Hear that rumble? It is not an echo. It is a promise.
Some evils never die. They merely wait for us to grow complacent.
The Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia began on this day in 1968.
One young poet, Yevgeny Yevtushenko,
had to protest the invasion of his country else his despair would lead him to suicide.
He wrote “Russian Tanks in Prague," which was picked up immediately on underground radio in Czechoslovakia, making him a hero there and an official target at home:
Tanks are rolling across Prague
in the sunset blood of dawn.
Tanks are rolling across truth,
not a newspaper named Pravda.
Tanks are rolling across the temptation
to live free from the power of clichés.
Tanks are rolling across the soldiers
who sit inside those tanks....
The darkness which spawned those tanks is still there ... waiting, waiting, waiting.

Now, back to my small voice asking you to help keep my dream alive.
A few of my friends (not a tidal wave, mind you) have emailed me with questions such as:
Why does an undead TEXAS Ranger live in a jazz club in New Orleans?
How did Samuel lose his parents?
How did he get silver hair as a child?
Why does the vampire, Abigail Adams, hate him so?
When will you write another story of Hibbs, the cub with no clue?
What was Victor's and Alice's first Christmas after Katrina like?
What was Blake Adamson, my hero who is the clone of Jesus, like before his orphanage burned?
I answered those questions and another fun one: What if our world was invaded by aliens and it was left to Evil to defend it?

IN A WORLD OF NIGHTMARE DO LOVE, COURAGE, and LAUGHTER STAND A CHANCE?
SEVEN DARK TALES ANSWER THAT QUESTION
MY FATHER’S GUN
Fifteen year old Samuel McCord takes his first terrible steps down a lifetime of supernatural horror in 1815 West Texas in a tale of loss and redemption.
DARK WATERS
Texas Ranger, Samuel McCord, both saves and damns twelve year old Samuel Clemens while trying to save the boy from a creature whose home is the realm of nightmare.
MARY CHRISTMAS
When the orphan, Blake Adamson, runs away from the orphanage only to meet the ghost of Elvis and the very real Lucifer, he realizes you can’t run from your past.
LIES THAT LOCUST TELL
A fallen angel awakens in a British asylum without any memory of getting there. Worse, the asylum is being run by aliens experimenting with the inmates. What would happen if Earth was invaded, and it was left to Evil to defend it?
A DOWN HOME CHRISTMAS
Victor Standish’s and Alice Wentworth’s first Christmas together looks to be their last as all the demons of the haunted French Quarter are at their heels. What can the ghost of a Spanish Inquisition priest do to help them?
THE RIVER FACE
In a Native American tale of myth and legend, Hibbs, the cub with no clue, is taught a fearful lesson of spirit from the mysterious Turquoise Woman.
BRING ME THE HEAD OF McCORD!
Why did an undead TEXAS Ranger decide to live in New Orleans? Why does the vampire, Abigail Adams, hate Samuel so? This haunting tale answers those questions. But sometimes answers do not give peace.
