A few things to come....

Been incredibly busy as of late. I will have something to show for it though. Check out the following things:

1. Website relaunch:
     The old site was on Wix and was Flash based. Consequently, when flash became irrelevant on mobile devices, its visibility almost disappeared. This has been rectified on a new Wordpress html site. Standby for the official relaunch.

2. 100 Reasons release
     I am waiting on some finalization for the final product before releasing 100 Reasons for general sale. Anyone interested in being a pre-reader let me know and I'll provide you with an ecopy.

3. Castrated Epoch short story/novelette/whatever you want to call it
    I have adapted one of the poems from 100 Reasons into a full story. It will be released as a stand alone ebook in May most likely. The cover is already done and I'm just waiting on some editing.

4. I'm still part of a spring giveaway. If you want to win w copy of Nightmarescape in print or electronic format, check it out here: http://bit.ly/1HgisrX

Standby for all that and more from your old pal T.S. Dann.

I'll be part of a spring themed book giveaway with Claudette Melanson, K.K. Allen, Janet Brennan, Sabrina Street, and a bunch of other authors. If you want to win  a copy of Nightmarescape, now would be the time. Here's where you can enter:

March Is Upon Us

And did it ever sneak up. Some of you have been complaining about how gray and depressing it's been. Here's a poem to keep with the spirit of the season:

Deep Queen of March

Come to me again

O maiden of this mountain

Beneath cool blue sun

Bathing the valley’s shadow

Together we shall drink iodine

In a mildewed shower

Encrusted with quiet appreciation

Wet with knowledge of nothing

Eels waiting to pull us under

Busting through the cataract

Boiling consistency of burning tar

The nauseous part of this

Started out pretty

Only to walk through

Five o’clock spring light

Feeling the cool and the warmth

All at once

Packing a stockless AK pistol

Beside her blade

Strolling to the summit

Then putting a bullet in her head

The only justified alternative

A bloody meal left for foxes

I could eat a round myself

Or just walk back down

The great eagle’s spine

Within ever gentle wind

Never passing where I started

We’re all alone

Weep humanity....

For the final submissions have been completed. Soon all shall have 100 Reasons...to do what...that's up to you after reading it....

Positive Feedback

"I'm so fucking sad, I feel like one of your poems on the inside" -Bella Roccaforte, author of the Ink Series

That is a pretty heavy statement coming from good friend and fellow author Bella Roccaforte. Whether you like my shit or hate it, you have to admit, I never do anything half-assed. 100 Reasons will be coming soon. I needed to clean up the final proof and once I approve the final e-copy I will be going to print.

Until then, I leave you with this piece from 100 Reasons:

Roses From the Ribcage

Beautiful things hurt

Evidenced by the rose’s thorn

Good things are opiate

Leading to withdrawal

Yet I labor for these

Odds against it all

Intoxicating cloud of hope

Come on through and crash

See the scented hope

As it turns to ash

With no redeeming song

Beneath gunpowder stippling

Meninges torn

Neurons broke and crippling

Scrape the inner skull

Weigh the dead brain

What did you in?
