As My Tears Run Red

After watching Sasquatch: The Legend of Bigfoot today, I decided that I would start a Cryptozoology themed week for my other Blog; The Ring Master's Realm .  With that in mind, I decided to post some recent comments about my first book Searching the Abyss .  Sure, this is one of the last major non-fiction projects I have completed, my love of the unexplained and paranormal continue to motivate me in my writings.  Have you ever heard of that unexplained animal sighting up the road? Or been interested in organizing a trip searching for your native legends? If so, this is the book for you. This handbook outlines the world of cryptozoology, everything from its humble beginnings to details on collecting evidence in the field. Complete with tips on researching, classifying and investigating cryptids, this book is easy to use and is everything you need to get your search started. Written for the beginner, Searching the Abyss offers both practical advice and personal exper...

Shattered Slices of pleasure take a toll Alone you lay Tears of pleasure Cries of pain Hear the last gasp of sin? Scarlet streams line the walls Silent spectors enjoy the performance My altar is clear My soul whole My sins.... 

The fragile one rises Speaking volumes with the silence Projecting visions into the emptiness Destroying hope One world out of touch Lost in the spiraling masses of descent Two bodies make one Four eyes make six Reality cries out The fragile one screams Another day ends

This is from Walking Before Dawn  (available for kindle or email me for a signed copy) and was also published by Whispering Spirits Magazine .   A lone tombstone Elisabeth Alone in the heart of this sanctuary Are you the one? The maiden we search for The Green Lady The legends vary Drowned in a swamp Taken by a scorned lover Satan's seductress I am here Alone Come to me Many have seen you walking Hitchhiking on the lone dirt road Traveling the downward spiral into the depths of stone Snap I take a picture A beautiful light shines clear Is that you? Unveil your vortex Open my blindness Let me share your story Symbols burnt into the earth surround you Did they succeed? Summoning you from your slumber Conjuring your restless spirit Flirting with an unknown evil If so, can I enter? I belong with you Come to me Silence Suddenly I see a figure Is it you dear? No Worse, it is legion These cloaked figures rise from the ashes Surrounding me They want my heart My soul My life They w...

This is going to be part of my zombie epic (if I ever get around to finishing it). Unfortunately, I am unsure which character is speaking to me with this one. I am sure I will figure it out in time... It haunts me in times of solitude A vague whisper of a dream I can almost remember The lingering warmth of a forgotten touch I sense it there, in the darkness In the quiet moments of times I can barely recall Resting on the limits of my reason It calls to me, urging me to cry out Only to have my voice echo into nothingness It is a history that was written in stone ages ago And every figure of it has faded away To leave me here to live in the shadow of a wraith A vision of what was and a lost wish of what may be I know it, and I know it is there It waits for me to discover it once more To unearth the secrets it holds and find myself Because without it I am but an undefined impression of possibilities It becomes me as I have always been a part of it A promise that has exi...

I just received an awesome email from Charlotte Gledson , a great writer and one of the editors of House of Horror Magazine notifying me that one of my submissions has been picked up for Issue #2, the Spring Break/Road Trip edition.

The Edward Ballister Project is now available at amazon.com .  Pick up a copy of this great novel today! I wish that, as I was growing up, I had written down the memorable sweet evenings that passed in the night like a breeze through a downtown courtyard. But I did not. I wrote down nothing, only remembering the past through shoddy memories and the far-fetched recollections of others.
