WISDOM OF A CHILD - BY BLAZE MCROB

https://www.patreon.com/posts/wisdom-of-child-42263202

https://www.patreon.com/Blaze_McRob

Wisdom Of A Child is one of my more reflective stories. Some of the best discussions we have are with those we least expect to be talking with. Read my teaser below and you'll see what I'm talking about.

******

Three A.M. I sit outside on my lawn, cup of coffee in hand, looking across the road, watching the deer feeding on the expansive grassy area in front of the Township school. The bright moon allows me to see their every move. They are such docile creatures, seemingly content, but still ever vigilant. After all, this is the world of mankind, a world not always compatible with the other inhabitants residing on the planet.

It’s calm outside: no traffic to speak of and seemingly everyone else around is asleep. This is my time to be alone with my thoughts, no one near to intrude into my private early morning domain, a place where everything is calm, relaxed, and stress is merely a word of what was and will be, having nothing to do with the present.

Mists rise up from the lush greenery, a hint of the humidity to come. It is pleasant out here for the moment, but the oppressive heat will be here soon enough. Time to enjoy what I have now.

“I love watching the fog roll in like that, don’t you?”

I glance in the direction of the voice and see a young child, probably around five or six years old, looking at me. He’s sitting in a miniature lawn chair, no more than two feet from me. I should be frightened, or at least startled by his sudden appearance, but there’s a kind of calmness around him that puts me at ease. My only wonderment resides in the fact I never heard him come over to me.

GILAS SUPREME - BY BLAZE MCROB

 

https://www.patreon.com/posts/gilas-supreme-42800148

https://www.patreon.com/Blaze_McRob

Gilas Supreme, by Blaze McRob, is a tale of Mother Nature unleashing monsters on New Mexico and Texas. How far does she go with her revenge? Read the teaser I have below. and hopefully it will draw you into wondering what lies inside my twisted mind. After all, something like this couldn't really happen. Or could it?

******

The hot desert air barely moves, magnifying the intensity of what mother nature has decided will be the hottest summer on record. How many days of 110-degree heat in a row now? Thirty-four and counting. There has been no rain for many months, and this extreme temperature is set to cause fires over many thousands of acres if even only a single spark is ignited.

Shit! The brush has the consistency of tumble weeds, ones which haven’t seen a drop of water in a year. Flames would spread so fast here a person wouldn’t be able to drive away fast enough to escape them.

I shake my head. What the fuck am I doing here? My life is on the line, and for what? A job? My damned job might be history by the end of the year anyway. Budget cuts are playing nasty with people in my profession. Biologists are finding it difficult to gain any kind of job security anymore. Congress figures we’re an automatic budget cut item. They don’t give a damn what happens to the endangered species out here. Oil is what drives them. “Drill, baby, drill” is what is on the minds of these fat-cat politicians.

No sense in worrying about that now. I still have a job, and I’m getting paid to do it, so I will. Many native species have vanished from this area almost overnight. Owls, rabbits, deer, and more are almost gone. Even the damned snakes have dwindled in numbers. And the evening skies are so quiet one would think there is nothing out here at all other than an aging biologist trying to piece together the parts of the huge puzzle.

OLD VAN TASSEL - BY BLAZE MCROB

 

https://www.patreon.com/posts/old-van-tassel-43017124

https://www.patreon.com/Blaze_McRob

Old Van Tassel is a tale taking place on Halloween. Yes, I know that December is a month usually reserved for other holidays, but for me, Halloween is pretty much an all year holiday. Besides, who can resist a good ghost story? I'm always ready. Here's a little teaser for one I wrote:

******

Halloween night in the valley. For this time of year, it is exceptionally mild. Usually, the ground is pretty firm and there might even have been a snowfall or two in addition to some hard frosts. This year has yet to see a frost, and an eerie, pea-soup fog about four feet high covers the entire valley floor.

Yet, the trees are almost stripped of all their leaves, the branches looking like long, skinny arms raised in supplication to some unseen force, the finger-like tips appearing as though they are deformed hands reaching out for something, but what?

This part of Northern New Jersey is in the middle of old Dutch country, and a lot of the old legends still persist, even after centuries of change. Tales of the spirit of old man Van Tassel always surface on nights like this when the landscape is transformed to that of a different place, a different time.

******

I hope this teaser for my short story makes you want to read the tale in its entirety.

