    It started in Uncle Savior’s garage, I guess. He showed me his project car. It was a Nova, and we were off. I remember mentioning it to a guy who, in this series, I have called Nova. Then Trashy. She is watching me and Bekah get together one night, when Bekah has drank too much…

    This is the story of a broken girl crumbling. This is the story of a single garment. This is a story about Ronin, I guess, and a driveway. This is a story of the Waynesville High School Mafia. The Mafia was started by accident, I guess. A slip of the tongue made by an, at…

    No one ever to my knowledge touched his medicine tray. We all knew where it sat. There was a kinda wide hallway that went from the front of the house to the back. Off that hallway was the tiny bathroom. Right as you entered it, to the left sat a chest of drawers. On top…

    You never got much notice on a thing like this. Maybe a day, maybe two. Rose complained, but the women of the Mocking family have little power, and she knew not to fight it. “Just remember he’s a pathological liar,” Rose said as I made for the door. “You can’t believe anything that Ball says.…

    I don’t want to be here. I just went to a graduation party for a kid who is really important to me. I wrote all through last night, almost 11,000 words, starting with Aunt Easy Part 1 and ending where you just turned the page. I want to go hang out with my family. I…

    There were so many things going on at this time in my life that I really can’t nail any of it down. I’m going to throw a few things around. Let’s call it a few hands of poker. Some are wins where I pull in the pot. A lot of them are losses, times I…

    It was Christmas. Uncle Wrath was not at Grandpa’s that night, or he had already thundered into the streets. Uncle Ball was my godfather now, and I had saved my money to buy him a special gift. Dinner was eaten and the doorbell rang. We were all sitting in the second living room and the…

    Friday was release day for a book I wrote called Beacon, book one of the Nation of Five series. The book is about young men and an impossible task they set before themselves. Well, I know a lot about impossible tasks. I’m a DID survivor who suffers from hallucinations. I have bipolar and Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder. Getting…

    I guess I have to back up to when Mumble and Rose divorced before I can really give them away to their new spouses. Let’s start with Mumble and get Horrid out of the way. Rose and Honed is a little easier to swallow. First the shit. Mumble wanted to run something past me, and…

    A battered little girl. A panda bear. A set of fists. And a skeptical therapist. We have a lot to do in this chapter so let’s get started. One night I said something to my mother and step dad. Something like I didn’t want to go back to visit Char. Something ominous and haunting before…
