So I’m new to this blogging game and I’m not sure where to start. I’ll start like this…I am a self published author who has sold some books online but truly want to sell more. So the blog is a good place to promote, ( I think..lol). Growing up I read stories from the horror masters. Stephen King, John Saul, Dean Knootz to name a few. As a youngster I watched television shows like, The Outer Limits, One Step Beyond and Night Gallery. For humor I watched shows like The Adams Family and The Munsters. It’s no wonder I grew up wanting to write Horror.

My first attempt at writing came in the fourth grade. We had a creative writing assignment. My story was called The Last Witch In Salem and yep you guessed it, it was about the last witch. Only she really was a witch and the story revolved around her getting angry at the narrow-minded towns people who her witchcraft had been helping for so long. You really don’t want to get a witch mad at ya…Well my teacher called me up to her desk and asked me “where did you get this from?” I explained that I got it from me. She didn’t like that answer and instead told me that I plagiarized the story and gave me a big fat F.

My mom being the young urban (ghetto) mom that she was at the time took me back to school the next day and proceeded to tell that teacher a few choice words. I never wanted to write again so imagine my surprise when I tried again at age 22(or so) and lo and behold “Dark Reflections” was born. It took me twenty years to write it but that story I will leave for my next blog.
