Castles In The Air: Quinn Cullen's Scribble's

It's been a long time since my last post. Time is slipping by so fast it's hard to keep up. I promised a poker buddy, Giorgi, that I would post my story The Dweller here on my blog. It was originally published by Angelic Knight Press (under my real name-Yvonne I. Bishop), and is included in the anthology "Satan's Toy Box: Demonic Dolls. If you haven't read it yet there's an impressive line-up of author's sharing their scary tales of a little girl’s best friend, her precious little doll. But these dolls are nothing like the ones you might remember from your childhood, be it your doll or a siblings doll. Alongside all of the other excellent books published by Angelic Knight Press, Satan's Toy Box: Demonic Dolls is available on Smashwords and Amazon. Check it out, you won't be sorry-I promise you.  Following this post will be a post highlighting the brilliant author John Gilmore. Look for that some time tomorrow. So for now-without further ado, I

                                Thank you, Tim Marquitz for allowing me to probe into your personal and professional life. I totally enjoyed our time together. This interview took place back in March of this year. I apologize for the lengthy delay in getting our interview posted. You have been a gentleman Tim, thank you for your patience. J Quinn – Hi Tim, please tell us a little about yourself. Are you married? Do you have any children? Not only an author, you are an editor as well. Would you tell us about the different professions (skills) that you have? Whatever you’d like to share would be awesome. Tim – Hey, Quinn. Thanks for having me. Well, I’m pretty boring. I write horror and dark fantasy and am working my way toward doing it full time. I’ve a wonderful wife and daughter, both of whom ensure I get as little sleep and alone time as possible, which I’m sure was in the contract the wife keeps telling me about though I haven’t actually seen it. I do editing

  I am a huge fan of Lori R. Lopez. Her writing is imaginative, clever and horrifying to say the least. Don’t hesitate! Check out her work, you will not be disappointed.                                                                                                        https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/115703 http://www.amazon.com/Heartbeat-ebook/dp/B006NQHFZI/ref=sr_1_22?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1365302776&sr=1-22&keywords=lori+r+lopez A group of young zombie sympathizers are the only thing standing between the diseased and their hunters, who collect a fee for each undead bagged. It's a new world where humans have learned to lead semi-normal lives despite the zombie plague. But when a zombie protector's mother is endangered by a bitten hunter, a boy must question his beliefs and make a choice: protect the zombies or his mom. This is a different zombie tale, one told with humor as well as horror, from the perspective of a young man wrestli

                                       This interveiw is one of the best I've read! I enjoyed it very much. I now feel like I “know” Sharon Rogers more intimately. The questions are well thought out and Sharon answers them with confidence, style and dignity, allowing her wonderf ul persona to be revealed. Sharon Rogers is as beautiful on the inside as she is outwardly. Excellent interview, if you haven’t yet read this post, do yourself a favor and mosey on over and check it out!

For the first time, we are truly taken inside these notorious characters.” - Lawrence Grobel, Biographer "John Gilmore is one of America's natural-born gifts to literature.” -- Gary Indiana About the Author Described by the Sydney Morning Herald as the "quintessential L.A.noir writer,” John Gilmore has been acclaimed internationally for his hard-boiled true crime books, his literary fiction and Hollywood memoirs.

Private Parts: The Early Works of Ian Ayres  [Special Extended Version]   [Paperback] Ian Ayres   (Author) Poetry. Literary Nonfiction. Bringing together the best poems from Ayres's early verse (much of it written in houses of ill fame) to his erotic and darkly imaginative later pieces, this stunning collection also features his previously unpublished experiences with luminary legends such as Tennessee Williams, Allen Ginsberg, Yoko Ono, Edmund White and Quentin Crisp. More than a book, PRIVATE PARTS is an experience of teen angst, hangovers for breakfast and raw enlightenment tripping over that cliff's edge in the rye. It would not exist if Ayres were not a survivor. Ayres's crusty accounts of a boy's life on the wild side explores the extreme boundaries of human behavior and amorality, offering a journey through his life from his early years in houses of ill repute to his life in Paris today.

