"Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you." ~ Friedrich W. Nietzsche


Hello!

This site still receives a lotta traffic. Thank you for your continued interest.

I am still currently writing horror/suspense/pulp only in longer form. Visit my alter ego HERE for continued updates and current fiction. And please, you can call me Jodi or whatever you called me before I went all nom de plume.

Thanks for the years of loyal friendship and support.

By reading Pickledeath I knew you had the hand (or head) of a horror writer, heh. ;)

Congrats, as always, and hoping to see more from you soon!!

Roland D. Yeomans said...

Congratulations on winning the contest and getting "Decisions" published. I read your comment to Laura on A SHIFT IN DIMENSIONS.

I have posted two haiku's I used in 2 of my fantasies. You might like them. Most like the first better.

If you're of a mind and of the inclination, come visit my blog and have a look at them. As a courtesy only, I am leaving a link to my my blog, WRITING IN THE CROSSHAIRS.

I am a exile from Detroit here in Louisiana, wondering how I get to New Zealand. Have a beautiful day, Roland

Jodi MacArthur said...

Hi Roland,
Thank you for your kind words. When it comes to poetry, my first love is haiku. So of course, I'll check out your site.

Roland D. Yeomans said...

Jodi, thanks for visiting my blog and leaving your thoughts about my haiku's. Your compliment meant a lot to me. Don't be a stranger.

I would have responded sooner, but in the past 3 days I have driven 900 miles and slept a total of 7 hours the whole time! Being a blood courier can certainly be an experience.

In my latest post, I have put an excerpt from a Sci_Fi story that explains a bit more of what a blood courier does. Walter Knight said my story reminded him of Stephen King. Come check it out, Roland

Barry J. Northern said...

W00t!, nice one Jodi.

Jodi MacArthur said...

Roland! I've been super busy, but I'll be sure to get to it soon.;-

Barry, thank you kind sir. I'm glad to see you refreshed from the trip.
