Holy Cats! I thought this blog was said and done, and I was fiddling around setting up a new group for The Solstice List©The Best in Horror, I discovered that beautiful little orange icon. It was like seeing an old friend. 

I checked the blog and the last time I posted was 2019. Now we all know the world as we had known it had changed dramatically then and the changes were world-wide. And that is an entire new post(s)

I am so happy to see my blog! I will definielty keep writing. To catch you up, my life has changed as well since then. I am still writing horror, still reading horror and still doing reviews on books and movies. 

This year I am getting my MFA in Creative Writing and I seriously hope the professors have strong stomachs. At the end of the year my book will be finished and published sometime in 2027. 

I am working on three novels, but two I have put to bed to finishe the one I am working on for the program. It will be an intense year. 

Nine months ago I was in a car accident and I have still not recovered. The worst is brain injury I had now has a friend; another concussion that never fully healed or went away. And the side effects are awful. 

If you see typos please point them out. Sometimes my brain does not make the right connections. I get exhausted easy, usually after three hours of either physical or mental work, and I need to go to bed. Or my neck and shoulder pain which start off at a 5 in the morning on the uboquitous pain scale, ramps up to an 8 at night. My neck, shoulders, arms, back and hips, tops of my feet and shins are still feeling pain. The vertigo and nausea have not gone away yet, and neither has the loss of balance. 

So 2026 will be a challenge, but this is a dream I have held close to my heart for decades; to finally get accepted into the program. 

But now that I have found you, my old friend, I intend to take care of you and support you. 

Welcome to 2026!