MY RESPONSIBILITY AS A WRITER

 

This has been a horrible year in the United States. The cold-blooded killing of George Floyd shows us that racism needs to stop. It needs to stop now. This country was founded on the backs of slavery; this was wrong. We can’t go back in time and change that, but we must do something about the prejudice that still resides in too many hearts and souls. If nothing works, we need to see that they don't take the law into their own hands and strike out against the people they hate. I’m a pessimist at heart and I believe it is an impossible task to change the beliefs of those holding extreme prejudice against Black People. However, I don’t believe that the children of these people will necessarily hold the views of their parents. It doesn't have to be. My parents were racists, drunks, and more. I’m none of those. It’s up to every person, no matter their age, to get the facts from the many valid sources surrounding them. It is my responsibility as a writer to write about this, and so I will. I'm a horror author. Racism is real-life horror. My novels and short stories will show it for what it is. 

Too often we try to distort what we did to the Native Americans. We who are not Native Americans came here and stole their land. That was wrong. We resorted to genocide to get rid of them. Every tribe in this country has had evil foisted upon them.  We need to make things right. It won’t be easy, but we need to do it. What about the horrid pipelines going through their land? Eminent domain be damned. We took their land away, gave them, in many instances, land which isn't suited for a lot as it is, and then we expect them to live in fear of having the pipelines fracture, exposing them to pollution, and any number of health hazards. All so the white man can get rich at their expense. Again. 

We also need to remember that a huge chunk of American land was owned by Mexico. Some land was supposedly sold, deeded to us, etc. But we also waged wars over this. Remember the Alamo? Yes. That land did not belong to the United States. Mexico owned it. Latino people deserve respect. They're human beings the same as every other human is. I have many Latino friends. They're hard working people.   

I could go on and on about how we screwed the Chinese out of land and made them virtual slaves to work on the railroads. I will do some stirring of the pot to bring some little known facts to your attention. It is my responsibility as a writer. And now, because of Covid being blamed on China, many United States citizens of Chinese descent are viewed as being part of a conspiracy to spread this contagion. We did the same thing to American citizens of Japanese descent during World War II when we interred them. Did we inter the Germans and Italians? No. Of course not. They are white. Fair? No, I don't think so. 

Politics has become a big joke: from the politicians to us. Both parties hold out their hands to the big interest boys and slap cash in their pockets. Screw the voters. We don’t count. This was an important election year not only for the presidency, but for the House, and Senate. Many local and state offices were up for grabs. Every election for every office is important. My stories will present views that people of both major parties don’t agree with. I don’t care. I will let them be known.

Another case is the Keystone fiasco. Foreign interests and the Koch’s will make the money. And they want to ship out the worst oil on the planet. Think of the environmental impact. You better, because big business and the politicians don’t. And if you own a ranch or farm in the path of all this, eminent domain will allow these destructive bastards to simply take the land they need. Cool, huh? I mentioned this above when I mentioned what this was doing to Native Americans. Many people looked the other way, thinking it wouldn't affect them. Guess what? Greed attacks everyone.  

Big oil doesn’t stop there. Fracking is spreading everywhere. It sucks. It destroys the infrastructure, pollutes the water, causes earthquakes, and more. If you don’t want you and your children to get ill because of this lesson in stupidity, get the facts. Pennsylvania knows all about the downside. This and much more will be coming in my Living Green series.

And for those of you who like to eat, Monsanto is preparing yummy food that I wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot stick. Big Business working hand in hand with Big Government again. Both parties. It doesn’t matter. Another delightful thought is the use of insecticides killing bees and more. We need bees, people. They die; you starve. Some of these insecticides have the same chemical base as what was in Agent Orange. That’s right, the same stuff that gave Vietnam Veterans cancer galore.

Another thing I don't agree with is that we need to back the police. We need to back the good police officers. Not the bad. Look around you. We live in a police state. If you're Black, Native American, Asian, Latino, or any other minority group, you most likely have some fear if the police pull your car over, or if it happens on a street as you're simply walking. That fear is well justified. The law needs to apply to everyone. Including the cops. Especially them. They're in a job to maintain law and order. If the job is too much for them to handle, they can always leave. 

