Blood is the very giver of life that pulses through our bodies. Without it we are dead. For we are but mortal souls. Like a river it gives us energy and moves us forward. In horror novels and movies, blood is used to shock the life out of us. Slashes and splatters of the goopy red stuff, shock and frighten us with chills and shivers. Blood the essence of life. With out blood there is no death, there is no life. Maybe Alice Cooper said it best with ONLY WOMEN BLEED. For if a woman did not bleed, man would not have life. So as the blood pulses through your veins think of all that I have said. And on a cold fall eve, you may turn the pages of Obtuse and read about blood and life. Maybe you will fear what lurks Hickory Ridge!

The new novel Obtuse coming soon!
