“Mirror Mirror: Halloween Party of the Century” This paranormal tale started as a short story until the Relentless Wench Muse whispered into my ear, “Finish this one, Mate!” So we did, and I have added another addiction to my list – writing paranormal thrillers. Sandy Tillman, the protagonist in Mirror Mirror, coasts comfortably through life […]
071425 – Author Thoughts on the Entity Named Paul in “Mirror Mirror” I shared thoughts on Dimensions used in Mirror Mirror in the 071225 post, so I won’t revisit that beyond placing this story’s Entity in the eleventh dimension, meaning the Entity can move between dimensions and parallel universes at will.

071325 – Author Thoughts on Time Travel in “Mirror Mirror” I mentioned yesterday that I was not a fan of stories where time travel was the primary focus.

What I accomplished was proof that becoming an Indie […]

“MIRROR MIRROR: Halloween Party of the Century” Following is a four-chapter sample of “Mirror Mirror.” Please enjoy! 1 – No Way “…and besides my invitation to go straight to Hell, how did you get this number?” Sandy’s question seethed with boiling anger. “Well, maybe you should try answering your cell and stop ignoring my texts,” […]
Mirror Mirror: Halloween Party of the Century is a testament to the unpredictable journey of storytelling. It all started with a party celebrating Halloween as a modest 3,000-word short story eight years ago. In early 2023, my relentless Wench Muse put her knees in my chest, leaned down, and whispered, “There’s more story to tell, […]