The talk about mental health comes up a lot when we talk about criminals and why they do what they do. Some felons go to mental hospitals instead of prisons. Sometimes they're released. The doctors say they're cured. A great many of them return to doing the same things they were put in the hospitals for. What does this tell me? Maybe, just maybe, the mental health folks don't have all the answers. What do I know about this? I've had family members and people I know who have attempted suicide or even succeeded at it. Almost all these people were seen by psychologists and psychiatrists and given a clean bill of health. In the case of one young man who did kill himself, he was told twice that everything was fine. They told family members and school officials the same thing. As far as I'm concerned, they were accomplices to murder. What we need are much higher standards of schooling and training for this medical field. 

I’ll stop here. I could go on and on about all of this, but I will take pen to hand or fingers to keyboard and let my tales of real-life horror flash across your computer screen. No one will be a sacred cow as far as I’m concerned. My readers are smart. They will figure it out.

I am pissed off. It is time to take off the gloves. Right is right and wrong is wrong. My stories are about to get darker. Much darker. I will deal with whatever issues attack my gray matter the way I know best: using my story people to handle the evil running around on this spinning rock of ours from deep within my soul. My system. It works for me. It is my responsibility as a writer.

OVERLOOKED - BY BLAZE MCROB

Some trees never make the cut to become a Christmas tree, but what can they do about it? In the short story Overlooked, by Blaze McRob, a Blue Spruce finds a way to extract revenge. How? Ah, me lads and lasses, one must read to find the answer. 

******

                                        A teaser from the opening paragraphs:

He stands alone on top of the small knoll overlooking the tiny hamlet. One more Christmas to be spent with his own thoughts, forced to reason why it is never time for him to join in on the festivities. Always on the outside looking in.

Overlooked . . .

Sure, the wind takes a toll on the forming of the Blue Spruce boughs, but it shouldn't matter that much. None of the trees are perfect. They all share the same environment. Some giving way to the natural forces foisted upon them is to be expected. He is well shaped and sturdy, yet he remains alone another season.

Another year or two and he'll grow too large to be considered a candidate for becoming a living tree within the confines of a house with even high ceilings. Yes, that would be the ultimate glorification: become a Christmas tree and then be planted outside to live a life of contentment for many years thereafter.

******

Happy Holidays, and Happy reading.

THE SHIP: BY MK ALEXANDER

The Ship, by MK Alexander, is my kind of novel! This book is a Steampunk delight. I've been having a difficult time lately finding Steampunk I enjoy reading. No more. MK's writing hits the mark. And, on top of the salty-dog jargon I find in this tale, I am happy to find humor, shenanigans of all kinds, a star-studded list of story people, thrills, drama, and fantastic science fiction. What more could a reader expect?

MK writes new, exciting stories to add to the mysteries that surround all of us. If only we dare to shake off the shackles binding us to mediocrity. Believe me, there is no mediocrity in the writing of MK Alexander. 

Read this great book. A great adventure awaits you.

Book description by the author:

Aye, welcome aboard, mates!

I can say little more without issuing a spoiler alert. Sorry…

I can say it’s about the largest vessel ever built by humankind. Embark on an unforgettable voyage with its peculiar crew. Come under attack as they sail into the dark void and parts unknown. Find yourself trapped below decks, and rely on young Ensign York to reach the Bridge and save everyone on board.

Steampunk of sort, set at the turn of the century, though I’ll not say which century. Save Our Souls, Ship in Distress…

******

author’s note:

Save a scant few, all the characters aboard ship are named for famous engineers of a bygone era. This is meant as a tribute to their contributions to humankind, and in no way reflects on how the fictional characters are portrayed in this story.

MK Alexander has been writing fiction for 20 years and has recently published five new titles, as well as several short story collections. He has been a reporter and editor for many newspapers, and worked for The New York Times for well over ten years. Winner of the BBC Short Story Award. "No genre is safe from me! One thing that irks me is the accusation that I am too subtle. I like to give my readers some credit: I always assume they are clever, educated, and have a good sense of humor..."

I always purchase books on Amazon when I find some I believe I would enjoy reading. The free sample tells me everything I need to know. Bingo goes the one click digit! Easy peasy. However, I am unable to leave reviews on Amazon because of the way they have changed their system. One must purchase a certain number of books using a credit card. I purchase well beyond the required number of books, but I always use Amazon gift cards which I purchase. I desire a certain amount of privacy and don't wish everyone to have that kind of access. In the past, I was allowed to leave reviews after purchasing books via the gift card route. So, nowadays I write reviews on my blog. I hope the authors whose books I love to read understand.

