In a more or less recent discussion with my best friend, Shane, we discovered why we can't blog when we're not traveling. And the answer we came up with: our lives are boring. I mean, what do we do when we're not cavorting all over Europe? We go to work, come home, hang out. And that's it.

But now, hopefully life won't be so boring. Shane and I are collaborating on a new project. And it's going to be big, daring. World-changing, even.

Or maybe it's just a webzine bringing a new light to horror fiction and horror writers. A webzine that publishes well-written horror stories with strong character development mixed with compelling story that looks beyond big-breasted women being chased through the woods by a masked man wielding a chainsaw. A webzine for young, aspiring short story writers to publish their work and find tips on how to better their writing.
