Fantasy, horror writer. Forever stories that flow into me and hopefully out of me, onto paper and into your minds. I am from a small Orcadian island called Rousay. I am married to my beautiful wife Becca, who patiently puts up with my creative moods. My daughter Tara, I am so proud of and our dog Dante who keeps us sane, well, as sane as you can get in our world. And say hello, our world is fun, mad and great to visit.
The noise over my head intensified. Disoriented I crouched down behind ferns which were as tall as me. I craned my neck back staring up at the sky. Geese. Hundreds of them overhead. I smiled even as a tear escaped my eyes. “Safe journey, guys and gals,” the old familiar saying brought more tears and … Continue reading Winter Geese
Today I want to help promote my Sister/Friend, Colleen Chesebro’s new publishing service business – Unicorn Cats Publishing. Don’t you just love the name? I want to help share with the announcement of Colleen’s new business (she never asked me to) because I’m not only so happy for her new venture, but because I can personally recommend her services. Colleen is a workaholic when it comes to her writing, poetry, and book reviews, but what some of you may not know, Colleen is amazing with techy stuff, backdoor blog nasties, and is a forever learner, always keeping up with what’s new in the publishing biz.

Recently, Colleen has opened up her self-publishing services, offering formatting manuscripts for publishing, and she is now creating beautiful book covers, with AMAZINGLY fair pricing. She is also much too humble to even be tooting her own horn, so I am helping do that…

New cover reveal and a beautiful poem.
D G Kaye’s first podcast, follow the links and listen. It’s a subject we all can relate to.
I finally did it! I’ve put up my first #podcast on anchor.fm, and Spotify, and Soundcloud. I’ve had pre-written episodes ready for over two months now, but had to spend some time learning some recording ropes on the anchor platform. I’m no novice when it comes to sharing my thoughts and experiences, but recording was a whole ‘nother experience.
Because I’m quite the amateur when it comes to recording, I am SO not well-versed in the editing part of recording. Editing, yes, this is the part when while recording and a blip comes out of my mouth that I don’t wish to share with the universe. This could be anything from a missed word, a missed pronounciation, a ding notification coming in from nearby computer, or anything. As it turns out, I attempted for hours to record from my laptop, but it just wasn’t working with interruptions…

Neil with his personal experiences with the Good Folk. My own experiences with the Good Folk are many and I ask you to post in the comments your own experiences if any. Thank you.
Deadbutdreaming usually attempts to interpret the faerie phenomenon from as much of an objective viewpoint as possible. The complexity of the subject matter demands an uninvolved assessment if any sense is to be made of it. But as pointed out in a previous post, the entire substance of both historic faerie folklore and modern faerie experiences is made up of subjective anecdotal testimonies; and the plural of anecdote is data. This data allows analyses. The following article is a personal testimony of my own experiences – a series of data points reliant on my own subjective memory and perception. As such, it does not provide evidence of the reality of the faerie phenomenon, but my own experiences do, I hope, add a small amount of data, which may help in the ongoing exposition of what the faeries are and why they might have been interfacing with humanity for…

I haven't written one of these for a long time. Why? Life, writing hard to finish Wisp 3 edits and start Wolfe Manor 2, life, but more than all those listed above; lack of confidence in myself and abilities. Now I don't like feeling vulnerable, I have enough mental health conditions without new ones knocking … Continue reading Saturday Chaos and Nonsense
dgkayewriter.com shares her review of a book I too believe everyone should read, whether you are grieving or not. xxx
Welcome to my Sunday Book Review. Today I’m reviewing a poignant book, written from her own experience with grief and loss, as well as shared interviews with some of her bereavement clients, by Dr. Joanne Cacciatore.
As many of you know, I’ve read a number of books on grief – from the clinical to the afterlife, and one thing I can say about this book is that it stands out from others because it talks about all aspects and changes of life we go through when grief strikes – not just the expected things. Dr. Cacciatore has ‘worn the shoes’. One other thing I’d like to note about this book is that I would highly recommend everyone to read this book. Why? Because everyone in the world will have to experience it in their lifetimes, and for those who haven’t yet, this book gives amazing insights. It’s also a good…