                                                              I was thinking about my job, trying to decide whether or not to go back to running a home daycare/preschool and I think I have made my decision. No, I have made my decision. I thought this might be interesting to those of you that don't already know exac tly what being a school bus driver involves. So here it is in a nut shell. I'm sure I've left out something but hopefully covered the basics. This is what a school bus driver’s job entails. I know I had no idea until I became one. First thing is to obtain Class B CDL with passenger, school bus and air brake endorsements. Train (Hands on technical and driving). Pass the driver’s test. (Driver’s must be able to parallel park to the left and right, drive the offset alley without mishap and dock the bus, all the while maneuvering between strategically placed cones. Driver must perform a complete circle check, in exact order as required by the state and per

                                                                            I am very excited, and admittedly nervous about being a part of the Keldane The Cursed Blog Tour. This is the first time I’ve participated in anything like this (My maiden voyage you might say). Let me say that I most definitely will purchase Keldane The Cursed and keep it safely stored away until my grandson’s and my granddaughter are old enough to read it. Despite the fact that our interview might very well tell us a lot the same, I’ve included his author biography. So without further ado, I present to you Jeff Hollar, the master mind behind Keldane The Cursed.          Author Bio: Jeffrey Hollar was born in Lima Ohio. Developing a love for reading in his early life, Jeff read anything and everything he could get his hands on.  Graduating from Lima Sr. High in 1980, he joined the army where he found a career in communications. Jeffrey remained in the army for 14 years, traveling the wor

The Sentinel’s Bride Awakened out of a sound sleep, Jade struggled to see through the veil of sleepy haze impairing her vision. Her mind, working against her confusion, kicked into overdrive. Narrow-eyed she peered around the seemingly empty chamber. “Where am I?” She uttered. But no sooner had the words slipped past her lips, the blood in her veins turned to ice water as the realization of her circumstance became clear. “No, this cannot be happening, not again. I can’t endure the pain any longer, I can’t. Please don’t do this to me again,” she implored, hoping with all of her heart he would hear her plea. Despite her vocal outcry, deep down Jade knew it wouldn’t matter. She had been in this situation many times before and she knew all too well exactly what to expect. He would come for her, he always did.

I am very excited about this interview with Armand Rosamilia. The incredibly talented horror author welcomed this intrusion, allowing me to probe into his personal and professional life. So it is with much delight that I share with you the interrogation I put Armand through. Ladies andGentleman - meet Armand Rosamilia! Quinn - Could I ask you tell me a little about yourself? Are you married? Do you have any children? Armand - I am happily divorced, twice. But I have three great kids from the second marriage, so there is that. Quinn – I like that-happily divorced. I would imagine that’s the best kind of divorce. I have four kids and I think that kids are one of the best byproducts of a marriage/relationship. It’s our ‘spin off’, if you will. Not that being a parent gives you much time to unwind but what do you do for relaxation Armand? Armand - I'm not familiar with the term. I write all the time, unless I'm reading or hanging out with my friends or ki

I came across the link for this on Alex Scully's face book page. I thought it looked very interesting. I have an addiction to vampires and just had to share.                                        http://www.firbolgpublishing.com/dark-cinema-midnight-son/ Like literature,horror films are divided into two camps. There are the gore and bloodshed splatter films. Everything from the   Saw   series to the classics such as   Halloween  and   Nightmare on Elm Street . The other side of the fence are the dark, Gothic films. These films take their cues from Hitchcock and other masters of suspense and atmosphere.   Midnight Son   is a highly recommended dark film for those looking for something different in your vampires.

Unable to contain my excitement I just had to share with you all the preliminary sketch of the book cover for the new edition of my werewolf story. Not only has it been rewritten, I have lengthened it and given it a new title. Originally titled Bipedal, it is now titled “The Magic of Moon Light”. Artist Michael Calandra is the genius responsible for this magnificent work of art. This is a work in progress; I am so looking forward to seeing the finished picture.
