My Sweet Infected Influences

I had quite a few influences over the roughly two years I spent on My Sweet Infected

I watched a lot of anime in that time. I attribute the increased number of streaming services such as Amazon Prime and Crunchyroll etc. to my ability to just watch whatever whenever. My favorite time of all is on the treadmill. I just unplug my brain from the world, plug it into my computer monitor, my Kindle, or Roku and watch away for the hour I'm on it. At 2-1/2 episodes per cardio session a season goes by fast.

I loved some of the various vampires, demons, undead, aliens and other mythological character types. As well, I loved some of the relationships you find in anime. I'll let you research that some if you're interested at all. GLOSSARY

Porter took my backpack off and set it down at the corner while I straightened my hair and clothes, pulling my shirt tail out over my hip holster. A girl had to look good, right? Not like she just came out of a brawl. This girl normally dressed more like a guy than any of women in the village, so this was as good as it could get. Nodding to Porter I walked right down the middle of the path and up to the front of the house. - My Sweet Infected - Chapter 2
"Sounds like it. I can't even imagine how a girl could do that. I admire that. I could never ever …" Her voice trailed off as she carefully reached out and touched the edge of my hair where it was tucked behind my ear. Her eyes displayed a confusing array of emotions as her fingers plucked at the short ends. Maybe there were stringy clumps of blood between the strands. - My Sweet Infected - Chapter 6 - MORE HERE



I saw this sketch the other day on G+ and it kind of suggested some of the feelings I had when writing these views of my protagonist, Emma.

Rated 5 Stars on Amazon and Goodreads. 

"My Sweet Infected is a fantastic new gory world for fans of the genre to play in. I loved the book and I’d recommend it."

Every Book Holds a Little World Inside

When I'm in full on writing mode, I can crank out up to 10,000 words a day.That's not normal though. I try to set a goal of getting in 2,000 words a day, like the old Stephen King writing advice states. “I like to get ten pages a day, which amounts to 2,000 words." Stephen King Goodreads I got quite a few books written in a short time span last fall, then settled down into normal daily life. The intensity required to write a book like "My Sweet Infected" was unexpectedly devastating. I became my protagonist in so many ways as she crept into my psyche and took over for me as I channeled her every thought as I created the story of her awakening. Read the book if you want to know more about this ruined world with humans on the brink of extinction. Find the clues, sort through the chaos, and realize the end is inevitable. The little world inside this book is doomed. Check it out, get the free sample for your Kindle - On Amazon My Sweet Infected (My Inf...

Eternal Redemption - Review [#horror #fantasy]

Eternal Redemption by Paul A. Wunderlich My rating: 2 of 5 stars Rating this: under the little star at position 2nd from the left, there is a little balloon that pops up "It was OK" That's about it. In general, the tone and language seem like a fervent attempt to imitate high fantasy. There are a series of editing errors that cause some confusion. It's tough to write a protagonist who drifts in and out of their own head. Time slips around in circles. An entire world of minions is disposable. When you're sitting at the top of an Everest sized pile of skulls, what's the next big challenge? Oh, yeah, trick the master trickster. Well, you get exactly what you ask for. With a little syrup on the side. View all my reviews

Film Festival History

A very long time ago when I lived in Kansas City, I attended a workshop on how to write a screenplay. At the time I was already editing my own fanzine that I later sold for an outrageous profit. I was also writing regularly for a handful of local magazines including New Age and Health topics, like the kind you find in massage studios. I did quite well and kept in touch with the instructor, who was a Hollywood Reader - the people that pre-screen submissions to studios. I wrote a screenplay and shopped it around some, getting a call from a VP at Viacom at my job in landscaping. I was completely and totally unprepared for that call and botched it terribly. I kept that bug in the back of my mind for a few years, and later when a company moved me to Utah for a tech job, I ended up hanging on the periphery of the Indie Film crowd. I went to a very professional Short Film Fest in Nevada, and decided I would make one for a Utah fest. The topic of the short was supposed to be something ...