WALLKILL LAGOON - BY BLAZE MCROB

 

https://www.patreon.com/posts/wallkill-lagoon-43086321

https://www.patreon.com/Blaze_McRob

Wallkill Lagoon, by Blaze McRob, is a short story that tells you the unknown can exist anywhere. Take for example the Wallkill River, a rather unpretentious river in an area traveled by many. Yet there are urban legends surrounding what lives within its depths. Truth? Fiction? Read my story and see for yourself.

Here are the opening paragraphs of my tale:

******

The humidity is overpowering on this hot August night. All the weather indicators were for a much more temperate evening, but Mother Nature doesn't listen to the prognosticators of highs and lows and which fronts are supposed to move in. She's fickle and does what she damned well wants to.

There is not so much as a wisp of a breeze, and the air carries nary a sound of the usual bullfrog concert present on most evenings like this. But . . . there is a decided uneasiness to the lagoon that goes beyond the silence. This section of the Wallkill River is an anomaly to the upper reaches of the waterway which are usually swift as most trout streams are. Off to the side of the main current resides a back-water slough which drops off into the depths of a pool of water so deep and dark as to render any kind of visibility impossible.

******

Is your curiosity piqued? Come along for a trek into the unknown.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GXXQ2K8/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p4_i6

The Adventures Of Kid Joey, by Terri DelCampo, is a wonderful book for kids of all ages to read and enjoy. The entire book is filled with adventures and shenanigans galore. As Terri says:

"He's your everyday dude with smelly socks, but Kid Joey's adventures really rock! Wizards and krakens, and glow-fish too, through Grandma's crystal ball can be viewed. Beneath his bed is a monster bash. Sir WHIP even helps him with the trash. With magical friends and family, could he even set a trapped damsel free? Come along with Kid Joey and friends! You'll never want the adventures to end!"

Your children will want you to read a story to them everyday, and you'll enjoy doing it. The kids will love the art done by Terri at the beginning of every chapter, as well.

This book is a must read, my friends!

'Tis the season for some holiday short stories. Not all of them are filled with thoughts of Peace on earth, good will to men. My short story Retribution has no peace or good will to anyone.

It starts thusly:

******

Not much escapes my eyes. I am everywhere. Evil? Yes, I know where it lives.

Christmas is not my favorite time of the year. Truth be told, I have always hated it. But this year is different. It is my turn to play, to party, to revel in the festivities.

God gave me a gift this year. My enemy is being benevolent. I am allowed to take those who are destined for the fires of Hell and do with them as I please. There are no limitations to my cruelty towards these transgressors. They are mine.

******

Tsk, tsk. There is evil afoot in this nasty tale.

Last Chance is my latest chapter a day serial novel you can find on my Patreon page. It will be up in its entirety by the end of December. Here is a short snippet from chapter one to show you I waste no time in getting to some action.

******

Time was running out.

Charlie stared at the clouds building in the west. Once more the forces of nature were about to unleash their fury on the residents of Cheyenne. Since the early days of this infernal devastation of the planet, this city had appeared safe. Six thousand feet high, far removed from the coastal flooding which had obliterated entire cities from the face of the earth, the ravaging tempests of the oceans would not affect life here.

Not so.

Cause and effect. It was happening again.

The skies turned almost black, even though it was early afternoon. Lightning struck the surrounding prairies, leaving beautiful, but garish, displays of the power within the clouds. Thunder boomed, rattling buildings. This was no ordinary thunder: it resonated with a fervor of vengeance, shouting to all who would listen that the skies were king. Humans were frail beings, unable to withstand the onslaught of destruction, and the devastation was seconds away.

Twin tornadoes came in on the city, throwing cars into buildings, any unfortunate souls trapped inside screaming as their vehicles became airborne. Some of the fortunate ones were able to holler out after a violent impact. Others were not so fortunate. Only silence surrounded them.

******

As is my custom, the entire novel will be loaded with action and adventure. Come along for an end of days tale with a different twist. 

This novel, and much more, can be found on my Patreon page. If you like horror, you'll find a welcome home there.

Happy reading!

Update:

All twenty-six chapters of  this novel are now posted, and Last Chance is now completed.
