Mark Morris is only 12 years old, and has been recruited unwillingly to stop an ageless evil known only as ‘The Dark Man’. Can Mark and his friends battle an evil that can’t be stopped by time or even death itself? The clock is running out and the only help they will get is from beyond the grave. Their very souls rely on a baby – one that has been dead for over six decades… One that holds a horrible secret …Dale A.

What can I say - I apologize for the long absence - Writers block (and life) happens. In the famous words of Stephen King in his book "On Writing", I felt as though "I was shoveling Sh** in a sitting position." - Ah, Stephen King sure can put things into perspective...<br /><br />However, I'm now back on the writing horse again, and plan to get to the good stuff...

They are downright inspiring - Keep them coming!<br /><br />Funny thing - The Guard character that is about to meet his untimely demise - Craig - is named after a fellow that I work with. It holds absolutely no meaning, and the real Craig is a really super great guy - just seems funny to give his name to a character that gets killed off - Sorry Craig, absolutely nothing is meant by it, buddy...

We have been busy, to say the least with all the preparations and such. I am sooo happy, and a little confused as to why someone as wonderful as her would marry a schmuck like me... I can only hope that she doesn't get her eyes tested prior to the wedding on the 30th...LOL!<br /><br />I will be taking a bit of a break from the Novel as Friends and Family are coming from the other side of Canada, so I will be giving them my full attention and enjoying life for the next 25 days or so... I will come back after a much needed break, and we will get to the absolute meat of the story... It will be well worth the wait... The next post can be expected on the 15th of July...<br /><br />Hang in there, and wish me luck!

More chapter art to come!<br /><br />The thing that gets me is that the picture that Peter drew of the dark man is really not too far off - oh well, no sleep for me tonight...(sigh)...<br /><br />Take a look, and see what a GREAT job that Artist Peter Francis did! (Spooky indeed...) I love the Clothes Thing, (chapter 4) and the Picture (Chapter 5) - Awesome!<br /><br />Take a look, and let me know what you think - the beginning of the novel, and on every chapter page...<br /><br />Till later!<br /><br />~D.M.~<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping</div>Dale A.

Sometimes it just better to keep your mouth shut.<br /><br />Pages 227-233 have been posted - enjoy!<br /><br />Well, the writing is back on track - My new job has stirred up my schedule and is making it difficult to write, but I will settle into the new routine...<br /><br />The new people that I work with are awesome! The new job is a dream, and the learning curve is high, but I will master it before long. I do have to say, what an absolutely great bunch of people that I now work with! I have been out of that field (Computers) for about 8 years now, but it is starting to come back to me now... Funny how you can forget even the most basic of commands when you don't think about them for so long - the first week, I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">felt</span> like a complete idiot! But the cobwebs are starting to clear, and thinks will go fine, I'm sure. It's kinda like riding a bike - (A geek bike...) <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Heheheh</span>....<br /><br />I think that due to my new schedule, I will start posting on every SUNDAY now, rather than Saturdays...

I think that the best way will be to put it into the beginning of the Novel, probably on page 3 or 4 so that it will be watchable that way - I may try <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Youtube</span>, but don't want to get in trouble - <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Copyright</span> issues and all - I will check into it a bit...<br /><br />A very cool thing is becoming popular that I may want to take a bit of a try at. It seems that there is a new thing called "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Cellywood</span>" where short 10 minute videos are produced to be downloaded and viewed on Cell Phones, and other such small screened mobile devices - Given the fantastic Trailer done by Rob Wright (AKA Robbie Dingo in Second Life) It is a natural transition. I am going to produce an episode or two and see how it goes over. If it goes as planned, corporate sponsors or private donations will fund further episodes, and after a while, it could become the first ever movie produced exclusively for cell phones... As you can probably tell, I love technology, and doing things that nobody else does...<br /><br />Lots of work ahead, so better get at it - I start a new job in real life next week, so I may not get a chance to post next week, but we will cross that bridge when we get to it... I may have time, but I don't know yet...<br /><br />Well, till next week, keep reading, and pass the web address to a friend...<br /><br />~D.M.~<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping</div>Dale A.

With someone like Doug, what do you think the shadow things have in store for him?<br /><br />Pages 213-219 have been posted for your enjoyment - We now have the start of chapter seven. The weird stuff is starting....<br /><br />Not much to write about today - Work as usual, writing as usual - I have a new job that starts in a week and a half, so I am pretty excited about that. There is a composer/musician in California just sent me his Debut CD with the intentions of composing original music for the website - Cool! Also, Peter is working on the Illustrations, so that is something very cool to look forward to - he is one talented dude. I wonder how he sees / draws the Dark Man - Is it even close to what I saw? The suspense is killing me...<br /><br />I should have a copy of the TV interview soon - I will post it here as soon as I do... Stay tuned!<br /><br />Well, back to work...

