Ultimately, my (book’s) take on the afterlife is participation in creation. Each dimension encountered is basically a work of art constructed by someone who, after lifetimes of training and moral adherence, is allowed to do this by God. My Tai Chi instructor put it very good the other day...

Dreams have always been my primary inspiration. In my first book, Reliquary, I want to lay the framework of the relationship between dreams and reality. They kind of echo off one another and I see dreams as our a second soul where we can wander between dimensions. However, I feel like my...

Clark Ashton Smith and Robert W Chambers spring to mind as my personal favorites to the "Weird"/"Cosmic Genres. I have yet to start Robert Howard. Stephen King also has done a few Lovecraftian books notably "IT" can be classified as Cosmic Genre.

I've been tossing story ideas around since at least second grade. I base my stories largely on my dreams. I have plans at least three books: Phylactery, Myskatonia, and Kyrie. Of them, I have started the first two. And for the record, none of the names are set in stone. But, I feel like I...

Apologies while I figure out how to use the message board here. I had a desk job a while back. It wasn't on google and my clients were few and far between. I was left with far too much time on my hands. I usually do abstract art (for lack of a better term) so for me to do something...

The Dark Tower 1: The Gunslinger but also The Book of Judges from the Bible as I was reminded of it whilst reading the latter. Gunslinger certainly starts out as a humble beginning for being King's magnum opus.

I've always had a penchant for M. Night's movies. But I'm just watching these films and sure there are things I could see to be improved upon. But in watching the last movie (spoiler: he made a "secret" trilogy) and reading the backstory. I just feel like this is a story the writer wanted to...

UAA? I dropped out of UAA before I really got anywhere. Granted, I think it was the right move for my health but lately I've entertained the notion of going back.

Hi. I've always found names to be a tricky endeavor but I mostly just think of myself as "E." although that's much to short for a username. I am a writer, a dreamer, a kind of artist, a theologian, and a philosopher. Although I do aim to expand past my simple selfish reason for joining this...
