Fiction: part 1, “The Ex-Demon Lord Becomes an Adventurer!?”

Hi, all. Just a short note before the first part of this story. For those who don’t know, there is a trend in Japanese manga currently, playing off the idea of a Demon Lord commanding an army of monsters and the Hero and their party of warriors. I’m playing off this idea with this story.Continue reading “Fiction: part 1, “The Ex-Demon Lord Becomes an Adventurer!?””

Review of MSW “Seal of the Confessional”

Fiction: The Antique Shoppe

The Antique Shoppe Once Upon a Christmas Eve (second half) One month later… Jenny sighed as she flipped the door sign to “Closed”. It had been a long day. People had come and left in waves.

Review of MSW “Murder in a Minor Key”

So I had talked about reviewing “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” in my last post, but honestly… I wasn’t a fan of the book. I read it for the novelty and to say I’ve read it, but I’m not a fan of zombies in the first place. Suffice to say, the original book was better,Continue reading “Review of MSW “Murder in a Minor Key””

The Creature from the Black Lagoon

Greetings to all my (probably still nonexistent) readers. While I told you in my original post that I had planned on starting season 6 of “Murder, She Wrote,” these DVDs have somehow gone AWOL from my house. I have begun doubting their existence, truth be told, due to my hazy memory for anything not directlyContinue reading “The Creature from the Black Lagoon”

SoContinue reading “Preview of Coming Attractions (as they used to say)”
