Publisher info

Renaissance Redneck Media looks to defy labels and boxes. You can like motorsports and go see a musical. You can play flute and enjoy demolition derby. We dabble not just in the written word, but also with photography and irreverent doodles.

Why limit yourself to the labels applied by others when you can celebrate the oddities of the world?

Smashwords Interview

What is your writing process?
I don't really have one writing process. Sometimes a story comes to me in the middle of the night and I bang it out in a day. Some stories gestate for months or even years. Sometimes I write an outline and know what will happen next, and other times I am as surprised as the reader.
What is your e-reading device of choice?
Most of my e-reading is done on my Kindle. I like that I can travel with it and have so many books taking up so little space, that's important when traveling on a motorcycle!

Smashwords book reviews by Renaissance Redneck Media

  • Nursery Crimes - case 1 on March 28, 2013

    Fun and clever.
  • Liquid - A Flash Story of Obscurity in the Fabrics of Reality on June 27, 2013

    That was different. I have to admit, I almost gave up on it, but the ending took it in another direction that is very interesting and left me wondering where it would go from here.
  • Unusual Space on Sep. 03, 2013

    Fun read! Takes you on a ride.
  • Just Like You on Oct. 10, 2013

    Very well done story examining the human condition.
  • 2AT0074 on Oct. 10, 2013

    Interesting starting point for what will hopefully be a further developed story.
  • Malice Motor on Oct. 17, 2013

    Nice little quickie. Thought it was going one way and went somewhere else.
  • Times Hearts on Oct. 18, 2013

    An enjoyable collection of short romance stories.
  • NYE-186f on Sep. 22, 2016

    An interesting idea that feels more like an introduction to a series than an actual completed short story.
