Anything you could possibly want to know about me can be found at my blog, GHOSTS IN PARENTHESES. Full of news (or lack thereof), whining about rejections and other such drivel. Be sure to leave a comment.

CHAPTER 5 of BLOOD ROUTES is UP
The comments sections are depressingly empty over there folks. Which leads me to believe that one of two things is happening:
1 - No one is reading
2 - Lots of people are reading but think that it sucks.
Don't be scared folks...go over and say hi. Or to say "Hi...this sucks. Here's why..."

Alternate reality
I’m not a 13-year-old boy from Western Maine, but I pretended to be one on the internet. That sounds a lot worse than it really is. It wasn’t an undercover sting to flush out predators. It was part of an alternate reality game (ARG) run by Scribner to promote Under the [...]Thomas Sullivan: SEA LIONS IN COFFINS, GETTING LOST & WRITING WITHOUT WORDS
Pssst…me again. Thought I’d check in on you. See what kind of problems you got today. No problems? That’s a problem. You’re an adventurer, a thinker, a romantic, a thrillseeker — something in a Walter Mitty fantasy that needs an adrenaline feed. You need a problem. Well…to be precise, you need a problem and a [...]
But You’ve Never Been There!
I like to write about places I’ve never been to. It’s liberating, and it’s an experience that I recommend to other writers.
But wait a minute, you ask. Don’t you have to visit places you write about? Don’t you have to step on another country’s soil, smell the air, mingle with the inhabitants and interact with [...]
Researcher’s Hell
Now and then I sit back and contemplate the difference between myself and a few of the other writers I know. More often, I sit back and consider the differences between successful writers and those who haven’t yet reached published status. I need to clarify something here. When I say “published,” what I mean is [...]
Joyful Stress
Let me list for you some of my responsibilities.
I have a full-time job with a utility company, and while that job is staying, the location is moving… and me with it. Starting in a month, I can expect an additional sixty minutes added to my daily commute (thirty minutes each way.)
I am planning to be [...]
