You all know by now I'm a huge fan of C.S. Boyack. From the moment I read "The Hat", I was hooked, and after "Viral Blues" I concurred that these stories about a snarky talking hat and his symbiotic friendship with 'gal-with-a-heart-of-gold' Lizzie St Laurent, were my favourite stories in Boyack's impressive repertoire. So, when... Continue Reading →
I've recently become a big fan of C. S. Boyack (The Hat grabbed me, and Viral Blues sealed the deal). So when I had a chance to slip The Experimental Notebook of C. S. Boyack to the top spot of my TBR pile, I did. A whole book of short stories from the twisted brain... Continue Reading →
We start to get to know one another pretty well here in our little community. We share stories that come from the heart, putting our purest, deepest selves down on "paper". But there are probably some basic things about each other that we don't know - the sorts of things we'd probably tell each other in the... Continue Reading →
This one really appealed to my warped sense of humour! This one really spoke to me. Maybe because I've spent so much of the last few years learning Cowboy.... especially "Don't squat with your spurs on"... sounds like something Grace would say...
This one's for Mae!
Eternal Road: The Final Stop - John Howell When I picked up this book, I expected a sombre tale about passing over and a journey to the other side. I didn't expect a rollicking adventure through time! John Howell's Eternal Road is one of the more unique titles I've come across in recent memory, pitting... Continue Reading →

I wanted to have read Voyage of the Lanternfish by C. S. Boyack before the release of Boyack's latest adventure, 'H.M.S. Lanternfish'. And I almost made it (I was a few days behind in finishing)! This way, when I started reading reviews about 'H.M.S', I wasn't going to have any spoilers for 'Voyage' sneak up... Continue Reading →

Not a laugh, but some good advice!

I ain't had a break in over a year, no end in sight, no holiday near. Home to work, work to home, my world has shrunk to this tedious drone. Quarantine eating has added the pounds, clothes stretched tight across my rounds. Sure a face mask means no makeup, but glasses promise a surefire fog-up.... Continue Reading →
After reading - and thouroughly enjoying - C.S. Boyack's romp, "The Hat", I knew I had to follow up as soon as possible with "Viral Blues". Going into "Viral Blues", I expected another funny, entertaining (and deadly) adventure featuring Lizzie St Laurent and her talking hat. What I didn't expect was an esemble piece featuring...

BEWARE, SPOILERS MAY LURK... Those of you who have been following my blog for a while know I like my fiction pretty dark. However, I do enjoy a good laugh (especially if the humour is pretty dark). So, when I finally got around to reading C.S. Boyack's 'The Hat', it didn't take more than the first few... Continue Reading →
So, I've had a busy week publicizing the first installment of The Armageddon Showdown series - Guns of Perdition (my debut novel), and I'd love to say thanks to everyone who has supported my release! But, aside from promotion, I've also been doing a bit of work on Book 2 - Sins of the Lamb.... Continue Reading →
My God, the things we writers research! I caught myself today looking up mid-Victorian era menstrual hygeine. I had to stop for a moment and wonder 'am I really looking up how women in olden days managed their periods? Yup, sure am!' This got me thinking about some of the other things I've researched recently, such... Continue Reading →
Also actual story of my life!
This one's not necessarily INFJ related but damn, so important!
What goes into a person to make them a dark horror speculative fiction writer? I often wonder how I ended up liking the things I do; the dark, twisted, downright macabre stuff. Like vampires, necromancy, the devil, monsters, and anti-heroes. All this stuff repeatedly shows up in my writing. Then, today, I got my answer.... Continue Reading →
The sweet comfort of home. The bliss of instant solitude. A turtle’s life is wonderful.
Thank God it's Friday. Here's a few laughs to get you primed for the weekend!
It’s terrifying. Horror among horrors. So small and insignificant, yet so painful... my bank balance.
This one's just for Mae...
I don't think words are necessary....
A few random funnies to brighten your day (and of course some are INFJ related)!
What words really honk you off? Words that are used out-of-context that make you want to scream. Or words for their very own weird, unknown reason, get under your skin? Or maybe, they're made up words adored by the masses that just steam your buns... Following are a few of my least favourite miscreant words:... Continue Reading →
As always, I've been on the lookout for some INFJ Funnies and found some that not only tickled my bones but made me say "Oh, that cuts a little close"!
This story is in response to the May #Writeprompt over at Myths Of The Mirror... I wasn't going to partake this month (as my muse has deserted me), however, I got a little shot of confidence from a dear beta reader recently, and found a bit of muse lurking in the deepest recesses of my...

Long time readers will know I'm a big fan of the Myers Briggs Types Indicators and that I myself am a rare, delicate little stinging-nettle, otherwise known as 'the INFJ'. I haven't shared any INFJ funnies in a while, but came across a few while browsing Pinterest that I thought were too good not to... Continue Reading →
I find this absolutely fascinating and delightful. Read the below article, and then I dare you to write or say something out of order... "Oh no, it's a black, hairy, big spider!" So wrong.
Truer words have never been spoken ...
