Regardless of holidays or work schedules, I still feel the pressure to write, to create another story, beckoning my mind to place another piece of the literary puzzle. So, I have been digging, thinking, and updating as best I can, inadvertanly stumbling across a story I had completely forgotten about (don't really remember even starting it but its definitely one of mine). Also, I have renamed "The Underwold" to "The Abyss." Why? Because I can and I thought it sounded better, more fitting for where the loners and lost end up. "DC Adventures" has been renamed, and moved, to "Caldera." This focuses more on the place and less on the individual characters that I plan to invest in later on (probably soon). I have been fiddling with another entry in this series and I believe it is time. Deathwatch and Dark Conspiracies have hit slow points for the time being but I have to write so I will focus elsewhere, keep sharpening my skills and testing myself.
Beyond that, read up on anything you may have missed, or keep your ear out for the next Metal Monday! I promised to make this a good one, a lot stronger and heavier, more of the tone I will need for Caldera. The collection name may change again....but for now it stays. Enjoy and stay tuned!

THE MAD BARRON

QUOTES I ADMIRE
"A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain." - from the Wilderness Act, 1964

"I owe my solitude to other people." - ALAN WATTS

“I think I could turn and live with the animals, they are so placid and self contained;
I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition;
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins;
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God;
Not one is dissatisfied-not one is demented with the mania of owning things;
Not one kneels to another, nor his kind that lived thousands of years ago;
Not one is responsible or industrious over the whole earth.”
― Walt Whitman

"In the ancient world, people placed heavy stones on the graves of the dead so their souls would not wander and inflict the living. I always thought this was simply the practice of superstitious and primitive people. But I was about to learn that the dead can hover on the edge of our vision with the density and luminosity of mist, and their claim on the earth can be as legitimate and tenacious as our own."

- Dave Robicheaux (In The Electric Mist With Confederate Dead)
