Some Scars Never Heal - Part 1

Two days until my deadline, and the words refused to co-operate. I sat in my small office, in my small flat, staring at the cheerfully blinking cursor on my computer screen, silently damning the writer’s block that had plagued me for the past month. Finally, I gave up and shut off the monitor.

Blog #3: The Future of the Charlie Madison Series…

I’ve had a few e-mails from people asking where my Charlie series went, since I removed it from this site yesterday, so I figured a little info was in order to appease those who miss the stories (all 6 of you…hehehe). Basically, as I said in my previous blog, I’ve been getting a little bit of static about my wish to publish Charlie’s stories, mainly because they’re about Orlando. So what I’ve decided to do is re-write them as original fiction, taking Orlando and his life out of the equation completely, and creating an original male character who will still bear Orlando’s physical likeness, etc… but will not actually be him, if that makes any sense. So you can still picture Orlando in your heads as you read, but he won’t go by that name anymore. The same goes for Adam in the 2nd and 3rd stories. Once the stories are re-written, I’ll re-post them in their updated form, and they’ll be available both on this site, and for sale on Amazon.com.

Some Scars Never Heal - Part 2

The alarm buzzed loudly the following morning, telling me it was time to get up and face that damned computer screen again. Sherman was curled around my feet, in his usual spot, sound asleep, despite the noise from the insistent alarm. I reached over and shut it off, blinking at the sunlight that was pouring through the windows.

Some Scars Never Heal - Part 3

When the phone rang, I was ready for it. I settled myself at my desk, with my list of ideas and requests in front of me, just to make sure I had all of my ducks in a row. I wanted this movie to reflect the book as much as possible, and not become just another bastardized “based on” piece of shit. And I wouldn’t back down on that.
