Book Review: Wild Things Will Roam
Wild Things Will Roam, the debut novel by K.M. West, is a post-apocalyptic gore fest with a soul. The surprises don’t stop there.
A brief ode to 2020
Just like 2020, if you say it five times fast it’ll make your head spin.
My Voices
Dissociation is a form of fragmentation. It does not always result in fully formed individual personalities. Sometimes the divisions cause fracture but not separation. Like glass that is crazed with cracks.
Two Roads – ala Robert Frost
Robert Frost’s poem “The Path Not Taken” was the starting point for this homily of recovery.
Off the rails
Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a bitch. I was trying for something more academic sounding, but let’s face it, I’m not on that plane today. Nope, today is one of those days where I’m just trying to figure out where I put my sh*t. Or, more accurately, where I … Continue reading Off the rails

Instead, I am head-down in editing my second novel while waiting somewhat patiently for my first novel to have a pre-order date. I’m … Continue reading Touching base
Picking up Clues: January 6, 2021

In the can.
CPTSD is a strange thing to grow up with. Even stranger to live with once you know you have it. For Example: My latest InstagramPost- There it is the manuscript for Book 4 in the Unhomed series. Still debating titles. I do like to stick with one word – but … Continue reading In the can.
