time ago, in a rural-on-the-cusp-of-suburban neighborhood not far away, I ran into my first real person from TV Land. I was a kid; I didn’t know better. I truly thought that since he was from California, he probably knew movie stars. We start out dumb, and some of us stay there. Throughout the…

I know many of the things I speak about on this page are extraordinary, but that’s always been my life. I make up things for a living, and I can’t make this stuff up. I mean, I could, but I don’t need to. It actually happens. My wife was on the couch doing some course…

Boy, you know it’s going to be a good one when the AI image generator won’t even touch it… It’s a chilly morning in Dallas. No birds are fighting each other outside my writing window for bits of seed. Also, the guy across the way who’s been roofing his own house all by himself isn’t…

Welcome back to Twin Oaks, my friends! This was my first fiction novel published back in 2010. In the last chapter, we lost poor Ryan Weldon and a couple of ambulance jockeys to a strange beast. Now, ten hours before that event, we meet our main character, Toby Liberman and his best friend Johnny Haynes……
