Alien Arm- A Short Story
Alien Arm Fuck. I wake up, and my left hand is numb. I’m not saying my arm has never gone to sleep before. My hand, fingers, forearm even, yeah, it happens. But it’s only ever halfway asleep, you know? It’s the usual pins and needles when I sleep with it under my pillow or my…

My Brain- friend or foe
Fuck your mind. Yup, someone said that to me once. And not in a cool, “fuck your mind is amazing,” type of way. Nope, it was, “fuck your mind is just a mess.” I don’t deny this. I live in it, so take it from me, it is messy up there. But sometimes when it’s…

I’m Nervous
And that’s exactly what I need. My first book signing is coming up, in just over twenty four hours. My first one is at ‘The first bookstore ever’ in Edmonton, Alberta and the second is in my childhood town, St. Albert, AB. So to say I’m nervous, is quite literally an understatement. I visit Edmonton…

Pigeon to Dove
I took a road trip to pick my daughter up after her summer visit down south. On my drive, I brought the novel that I had just published because this is how I’m doing my marketing by getting pictures of all these neat places with my book. I figured it was something fun and different.…

Perception or Purpose
Full disclosure, this is the second time I’m writing this post since the original did not save. Damn you, technology. I will try to capture my initial essence, but as with anything done twice, it will always change. Also, because of the frustration I just endured for the last ten minutes after realizing all that…
