Hi all! I've been meaning to start this thread here for quite a while now. Finally getting around to it. I've written a little over a dozen of these columns for Cemetery Dance Online over the last few years, exploring the wisdom and life lessons I've found in Stephen King's work. Thought I'd drop the links in here for anyone who would like to read, or discuss. (I've put my personal favorites towards the top, lol) I sure hope you enjoy reading them as much as I have enjoyed writing them. More to come!

So cool! Glad you're enjoying them, Rosie. If you need something else to read, it looks like Cemetery Dance just published my short story as a free read on their web site this morning too!! I was beyond excited to see this when I woke up this morning.

Teared up a bit when I saw this. Never thought I'd see my name on the cover of a magazine that has published so many great stories by the likes of Stephen King, Joe Hill, Peter Straub...

CD tells me this one will be coming this Summer.
