Dark World: Into the Shadows with the Lead Investigator of the Ghost Adventures Crew by Zak Bagans
“Ghost Adventures” is my favorite paranormal reality show, so when Zak Bagans released this book in 2011 I had to grab a copy. In it, he discusses many of his personal experiences in great detail.
Like many people, I’m spending more time at home these days. The Coronavirus changed things for everyone. Some people have been laid-off from their jobs, or are working fewer hours. My hours have been reduced, so while I am still working, I’m spending more time at home than usual. I expected to spend this time getting a lot of writing done. Alas, I have barely written a sentence. Maybe being shut in has killed my writing mojo. At least, that’s what I thought.
Maybe being shut in has killed my writing mojo.
Sometimes you just need to get out of your own way. I decided to just sit in front of my computer, and get some writing done, even if it was only a few lines. A few lines turned into a few pages. So I guess this means I have found my writing mojo again!
This month, I’m sharing the titles of books I’ve read or am currently reading, by working my way through the alphabet. And, as I continue to work on drafts of new books, I’ll post previews, too. If anyone reading this feels like they’ve lost their mojo, never fear: you’ll find it again.

A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
This was another one of my “see the movie, read the book” moments. It was actually a very interesting read, once you begin to understand the lingo.
It’s day number two! Today’s letter is B. Feel free to join in by posting a title in the comments section! (note: if the title begins with the, use the first letter of the next word!)
The Birds and Other Stories by Daphne du Maurier
One of my favorite movies is Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds. I recently discovered the library I work in had a copy of a small collection of short stories by Daphne du Maurier. Her short story, “The Birds”, was the inspiration for the Hitchcock film.
It’s a new month, and I wanted to try a fun idea. Every day, I’m going to post the title of a book I have read, or am currently reading. The catch is, I’m going to work my way through the alphabet. Since this is the first day, today’s letter is A. Feel free to join in by posting a title in the comments section! (note: if the title begins with the, use the first letter of the next word!)
Acid For The Children by Flea

I’ve been working on a few different ideas for stories for my male readers, to give them a break from my female-centric writing. My strongest idea involves one of my characters from the Our Lady of Righteous Rage series: Aidan. Much like Erin, Dee and Jon, Aidan is getting a solo book. The working title is I Probably Should Have Kept That To Myself Here’s a sample from the first chapter. I hope to have the book ready for publication by the end of May. Enjoy!
Chapter One
There’s a tiny bag of weed in the back of one of my dresser drawers, and nobody knows this but me. I shouldn’t be thinking about it right now, but I am. I’m thinking about opening that drawer, grabbing that little bag and hiding it in my suitcase. Nah—it would be my luck to have some drug-sniffing dog at the airport rat me out. Besides, I promised my wife I’d quit smoking.
But that was before I agreed to go with my brothers to Las Vegas. It’s only for the weekend, still, I’m rethinking it now. Rethinking and rethinking…
“You have your ticket, right?”
Dee was talking to me from the bathroom. She had just changed the bath towels: fresh dark gray ones to match our black and white color scheme.
“Yep,” I replied. “It’s with my suitcase.” I looked over at the drawer where I keep the weed, one last time. Nope. I’ll leave it here. Better safe than sorry.
Dee emerged from the bathroom. She was wearing a pair of camouflage yoga pants and a black tank top. I’m only going to be away from her for the weekend and I already miss her. Is that stupid? I mean, I haven’t even left the damn house yet. “What are you going to do all weekend with me out of the house?”
Dee shrugged, casually. “I’ll probably go harass Amy. Or I might kick around Urban Collective for a few hours. You’re not worried about me, are you?”
“No, it’s not you I’m worried about,” I said.
“Are you planning on getting into a fight with your brothers?” Dee asked. She walked up behind me and wrapped her arms around my waist. I took one of her hands in mine. Her brown complexion is a stark contrast to mine: I’m whiter than a ghost. Some days I feel like I’m haunting my own house.
“I never plan it,” I said. “But sometimes it just happens.”
“Promise me you’ll try to get along with them.”
“I promise, Frisky. Scout’s honor.”
“You were never a boy scout.”
I smiled. I never would have lasted as a boy scout.
I Probably Should Have Kept That To Myself is coming soon!
Childhood friends grow up together and accomplish a common goal: to start a successful punk rock band. This is one of the elements in Our Lady of Righteous Rage. A group of friends in late 1990’s/early 2000’s New York start a band, and begin writing and recording music. This is in the first book of the series. As the band begins to stretch its legs and make some money, they have to deal with their newfound fame. But fame, like many things, comes at a high cost…
No one prepared them for the amount of privacy they would need to surrender. No one prepared them for the fake stories that would begin to circulate about them. For Amy, Rob, Nick and Aidan, and their friends and family, nothing will ever be the same.
This weekend, the second, third and fourth books in the series are available to download from Amazon FOR FREE. No, I’m not crazy. If you’ve read the first book in the series, this is the perfect time to jump into the other books. Amy and company are about to embark on the greatest adventure of their lives, complete with live performances, fans, haters, and maybe a fight or two. Your Fame Will Destroy You, Rowdy and Righteous are FREE this weekend, Saturday morning through Sunday night. Head over to the Books page on Woolaston Entertainment for direct links and enjoy!
Remember: Stay Home, Stay Safe.
