TweetA few weeks ago I was surfing through Craigslist looking for a motorcycle for the wife and I stumbled upon this add for a 1970 Sportster that looked promising. I should the link to Tracy and once she saw the flames on the tank she wanted to go see it for “her” bike. Now before I go any farther let me first say that I had been wanting a 70 to 73 Sportster for quite a long time but just hadn’t been in the position to get one. The ones I had seen previous to this one either needed serious help or were just to expensive to get. I didn’t want perfect, I wanted something that I could work...

TweetDue to one thing or any of the other 5,000 things that I have been doing this year I haven’t been writing much. This is going to change since I now pronounce May as writing month. Of course out of all the months to decided this May isn’t the best one. My step daughter is having probably going to have a baby this month. My eldest daughter is graduating high school at the end of the month. My parents are coming in town and then we are driving down to Kentucky for the graduation. We are putting up a privacy fence because it is cheaper then bail since we have idiot neighbors behind us. It’s May…need to ride the...

TweetReceived the final edit of the cover for my novel today and gave it the okay. Next it is on to the printers and then I get a proof. More info on that when it happens but until then here is the cover. If you want to read a little more about Landsford here over here.

TweetThis story contains audio violence, seriously, you have been warned. Sparrow Written by Brad Zipprich Laura Best as The Woman Will Ross as Willie Brad Zipprich as Henry Audio production by ‘Dillo I wrote this story a year and a half or so ago. It was one of those stories that just came to me for some reason. It helped that I had already planned out the woman to be voiced by Laura Best. Not only is she a good friend but I’ve heard her singing before and it was the perfect part that she could pull off. Besides, she could appreciate the horror aspect of the story and took it beyond what I was hearing in my head as I...

TweetHave a little bit of interesting news to pass on. Well okay maybe it is just interesting to me and a few other people for now. For over three years now I have been kicking around this audio story project that I have been wanting to do but haven’t. Seems there was always one thing or another that popped up causing me to abandon it for something else. Needless to say the audio production part of it was going to be a huge part that I just didn’t think I had the necessary skills for. As a result it basically just laid there flopping about on like a mermaid out of water and occasionally I would look at it....

TweetLast fall I came up with an idea for a novel called Desolation Road that I was going to work on for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) in November. Well it ended up that I changed my mind at the last minute and worked on another story idea for that month. I did finish the challenge but didn’t like the way the story unfolded so I just put that away to look at revamping later. Tuesday I rode the Harley into work and haven’t stopped thinking about Desolation Road since. I have a couple different ideas for some of the plots in this story. Actually I have enough plot ideas to go through a few different novels but we’ll...

TweetI wrote this story about two years ago and incorporated some of my favorite things, airplanes, history and zombies. After I finished I posted it on the Library of the Living Dead forum were Dr Pus read it and decided to work some magic on it for use in the LOTLD Podcast. When I first heard what he did with it I was floored so I’ve included the audio version along with the written version. This story is on my list of things that I would like to go back and revisit. There are a few different story lines that I could think of using in this “world” but it hasn’t been that high up on my list to...

TweetThis is what you call a post about nothing. Really I mean it is really about nothing. Ok maybe not totally nothing but really all I am doing is testing out a few things on the blogs new look, whatcha think?        

TweetIt’s been awhile since I have messed around with my blog. In fact, the last time I did mess around with it was a few months ago when I deleted the entire thing. For the months leading up to that fateful day I was sick of the way the blog looked and finally it just had to be put out of it’s misery. ?At one point in time I decided to try going with Joomla but then I never went anywhere with it. I’ve run Joomla on a few sites but it just wasn’t something I wanted to screw with again. So, after a few months and a destroyed blog I am back to WordPress again. This look I...
