New Posts on Writing & Characterization

Just a note ... over at my personal journal, Macabre Ink I have been posting articles on characterization in writing, among many other things. Trish has created a font you can download and use to create crochet patterns on your computer Patricia Lee Macomber's Site

More book news to follow soon, as well as some pictures of the Hertford Fireworks. Also over at Macabre Ink you can find the continuation of the story of our Perquimans River turtle, Tommy / Thomasina - who we returned to the wild last weekend down at Missing Mill Park.

I've been running again. If you live in or around Hertford and see a tall bald guy with tattoos running about 6:15 in the morning, that's me. I head out through the graveyard on King St., around the high school, out toward 17 and then back again, rounding the corner down at Grubb St. and heading back up through town. This morning I did about 3 miles.

Enough for now.

Happenings on Market Street

There's been "things afoot" in the Great Dismal homestead. The garage roof, which has rotted steadily for years due to the fact that no local contractor would give us a reasonable cost for the repair of that roof - and the round front porch roof - because the latter confuses people, is being replaced. It will have a nice waterproof rubber coating as soon as the rain allows, and the front porch has new lumber, a modified design, and hopes of watertight integrity of its own!

On another note - Trish has her own blog now. It follows Breyer Horses, Crocheting, cooking, home decorating, and whatever else comes to her in the moment...check her out at:

My own main blog, covering news, writing, and more is:
David Niall Wilson

She and I will be writing a Stargate: Atlantis tie-in novel soon.

If you hurry, you can still get one of the last four or five copies of "The Not Quiter Right Reverend Cletus J. Diggs & The Currently Accepted Habits of Nature," my horror novella set in "Old Mill" NC - which I figure (if it existed) would be somewhere between Old Mill and Hertford.

You can get the book (and all of my other books that are currently available) online at The Horror Mall - and many of my titles are available in Hertford at Carolina Moon Books, or in Elizabeth City at Pager After Page Books on Water St.

You can Register as a customer at The Horror Mall by clicking - well - the word register. You'll find some amazing, rare, and hard to find books, t-shirts, videos and more.

Until next time,

Dave & Family
