The writer and creator of Chronicles of Hazard City. I wanted to make video games. I enjoyed the product. First time I wrote, I did it to kill time. That was my reasons through middle and high school. In college, I stopped for a while. Scenes started playing in my head. I started writing to clear out my head. I kept going for years. I fell in love creating worlds. I found the video game world wasn't what I thought so I became a writer. My first book was a series called Lucifer and Eva. The first draft of this story was rejected, but the reasons allowed me to rewrite it into the story better. I have been writing for several years, at the beginning of 2016, I decided I wanted to write for a living. I work at it ... read more

I write magic realism and urban and contemporary fantasy. For me, good writing is infused with courage. The very best of it makes you catch your breath and laugh like a kid going downhill on roller skates. I want to be a little shaken up by what I write. I need to wonder 'what will people think?' But only when those hair-raising moments prove to be integral to the plot do they get to stay. There must be story, and breathless moments; colour and fire. There must be characters I want to know, who become so real to me that I miss them when I am not writing. My objective is that a book not be an object in your hands, but a place you want to go. A book should add to your life; part vacation and part wonderful dream. ... read more

I never wanted to be thought of as an author. Somehow to me, authors were the men and women who populated the pages of those dreaded anthologies we were forced to read in school. The worst fate I could possibly suffer would be to appear alongside Hemmingway, Melville or O'Connor in one of those enormous volumes - not that I have anything to worry about on that score. I would much prefer a space on bookshelf next to the likes of Stephen King, James Patterson or John Grisham. Better yet, to be in the tote bag of some young lady headed to the beach.  I've always considered myself more of a storyteller. If I can get you engrossed in one of my stories, I'm satisfied that I've done my job.  I was born and raised i ... read more

I was born on an island in southern Louisiana and raised there. I had a fairly uneventful life up until this point, and the writing of a book is the most eventful thing I've done for the most part. I've got many hobbies such as knitting, crochetting, origami, and I want to try my hand at blacksmithing when I get the chance. I have an interest in older weaponry for some reason. Axes, swords, knives, daggers, everything of that sort. I guess that kind of shows through in my writing, since Will's arsenal is much bigger than Darrel's in my book "The Adventures of the Beard." That or I think of condensing when I think of the future. How many things can our phones do at this point? They can do anything a comp ... read more

I was first exposed to sustained high growth when working for a business, Admiral Computing Ltd, in the early 90’s. Like now, the UK economy was still very sluggish. Nevertheless, the culture of the business enabled it to take advantage of the opportunities the market presented. It seemed all too easy to be able to sustain a growth rate of over 20% pa. The business continued to achieve that, or growth rates near it, for the next 10 years. In that time it had grown from a company of about 150 staff to over 2500 operating in the UK, Europe, Asia and Australia. It was during this time I acquired the knowledge and really understood the issues that impact sustained high growth. At the time of its acquisition, the ... read more

Quaint Magazine is strongly committed to publishing work from traditionally marginalized writers, and in exploring identity performance, particularly as it pertains to subverting the cultural cliche of femininity. Our aesthetic can best be described as politically aware subversive horror candy-coated and wrapped up in a ribbon. We like the visceral and the disturbing, particularly when its married to the cute and innocent. We love Arielle Greenberg & Lara Glenum’s concept of the Gurlesque . Some of the staff’s favorite writers are, in no particular order, Angela Carter, Shirley Jackson, Kathy Acker, Margaret Atwood, Kate Durbin, Lara Glenum, Joyelle McSweeney, Roxane Gay and Dorothea Lasky.

For nearly three years, I worked as a psychotherapist in a Florida state prison psychiatric ward where severely mentally ill patients on my caseload were abused, starved, taunted, tormented, and beaten by correctional officers. After a patient on my caseload was beaten by guards, my attempts to raise the issue of patient abuse were met with silence. My vociferous advocacy for the humane treatment of our patients ended in my dismissal. Ten months after my departure, guards put a man named Darren Rainey in a boiling hot shower and scalded him to death. Deeply impacted by Rainey's horrific death, I became an advocate for his justice on a local level. Early efforts included a meeting with FBI agents and filing a c ... read more
