About Me
_______________________________________
About my reading and writing habits

My reading material consist of many different genres, but my fingers twitch along the keyboard predominately on a horror/mystery novel. Science fiction, children fantasy and popular fiction are genres that have enticed my fingers into other directions occasionally.

Some of my favorite authors are Anne Rice, Charles Dickens, C.S. Lewis, Gregory Maguire, Patricia Cornwell, Edgar Allen Poe and Robert Frost.

My guarentee

I have one guarentee for a potential reader, which is if you give my writing a chance then it will prove to be a worth-while read.

About who I am

An accomplished writer, I am not, but with every book read my skills grow. Some day, hopefully, they will increase to a point that someone would consider me accomplished, but until that day, I peck along on my keyboard enamored with writing.

Under The Veil Of Darkness

Robert Mourningstar

Shaken, stirred and a little on edge, a man chases the shadows of his past revealing unexpected results.


Sugar, maggots and dead bodies...

A seventeen-year old murder of a prostitute...

An estate rumored to be haunted...

What horrors are really in the grave?

A phone call from a reporter leads to inquires about the murder, and a newspaper claims that none of their reporters are investigating it. Historic events color the journey to uncover the mystery. A man's sanity is in question as Chase Manor stands as the ultimate symbol of horror as the crimes of years past come to life.

What do the authors on authonomy say?

“Dark and Gritty.” – Milo Saint

“An intriguing and well-told tale.” – Thorne Moore

“Leaves the reader begging for more.” – Sue MacKender

“This has the Southern tone and the writing penetrates.” – Katherine L. Holmes

Great book. These are my initial six observations of things that "aren't wrong," but broke my read. 1) I was wearing a skirt (“that” or “,which”) I made myself. I’d favor “that”. 2) Had she not noticed that unique and interesting didn’t fly here at Homogenous High? (Sounds awkward to my ears... view book

I can say for someone that doesn’t normally like reading military books on Authonomy that I found your book very intriguing. You have conveyed a sense of emotion very well. I like the intenseness that is felt when you talking about walking through the IED country-side. The sensation of tensene... view book

Your story is very well written from what I have read of the first chapter. The only thing that I noticed was the chapter seems very long, an estimated 9000+ words per chapter or roughly 40 pages, at first glance, but maybe, I'm not as familiar with the genre and chapter lengths. I have watchlist... view book

I think that you have a very interesting book here and think it has the ability to really shine, but also think it needs a lot of work depending on who your target audience is. I’m having a really hard time trying to determine who that is. I expected to read a story that was geared more towards ... view book

I've read through some of the first chapter. I will be finding some space on my bookshelf for your book based on the little piece that I have read. So far, I only have two complaints. The complaints are word choices. The first word choice is thugs. You refer to the Taliban as Taliban thugs. ... view book
