Yesterday I went through my old writing archive. ‘What’s that?’ you might wonder – and more importantly, why would I even have one?
Well, to give you an idea, like most writers today I create my stories and edit and format them on a PC. In fact, since I started writing on a PC back in 2003, life has been much easier for me as a writer – not to mention lighter! Of course it wasn’t always this way – before that, I used to do it the old-fashioned way, with paper and a pen – lots and lots of paper as it turns out!
I used to scribble notes to myself about quick story ideas, funny quips or cool ideas on odd little bits of paper so I wouldn’t forget them, then later add some more ideas to it – in the form of more bits of paper of course – and perhaps even add a story plan… or two! If I was feeling particularly creative that day, I might also have added a couple of sketches, maybe a map or technical drawings – and so on! Naturally, since I started writing when I was very young, around seven – and I did a lot of writing even before I switched over to doing it on PC’s – this means I generated a lot of writing-related material between 1980 and 2003!

Announcing Portfolio 2020!
I thought it would be nice if I could produce a neat, organized catalog of all my books that interested parties could download and browse – a free, distributable and shareable catalog, and so I created “Portfolio 2020!” – a listing of all my currently available titles!
“Portfolio 2020!” is more than that, because it also contains a biography as well as synopses for most of my titles – and I have a plan to update it regularly, perhaps on an annual basis!
Portfolio 2020 is available as a free download from my website, and you’re welcome to share it! More

Do Satanists Worship The Devil? An Academic Reflection

Good morning friends and fans!
Normally I post about my fiction writing, but today I’m posting about my non-fiction writing! “Satanism: The Acid Test” is an academic paper I wrote back in 2013 – an academic paper addressing misconceptions about the occult. Why? Why, you may ask, would I write about so contentious and perhaps provocative a subject?
Why indeed.
Well, because people deserve to know the truth, and because it’s really annoying when people misjudge and even persecute others based on not only their own ignorant assumptions – but also based on their tacit agreement with lies and deliberate fabrications spread by others! People deserve to form their own informed opinions based upon facts rather than superstition and spurious claims made by snake-oil salesmen. The choice is still up to them whether or not they are to accept the facts in place of the years of intensive and one-sided programming they have received.
Why would I share this? Well… because I was the chief researcher and writer for the group that sponsored this paper… and because someone sent me an email early this morning wanting to know the truth about Satanism – particularly in the light of what Christian evangelicals who have never spent even five minutes as actual Satanists – say it is. To find out for yourself, read on. More
