Flat out I love this series. I know, the covers right. How hard do you think it is to find pictures of squirrels doing stuff? Remember they are not method actors. Dribbles is but a component to this intense and moving digital short story series put out by Cody “The Toyeman” Toye. The real action behind all this is those being displaced by greedy muck-mucks. Dribbles is but a tool, a foot soldier, in the fight to strike back at the Man. Cody Toye creates a chilling and at times all too real…

jazz walked the streets, smiling at her peers. they were all angry. more then ever before.

she could see a group of boys carrying a bunch of weapons she's only ever seen in her dreams. she saw a bunch of girls with nails so long, they dragged along the ground, making sparks fly, all red.

she laughed out loud and many others joined her, making a type of music that no one wants to hear before they die. suddenly, someone came up beside her.

"Hello." he drawled.

These days, it's truly an exciting time to be a writer, and I'm enjoying writing as much as I do and then seeing it published.





There are so many reasons why I enjoy writing. At first it was only a hobby and something I decided to do suddenly in November 2009, and now I have found myself developing further with the plots and characters that I create.

Every day is a massive learning curve, reading reviews and hearing readers thoughts and feelings teaches me many…

Hello again! Yes I am back from vacation and oh so happy to be back here in the blogosphere. Wait, no, retract that; I would prefer to be on the beach listening to the surf roll but since I am not independently wealthy yet, I need to get back in the saddle and back to work. Okay that cleared up, so there is no misunderstanding, and I am perfectly clear, let’s get ready to rumble. As a side note : yesterday was the first day back on the air with The G-ZONE, my blogtalk radio show,…

Like the clown cover? Yeah that is me. The clown element to this digital short story is just one component of the story. The real deal here is family, and what each other will do when the chips are down. It is very interesting dynamic here in a short amount of space, well composed, well defined and well plotted. Can one ask for much more out of a short story and $.99? I think not.

Here is the brief synopsis of “Disappearing Act”:

Hi Everyone!

I had a lot of fun doing it but I actually learned some stuff…

The very first thing that strikes you about this book is the excellent cover designed by Giovanni Gelati of Trestle press and the author of the blog that has published this post. The author describes the concept of Drunk on the Moon as something he came up with after a few beers. However, those that know, Spinetingler award nominee, Paul D. Brazill’s work will know there is no need to worry about the quality of the story. Many people out there will recognise the title as a Tom Waits song and…

The idea that a choice made in isolation will only affect the person making it is only valid if that person was alone in the world and had no established connection to anyone. Choices are very particular for the individual, but interconnected for the whole of society. Choices can never be made in isolation of others. This is so well established an idea that economist had to create a way around it…

When my arms embrace darkness

One can only think it harmless

Until pain is caressed

And death is undressed

With throes of sick lament

I passed through death, unkempt

Oh, there my soul rest!

I hear church bells

Atop the lonely tower

Ring cold death knells

For my blackest hour

Carnivorous ravens fled

Into midnight hours

Where salty tears bled

Upon funeral…

Death's ebon dart

Flew with accuracy

Struck her heart

With adept mastery

Under Gibbous rays

She lay bleeding

Her memory sways

Her life fleeing

The battle raged

For wont of days

Only delayed

By her discovery
