Long story short (since I write short stories), I am putting all my creations temporarily on hold. Libra husband (actually a Cancer, but I digress…) and I have been affected by Covid-19 as well as pneumonia. Yes, both of us. He is currently in ICU. I am at home but still on the mend asContinue reading “On hold…”

And now for something you’ll really like…
Have you ever looked back at something and thought, “Damn. I could have done so much better”? I think we all have. Be it relationships or professional endeavors, we all can agree that hindsight is 20/20, right? If y’all have spent even a few minutes in the Twisted Libra Cemetery, you know that my booksContinue reading “And now for something you’ll really like…”
A blog about nothing…
I have been sitting in front of this computer for quite a while, trying to come up with something interesting to say. I got nothing, y’all. Hence the Seinfeld-esque title of this post. I think my brain may actually be broken this time. The well has run dry. I am out of ideas. Perhaps theContinue reading “A blog about nothing…”
Happy World Dracula Day!
On May 26, 1897, the literary world was gifted with the publication of the one and only Dracula by Bram Stoker. This incredible novel, though initially not well received, has gone on to earn recognition as one of the greatest literary classics of our time. Iterations of this story have appeared not only in literature,Continue reading “Happy World Dracula Day!”
The masquerade…
The doubt and fear begin to fall away. I grasp the mask in my trembling hand. I have worn it like a shield of sorts; it has become a part of me. But the time has arrived to strip the mask away. To yield only that which is true. I claw at the mask withContinue reading “The masquerade…”
Resurrection…
No, this isn’t some zombie-Jesus, Easter holiday type thing. Ladies, gentlemen, vagrants, and vagabonds…your Twisted Libra has returned! Forgive the prolonged absence. That pesky thing we call real life sometimes gets in the way. Since my last post, I have had quite the busy personal and professional schedule. This prevented me from haunting the cemeteryContinue reading “Resurrection…”
Escaping reality…
This week, I began reading Dracula by Bram Stoker. For the third time. In truth, it is the only book I have ever read more than once, aside from the Scary Stories or Tales for the Midnight Hour series. Each time I read it, I find a new sense of enjoyment for it. This timeContinue reading “Escaping reality…”
Something a little lighter…
I don’t have much to say today. Nothing profound, at least. However, I did write something a while back that I felt like sharing here today. Enjoy! I open my eyes in the darkness, yet somehow I am able to see.Although I lie on a satin cushion, wood rests around and in front of me.AContinue reading “Something a little lighter…”
Waking up…
I started writing again today. I woke up this morning with an excellent short story in my head, so I have begun working on it today. It feels good to be inspired again, to know my voice has returned. The hiatus was long and difficult. Today, I feel content. I feel a sense of peaceContinue reading “Waking up…”
Kicking and screaming…
I can’t recall, but I am pretty sure I entered this world kicking and screaming. It was not long after midnight, under a Blood Moon, in the month of October. On this very day, in fact. I won’t say exactly how many years ago, but we will just say I have had my share ofContinue reading “Kicking and screaming…”
