Groundskeeper Tale! Now out…
The second Groundskeeper tale, The Hoodoo that You Do, is now available as a standalone ebook with extended ending.

Chloe Snippet: House of the Bulls
Since I didn’t write for the prompt last week, here’s a snip of the WIP. Feedback is welcome. I’m still figuring out what I’m doing with this story. *** The bus stop wasn’t at the cemetery entrance, of course. Who would need to come and go to the city of the dead inside the greater…

Chloe stopped dead on the sidewalk, right on the curb, and looked around. There was nothing besides a scattering of regular everyday people. “He…

Odd Prompt: Hoodoo Snip
This prompt was great and my mental squirrels tried to take it in like six directions. But I stuck with a story I need to actually, you know, finish. I’m really making progress with it, now… including research into Brownstones, Cincinnati, and the Underground Railroad. *** Benny the snitch, Chloe mentally tagged him. She…

Odd Prompts: A Ghast
This is a bit of what will eventually be “The Groundskeeper: Hoodoo You Do” when I’m finished with it. The joke is all on the First Reader! **** Chloe put her hands on her hips. Her purple hair, now with blue tips, was slipping out of her messy bun and tickling her forehead, where…
