InsaneJournal: my full first name


I've been here for several years and if you're looking for my print titles go hang out on if you want some of them. I was with Lulu for ten years until Legend Keeper had been written. I introduced Among Shadows here and will come by occasionally to see what everyone is up to from time to time. I've been a horror author since 1990 and been published since my birthday as I turned 28 years of age, so that would put me born on 1976 – do the math; I am a horror author predominately who took on Eric Hovind. I do believe in God but I like to write dark subject matter – ranging from wide range of subject matter and offer my blogs up for those who want some research. I am known for Tabloid Purposes and you can learn more about each publication on . My work is known for employing some tough language over the years as you can read Lake Fossil here as that's where I introduced this as you will find a few modern era stories you will enjoy every bit as much such as Bonnie 'n Clyde: 60172.

I am an online pioneer as I've been online since the age of 20 and was published online since I was that age; I haven't posted a story here in a while since the way they changed the layout because I used to be able to do the single space paragraphs on here – you can catch me on facebook.com as I have articles on there too so go follow me if you want to see my public postings. I will be hanging with some of you on here from time to time as I was 26 when I joined you guys. You caught me one year before I was published and just as had been going through some growing pains. Welcome to the proverbial dark parking lot that is my mind. I own and publish The Ethereal Gazette as some issues I am preparing the guidelines for submissions all over Lake Fossil Press publications as I am a short story publisher. (This one will house a quite dark, literate joke story titled The Room Mate. I am waiting on some things before it gets approved.)

I will lurk on FanFiction.net encouraging writers to try their hand writing originals (the piece I have here is a classmate's character he developed.) You will find information where one can grab my catalog online as it's slowly returning I am reworking some of the odd sized publications to make them the specifications I have Tabloid Purposes back online as others are slowly making their return as you see them linked from . Publication -- shit I am always looking for my new material to be in circulation and trying to get back in circulation and stay published when you become published you have a harpy such as this one who tries to fuck you over. If you can handle the arguments for God and Evolution -- speaking of Conservative issues on my blogs, we'll get along great. Just don't ask me to read any slash fiction as I will swear at you for forcing it down my throat in the early eras I was here as The Fandom Writer was born out of this and it's the one that really caused a shitstorm when it emerged.

I grew up listening to thrash metal and born on James Hetfield's birthday; so the very heavy metal band that got me listening to thrash and reading books is Metallica and Anthrax as I corresponded with Scott Ian some in 2003. I also corresponded with David Ellefson of Megadeth as I was on for awhile from something he referred. I am a fixture in the heavy metal community -- not a troll but if you seen who I am connected to it will surprise you. you will see me connected with Jim Rota of Fireball Ministry as I had one of his tracks blaring when I did Tabloid Purposes IV as I was spouting the lyrics, "Raise a fist to all before us!"


I will hang out on wattpad sometimes too as I have an exclusive short story there called R.W.S. (Real World Scenario) if you're fans of Stephen Gammel's artwork this is one of those stories where I had his art in mind for it. If you seen on my profile on I have announced the return of Issue Five of my magazine and working on a presentation of The Iliad with a new introduction written by me which plays up my humor some. Feel free to follow me on An Author's Blog as my research and video blogs are posted there from time to time.


If you are looking for cool Lake Fossil Swag: I do have watches from my photography available. Thanx to Zazzle I can see what I can do to raise extra money for my bills -- click here to see one of them. This is some of my photography and if you want to help me get the one watch into The Field Museum -- show up with one on your wrist.

The Cabbie Homicide: Oct 13, 1993 reviews
Bleak Creative Nonfiction work which made shockwaves. The murderers were Glenbard East students [Class of 1994,] both are serving life detention. This is from the account of the murder I overheard Porras bragging about. The subject of this one called it a "bogus bio" but this is true. In the vein of Edgar Allan Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart.

passage from a speculative journal that I had, it was a narrative that I penned from a dream on April 4, 2002. It was a dream about a waiting room full of vampires while I was waiting to go to New Orleans. This is in Collectives In A Forsaken Landscape. This is the most sought after story from 2002 as this was the first story without profanity I've done.
