Askew Ball: Author's Note

Askew Ball was originally suppose to be written as a short story, but upon meeting Trevor Thomas Murray and getting to know him.  I had talked about this demented little story that turned into a short script that he believed in me enough to submit it to Broom Street Theater during a little contest they were having back in November of 2009.  I came back to this twisted and yet funny tale, because I was mentoring an aspiring writer by telling him that he should write what he wanted to and not because of what everyone else told him to.
Granted Trevor never told me to write this tale in a script format, but upon many discussions with him.  It just felt like it could go both ways as a short story and a short script to be made by my fledgling production company.  In honor to keeping true to what he said to me...about doing what you makes you happy.  When i read it this hilarious tale, it reminded me of a time that underneath all the stress and bullshit that came with the stress I was in.  Writing this tale made me happy because one person believed in me beyond anything and he made me happy.  I never really told him or anyone till now.  But when I wrote Askew Ball in the short script format it was really for him. 
Now I write it because writing makes me happy.

Devil Cat: Author's Note

Devil cat is based on this hilarious story told to me by my aunt. Granted they have no idea in why the cat lost her mind to attack their friend, but in a story that is a fucking twisted tale...I transformed the cat into a Siamese cat.  I had a Siamese cat and man, was that little fucker mean.  Granted kitty was nice to me, but to everyone else...it was an evil fucker.
Granted, like the rest of my stories...it is fucked up.  Yet, this twisted tale does have a happy ending and you can say that I was thinking of Gerry as I wrote the ending.  Yes, to those that know-Gerry, my first serious relationship was the worst thing that could ever happen to me...and yet taught me a lot about myself.  I guess using him as a majority of my male deaths is really therapeutic.
Granted that is all I am going to say on this author's note...lol.  And yes, I'm disturbed and demented

Dementia: Twisted Tales

I know in the last few years of my life-I have been writing here and there.  For a while it was almost a stand still and found myself struggling to write something.  It didn't help that my relationships were screwed up...like Eric throwing something at my head and hitting my monitor.  My entire life seemed like a fucking twisted tale.  So...I kept trying to bit piece shit.  Yet, I kept remembering one thing...and it was true...writing made me happy.  I was able to put all my hurt, fears into paper.
I know I am great with words, but I was horrible in describing my real feelings to people.  For a long while-I realized that...no matter how well I could tell a story...the one thing I was shitty about...was my own life.  So...I guess it is easier to write...than to tell someone how you really feel...the panic attacks get in the way...the thoughts of what they would really think about you...get in the way...and the best to be silent and let them go..or fuck up your own words and say "Fuck it"
Well..my long awaited...collection of short stories...that I have wanted to do since 2006...called Dementia: Twisted Tales is a collection of fucked up nightmares to actual events that I have turned into a surrealistic nightmare.
