How Tales Unleashed came about.....





Even as a kid I liked reading short stories...stories about almost anything.
But I especially liked the stories of the scary and chilling kind...I loved
watching movies penned by Alfred Hitchcock and Rod Serling.  To me,
Serling was the master. His Twilight Zone and Night Gallery series were
both remarkable... he was way ahead of his time.

I wrote a few stories as a kid, but didn't get serious about it until I got
a bit older. And after Undertakings was released, I thought this is the
perfect time to publish a short story book.

The stories in Tales Unleashed just 'came to me' if you will....I'd be
driving around a country road, visiting an old cemetery...looking at
antiques at a road side stand...then suddenly... I thought now this or
that would make for an interesting story, and that's how most of them
came to be.

There are a few cemetery related stories in Unleashed...a couple about
kids at a drive in movie, some stories of going back in time, and another
of being cast into the future..a weeping pumpkin, a boy who makes
a discovery of an old car in the woods, a marble that might possess some
kind of power, a youngster frightened by something she saw while
ice skating....and even a UFO story, sorry, no big foots in this one.

So I think you'll really enjoy Tales Unleashed. I should physically have
books in hand very very soon, and it will then be posted on Amazon
etc.

Thanks for your continued loyalty and your following my  blog
and my writing.... and for you western fans: I continue the work this
year on my western novel, based in Tucson in 1865....we'll tease that
one a bit as time goes by here.

Take good care my friends..and come back soon. SS
