Blog postOver the past year, Nordic Press released a series of anthologies they called the Mortem Cycle. The anthologies were Death House, Death Ship, and Death Beyond. My short horror stories, “The Forgetful Dark,” “Hair of Flame,” and “Here There be Monsters,” were included in those collections respectively.
This week, all three books were released in a single collection and they immediately jumped to the top of their categories in several world markets. The Mortem Cycle went top 20 on Amazo3 months ago Read more -
Blog postAfter four years and over 200 weekly blogs complaining about my family and reminiscing on my life, I think it is finally time to give Deep Dark Thoughts a break.
I have loved the opportunity to rant and spout nonsense on these pages over the past years and I will definitely miss the cathartic release this outlet has provided me, but as they say, all good things must come to an end.
As of this week, Deep Dark Thoughts is on indefinite hiatus. It may be back, maybe not. It might8 months ago Read more -
Blog postMany bargains, deals, offerings, and opportunities that come about in life are just too good to be true. Meaning that there’s a catch. Either the item you are getting is not as good as promised, or the price is inflated by additional, previously undisclosed costs and fees. Usually, if you are surprised at what a great deal you are getting, it is because there is information that you are missing.

Blog postScout, checking to see if we are asleep I don’t wake up in the morning to an alarm clock anymore. I wake up to a cat.
Sometimes it’s just one cat, but sometimes it’s as many as all three. They all decide they want to fight, chase each other, and bang into the walls at about seven o’clock each morning. I wake up to the sound of growling, and little claws trying to find purchase on the hardwood floor as the cats run as fast as they can down the hallway until they slam into the bathroom8 months ago Read more -
Blog postI get motion sick. I know this. I have known this for a long time. Yet it constantly surprises me how often I place myself in situations that I know can only end badly for me.
I thought it was as bad as it could get a few years ago when I let a friend of mine talk me into going fishing in a small, chartered boat off the coast of Bodega Bay. That was hours of nauseated pain and torment that I will never forget. (For anyone curious about this trip, I blogged about it at the time. You ca9 months ago Read more -
Blog postBack in 1999, I was working for the Sacramento Sheriff’s Office, assigned to work at the Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center (known colloquially to the workers as RCCC, or simply, “the branch). I had been working at the RCCC since moving to Sacramento about a year earlier.
On one particular day, I was assigned to be one of the shift escorts. Jail escorts are very different from the kind of escorts you call on the phone and pay money so they come visit you late at night. That is a whole d9 months ago Read more -
Blog postFor the first time in almost eighteen months, I went to see a movie in an actual movie theater. I was one of only about ten people brave enough for the outing in a theater built to hold about ninety. That just made the experience all the more fun, because there is nothing I love more than to watch a movie on a large screen in a theater that is almost completely empty. It’s private and public all at the same time. I can pretend that I’m doing something social, while simultaneously avoiding ey<9 months ago Read more

Blog postI don’t consider myself a chef by any stretch of the imagination, but I do like to prepare nice meals for my family. That does not mean, of course, that I’m unwilling to accept a little help when it comes to searching for recipes and purchasing the necessary items to prepare them.

Blog postThe third day we spent on vacation was my actual birthday. To celebrate the day, we planned to spend a few hours wandering the scenic streets of downtown Carmel By The Sea. That’s the actual name of the town, and there are unlimited t-shirts and hats in every store with “Carmel By The Sea” printed on them to prove it.

Blog postFor the second day of my birthday trip to Monterey, my wife announced that she wanted to take a long walk along the coastline and visit a cemetery in Pacific Grove. She had family members that were buried there back in the 1950’s and she wanted to visit the gravesites. I agreed that sounded like a nice use of the day.
There was a paved bike path that we could walk that meandered about five miles along the shoreline to the cemetery. Five miles isn’t that bad when you consider that you10 months ago Read more -
Blog postAs my 55th birthday was rapidly approaching, my wife decided that it was time for our family to take a little vacation along the California coast. Specifically, we booked a hotel room for a few days in Monterey.
We drove out to the coast late Saturday night, escaping record breaking, triple digit heat in Sacramento and finding a much more pleasant climate in which to hide for three days.

Thank you to John Day:
I enjoyed this book. I fell into the characters as they were brought to life. I was brought in to each adventure and really enjoyed how the characters were developed. This is a nice way to escape and answer the question – one wish… what would you wish for.

And so many more. There is no end to the terrors we have in store and there is nowhere left to hide. Get comfy, this is going to be a wild ride.
Azaroth, a much older, but only slightly more competent, senior demon has been tasked with leading the group. His leadership style is slightly less cuddly than Genghis Khan’s, as he does not believe in the carrot and the stick methodology. He prefers a stick in each hand, with maybe a dagger hidden up his sleeve for good measure.
Azaroth takes his responsibility seriously and will not accept failure for any reason. Of course, he also has no idea how to avoid it.
These are the Deadly Seven. Only time will tell if the hapless demons will ultimately prove to be a bigger threat to humanity … or to themselves.
Deadly Seven, by G. Allen Wilbanks, follows the exploits of seven less than capable demons as they struggle to learn the art of temptation. Each chapter includes creature illustrations by Jason Jacobo which add to the enjoyment of experiencing this book. Get your copy now!

For Sonja Drommer, the answer to that question is easy: Escape. Instead of the tedious drudgery of alternating between school and home, she wants magic and wonder to fill her days. She wants to be the hero of her own narrative, rather than feel like a minor character trapped in someone else’s story.
So, when Sonja meets Rith, a garrulous hippoganth, and the impossible little creature offers to grant her fondest desire, she knows immediately what she is going to wish for. Sonja wants a life of adventure. One moment, Sonja is alone in her room with nothing more to look forward to than failing another math test in the morning, and the next she is shouting orders aboard a pirate ship, lost in the wilderness, and battling dragons. She has everything she had hoped for and more. Perhaps too much more...
Sonja had no idea there were so many things out there just waiting for a chance to try and kill her.

And now she’s all grown up, the adventures haven’t stopped.
But can Alice still survive the challenges as she did as a child? Can she work her way through a range of speculative fiction genre stories, each with its own major confrontation?
What significance does the White Rabbit hold? Will he…can he?…help her get home?
And when Alice finally confronts her thirteenth nemesis, does she have the courage to face fear itself?
