  • The fates of circumstance

    I fall behind. I have fell behind trying to balance life with recovery. I have stumbled juggling responsibilities with dreams, often times dropping the ball on both. I have set my expectations higher than attainable, but I have no regrets. I have lived hard, worked hard, loved hard, my successes have been as epic…

  • Swallowed in tide, devoured in stride

    Some days truly feel so overwhelming that the only way to describe the endless anxiety is the cliche of I’m drowning!

  • Sinkholes, black holes, hookers, sinners and fishin’ lures that form the changing tides

    I grasp the walls soaking wet, grip slipping further down and I furiously fight to catch my breath amongst the frantic panic. The hourglass continues to empty quickly, meanwhile, the piling half grows so slowly. Ain’t it funny how that shit like that works?   In those moments lost laying upon the bottom, we…

  • disadvantagely, the broken may be susceptible to fracturing much easier than its counterpart

    I began in enjoyment this paid absence from that torturous hell that pays my bills, then in boredom I thought maybe I may have missed the shit hole. Then the buzz wore off and I found I enjoy this not being caged in a place I loathe, and that I’m pretty certain in a…

  • From the trenches of the recording studio

    As the hour passes the 5 am mark and my legs ache from the inactivity they have endured over the last 11 hours, I can do nothing but shake my head and shy. We are in between tracks we are recording for the audiobook version of Ghost in the Reflection-Letters to Erin. Progress is…

  • Maybe Today Was Different

    Well, maybe today was the day. Wouldn’t that be a breath of fresh air after all the chaotic static of a failed attempt after a failed attempt? Have I finally conquered the Amazon KDP Paperback Covers Formatting dirty, nasty, bitter, nazi grading standards? I will not get my hopes up I swear to myself.…
