Jessica McHugh get’s Jack’d
Another working day has ended Only the rush hour hell to face Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes Contestants in a suicidal race Lyrics from Synchronicity, by the Police. We all know exactly what they are referring to. Lemmings have been been ill-perceived as a rodent that does little […]
The lemming effect
Annnnd we’re back with another episode of Get Jack’d. This time around I have the pleasure of jacking fellow author du’ grim Axel Howerton. As everyone on the Jackverse knows, the getting of jack’d is a deep, funky process… so let’s skip the pleasantries and get knee deep into the […]
Axel Howerton Gets Jack’d
As a writer of horror (and other sundries) I am always asked why I write a genre that will forever take a back seat to most other genres. The answer to that one question is simple — because it’s my passion. But that question actually begs of numerous, multi-layered questions. […]
What genres do you like and why?

Writely Advice: Back it up!

Fabulous Friday: Win a Kindle Fire
Lately I’ve been taking up some of my regular blog spots to address various issues surrounding the indie author scene. I thought I would continue this practice once again… only this time dig a bit deeper into the muck and underbelly of the beast of which I am a part […]
Desperation leads to more desperation
It’s not always that you come across a writer who can give a genre a breath of fresh air for you like Danielle Blanchard has with her Vamp Saga series. So when I started reading Book 1 I knew Danielle had to Get Jack’d. So, without further adieu…let’s to the […]
Misfit Monday: Danielle Blanchard (Gets Jack’d)
I am proud to admit that I am an indie artist. To be more specific, an indie author. And since the “indie” does everything they can to spin the system around and make it their bitch, I thought it fitting to dedicate this “Misfit Monday” to the indie artist. Follow […]
Misfit Monday: Indie artists
The people have spoken! Recently I asked my readers what they would have me write next. I have a huge TBW (To Be Written) pile, and wanted to know what YOU wanted to read next. Well, you spoke up. Via Facebook, Twitter, email, and my blog; you let me know, […]
