It’s completely understandable that non-writers sometimes thinks writers are insane. I suppose we kind of are, in a way. Most writers will tell you that they hear voices and have full developed people in their head. Many writers will tell you that they don’t know where a story is going and that they just “follow [...]

Just checking in for a moment to let you all know that a) I do still live and b) I’ll be more active after this week.
My always busy life has taken a new turn toward chaos. I was laid off last week along with another 1399 employees of a very large software company. Last week [...]

This is an excerpt from Lost and Found in the upcoming Shifting Sands anthology from MLR Press.
Lost and Found
by J.L. Langley
Whoever invented burlap should be shot. Not only did burlap itch, it didn’t allow for much visibility, and it was dusty. He’d been coughing since being stuffed inside the bag. If Shay [...]

I’m working on finishing up Lost and Found which will be in the Shifting Sands anthology. We had considered changing the [...]

Last week, I wrote that I was going to take a self defense class.It was a decision born of research; since I tend to write about characters who fight vampires (or zombies, or demons, or whatever else went bump in the night behind them), I thought it’d be neat to pick up some fighting info. [...]

There is no other place I’d rather be…
Right here, right now, watching the world wake up to history.
Or something like that.
Please pardon the early 90s mediocre music flashback. But y’all, this is indeed a historic day. This is one of those days you remember. You remember where you were, what you were wearing, what [...]

It’s been a great couple of weeks for new reviews. I’m really happy that there’s been a lot of positive feedback to these recent novels–I’m definitely developing the taste for more, and am working on one right now called Tomcat Jones (more about that in a moment).

Elisa Rolle, in her review, says:
