​Water. Ever since I was a kid, I have LOVED the water. When I was little, I played in creeks and streams on my granddad’s farm or fished in one of his ponds. I’ve hiked up streams… in the water… to see majestic waterfalls. Anytime I go to the ocean, I almost have to be forcibly removed from it. I’m not sure why I am so fascinated with water, but it is where I feel most at peace; it’s when I feel the most joy. It doesn’t matter if it’s an ocean, sea, lake, river, stream or tiny creek, water rejuvenates me. Let’s face it, the idea of zombies is humans with no passion. They don’t experience joy or peace. Their complete existence, if they were real, is to steal life from others. With that in mind, there have been times in my life when I was a zombie… times when I lacked passion and sucked the lifeblood from my friends. There have been times when my depression was so great, it infected everyone I touched. It’s one of the reasons I moved closer to the water, to escape my personal zombie land… to move near a physical source of one of my passions. What gives you joy? What gives you peace? If you feel like you are infecting others with hate or discord, what do you need to do to escape your personal zombie land?

For those who are unaware, I recently released a new book, Relics of Grim Gorge, which is available in both digital and print formats. Although Relics is the second book in the Grim Gorge series, I've inserted a nice summary of the first book at the beginning, so you can pick up this book and start fresh. Relics has a whole new cast of characters. It's filled with mystery, intrigue, and surprises. Okay, yes those words do have similar meanings, but they sound good. This book dives deeper into the mysteries of Grim Gorge,  exploring new areas and uncovering the past. If that's not enough to whet your whistle (or is it wet, I find that phrase confusing), the book ends with a crazy new encounter. I can't tell you what it is, but this book is definitely worth a read, so check it out.

Well it's Friday the 13th, the release day for book one of the Grim Gorge series. The book is now available on Amazon. Just click on this link: Grim Gorge or go to the  Grim Gorge tab at the top of the page to access the book. This is the first book in a new series. The second is scheduled to release later this year. While you're here, check out the teaser!

I've never visited Fort Knox, but since it's supposedly the location for the United States gold reserve, you can bet it's pretty stinking fortified. If the U.S. really has all the gold there that the government claims, you can be sure they are going to do everything in their power to protect their assets. If not, they will do everything they can to protect their secret. Either way, it would stand to reason that if you could get in and keep the zombies outside, you would stand a good chance of surviving the apocalypse. Since it is already heavily guarded, however, it might not be too easy to get into even in the event of a viral outbreak. Chances are the guys and gals who are already inside will be keeping themselves safe and won't let you in. If the outbreak gets them, you might have a war to even get inside, and who want to be inside a fortress with a bunch of zombies anyway. Take my advice and look for a deserted island instead.

Kentucky, however, is a pretty nice state. I grew up in Tennessee and lived in Kentucky for a few years. It's filled with rolling hills, lakes, forests, and great people. From Louisville to Murray, it's a pretty neat state to visit, so I would recommend going and visiting Kentucky while it's still safe to do so.
