Updates for ya'll

Hello People,

I know it's been a long minute since I've written to you, but I've been working hard on three projects and let me tell you, it's a full-time job. I love it though. As the saying goes, find something you love and you'll never work another day in your life.

If you haven't joined Wattpad.com https://www.wattpad.com to check out my books that's fine, there will be plenty posted here. I was thinking of posting excerpts and decided on my poem/story THERE I WAS. Sitting in bed one night watching the Stephen King movie 'The Dark Half', I banged out this tale of a monster and a human meeting on Halloween night. I love my dark humor so there's a bit of that. I pointed out to someone I never gender specified the human and loved the realization look I received.

Hope everyone is having a fuktastic Sunday afternoon and please feel free to contact me!

There I was
 
As often I was, deep in my mood, I sat on a bench and spotted a bat on a low branch of a tree staring at me.
The moon was out, casting curious shadows, but the one I focused on was casting a menacing shine, from which I was sure were its eyes.
Petrification was I, making sure no motion set the bat to fly.
Its webbed wings protracted and my lungs turned to ice, praying this winged mammal didn't mind if I cried.
Then the most horrific sight I had the unfortunate opportunity to see was when I noticed it was not a bat with extended wings, but a six-foot monster waving at me.
I opened my mouth to scream like a shrill whistle when the monster opened its mouth and gave a deep giggle. Offended but still about to pee my pants, I stood up and took a stance.
"Get away from that tree you monster!"
"Why should I, it's Halloween?"
"Don't you see what you just did to me? I don't care if it's Halloween, you scared the living shit outta me!"
The monster took one step forward, and I swear I felt it in my bones. Bending my knees, praying I kept my jeans urine free, the monster dared to lecture me.
"You humans are all the same. You dress up, and parade, pretending at being me while I hide in shame. Here I am, enjoying a stroll, and you want me to feel bad for you while you cry and pout? I was here first human so--get !"
By now it was obvious this ghastly monster, with no self-respect, meant to chase me off with words and that was no threat. So with a scowl and a harumph, I planted my butt on the bench and said, "Maybe this once, since it is Halloween, human and monster can sit and be civil, if not you can take your ugly butt back to the devil."
The monster raised its webbed fingers to the moonlit sky, sighed and spat, "Well, we can at least try but don't think I won't eat you. I have spit roasted humans that have made me resentful."
There I was, on Halloween night, my mood poor but once given a fright, able to see the monster through the trees and the next year I even brought him Carmel candies since he refrained from devouring me.

Tricking Astrid (Ch 1)

    Chapter 1 Astrid thought the world of her boyfriend. They had started dating after meeting on the dance floor of a club she frequented. The club was called Bounce and boy did it every Friday and Saturday. He was extremely handsome, which at first made her wonder why he chose her. She wasn't unattractive, just the typical brunette type who men usually found boring at first glance. Blondes had better fun, right? He'd romanced her, made her feel special in little ways until she thought she was in love. Remy was his name and after three months they had yet to have sex. She was never pressured or approached by him like that. What they had gone beyond physical admiration. But after three months she did begin to question WHY they'd not had sex. She lived alone in a two-bedroom house left to her by her deceased grandparents. In actuality, she had no living family. Her friends were few, mostly ones she'd occasionally see at Bounce. She went dancing to cure her
