about me

Someone I know put a book up here and encouraged me to do the same. Then she vanished.
So, here I am.

In my youth, I wrote poetry which I never shared with anyone. Then I wrote short stories, which I never shared with anyone. Now I write books, which I never – oops. Well, everyone has to change sometime. Or so they say.

I went off my depression and anxiety meds years ago because I was afraid they were bad for me. I drink too much and cry too much and I don’t sleep well. I feel I've failed at something in my life.

I'm seeking redemption.

Some people inherit the strangest things.


When Corky inherits her uncle’s diary, she gets a surprise lesson in the family history. Uncle Moony appears to have been hiding a serious obsession regarding his brother… a brother with his own strange fixations.

After discovering what really happened between the two men, Corky can’t decide which one was crazier. Moony watched Edgar as though his life depended on it. Edgar watched his brother right back. But Edgar disappeared, and now nobody has seen him for years.

Obsession seems to run in the family. Now that Moony is gone, who will be forced to take up the next watch?

(Please note: This is NOT a vampire book.)

Sunflower

Cass McMain

Can a Sunflower save a man's life? Ask Michael.


Michael is trying to become an artist, which is hard enough. It’s been made harder since his business partner left. It doesn’t help that his deliveries are always a hassle thanks to his stubborn neighbor. After a fight about this, neighbor Ted surprises Michael with a deal that will make his life easier. But there’s a catch: Michael has to wait for Ted to die.

He doesn’t have to wait long.

After Ted's death, Michael spirals into a dark pit of despair, tormented by a relentless sense of guilt. As the threads of his life unravel, the haunting shadow of his involvement in Ted’s death taints everything he holds dear. Each day brings a further disintegration of his once comfortable and productive life. His customers leave him. His girlfriend leaves him. He’s about ready to give up entirely.

When all seems lost, a new alliance unwittingly provides the key to salvation, and Michael discovers a few truths. One of them is that he doesn't have to become someone else in order to be a good man.

(Please note - Sunflower has found a publisher. At the publisher's request, I have removed a large portion of this book.)

The descriptions are really poetic and the dialogue is realistic and well-written. I've been meaning to read this for months, but I kept getting distracted. I guess I'd have to say that was my only problem with this: it was easy to distract me from it, because I don't read an awful lot of sci-fi. I ... view book

Really, really creepy. I read all of this over the past few nights. Your descriptions are a delight. I was too busy reading to write many of them down, but I do have a small list of typos if you'd like them messaged to you. view book