It is surely miserable, as you well know.<br /><br />And talk about truth being stranger than fiction - I have gained a new respect for Friday the Thirteenth. I was on my way to work yesterday morning, and there was a snow/rain/freezing rain storm happening that made for terrible driving conditions. I noticed that the heat was not working, and I resolved to get that checked out on the weekend. On the radio, they were talking about all the bad luck that people have on this day - I reached down to turn the volume up a bit, and noticed that all of a sudden, the heat gage went to overheat. My dash lit up with warning lights. I managed to drive to a garage, where they put my minivan up on the hoist, and showed me the problem - I had blown both head gaskets, front and back. About a two and a half thousand dollar stroke of bad luck. As if that wasn't bad enough, a little later in the day, my son took his car in for a safety inspection, and as it turns out, the same thing was ready to happen with his! They are leaking, and need to be replaced as well - Yikes! Two vehicles, both with the same very expensive problem, both on Friday the thirteenth!<br /><br />Needless to say, I went home and went to bed and stayed there. It's safe there....<br /><br />While I wait to get my van out of the shop, its a good opportunity to do some writing. Till next week!<br /><br />~D.M.~<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping</div>Dale A.

With Kevin now as a part of Mark's 'crew', will they be able to figure out what Poppies messages mean?<br /><br />Pages 185-191 are now posted for your enjoyment!<br /><br />Pete, the fellow who will be doing the illustrations for the Novel, got back last week from the horror writer's convention in Toronto. Apparently it was a big success, and Pete sold some of his artwork. I'm not surprised, as he is extremely talented in this field. You will see what I mean once he starts the illustration process... He met and spoke to <a href="http://www.ramseycampbell.com/"><span style="color:#ff0000;">RAMSEY CAMPBELL</span></a> who is Brittan's most respected living horror author - An honor indeed!<br /><br />The TV interview looms closer, and the work continues - Keep those emails coming - I really appreciate each and every one!<br /><br />Till Next Week...<br /><br />~D.M.~<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping</div>Dale A.

The flyer's that were handed out contain a great offer exclusively for the HWA Convention goers - read up, and contact me!<br /><br />The TV interview is getting closer - stay tuned, and I will keep you informed.

She covered absolutely EVERY aspect of this whole project! <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">She was</span> through, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">that's</span> for sure - Great job, Barbara!<br /><br />It will take a month or so for it to be aired, but they will give me a copy on DVD when it is ready, and I will post it here - <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">you will</span> be the first to see it!<br /><br />Also, a very exciting development - Peter, who is a professional artist, has agreed to re-draw the cover of the novel, plus an illustration for every chapter, and chapter markers. This is starting to look more and more like a professional Novel every day! Pete sent me some of his past drawings, and they are among the best that I have ever seen. The detail is absolutely incredible... Stay tuned to see his work. He will be attending the Horror Writers Convention in Toronto next week, and he will also be advertising his work, and this Novel. Thanks Pete! (I wish I could go, but work and all...<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">that's</span> my story and I'm sticking to it!)<br /><br />There were also a couple of mentions on Blogs, not to mention a Podcast talking about the book in Second Life! I will post those here this weekend for you to take a look at and a listen to...<br /><br />Well, back at it!<br /><br />Till later<br /><br />~D.M.~<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping</div>Dale A.

Their horror is about to begin...<br /><br />Pages 157-163 have been posted for your enjoyment!<br /><br />It's been a busy week - Been down with the Flu thats going around, and also been sending out press releases. There was a great write up on the Blog of International Bestselling Author <a href="http://mjroseblog.typepad.com/"><span style="color:#ff0000;">M.J. Rose</span> </a>that can be found here -> <a href="http://mjroseblog.typepad.com/buzz_balls_hype/2007/03/the_first_at_se.html#comments"><span style="color:#ff0000;">CLICK TO VIEW</span></a> . She took the time to add it to her "Buzz, Balls & Hype - Because there are over 175,000 books published a year and they can't all get reviews in the NYTBR." (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">New York Times Book Review)</span>.<br />Many thanks to her for taking the time! Much <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">appreciated</span>, and if you are looking for a resource to see what's new, her blog is a fantastic resource. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Definitely</span> check it out!<br />"Rose has appeared on The Today Show, Fox News and The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer. Features on her have appeared in dozens of magazines and newspapers in the U.S. and abroad, including USA Today, Stern, L'Official, Poets & Writers and Publishers Weekly." She has 8 books to her credit.<br /><br />As the TV interview looms, I find myself getting nervous - after all, I'm as scary to look at as the Novel is to read. This aught to be interesting - When you turn on your TV and see an idiot staring back at you wordlessly drooling and twitching, you will know that it's me. After all, I was once told that I had the perfect face for radio - Thanks Mom!<br /><br />Again, Thanks to M.J. Rose, and till next week, keep reading!<br /><br />~D.M.~<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping</div>Dale A.

As if that was not enough, he also re-built the Novel so that we now have a bookmark feature, and a slider along the bottom! Awesome work - we all thank you for that added functionality!<br /><br /><br />MANY thanks to ALL these people for all the help that they provided with their awesome talents! Take a look at their videos - either click the links above, scroll to the bottom of the BLOG and see them at the bottom, or go to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">youtube</span> at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=DaleAMoses">http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=DaleAMoses</a> to see <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">everything</span>!<br /><br />All this, combined with all the most important efforts of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Madddyyy</span> Schnook (Andy Sullivan in Real Life) who published the Novel in Second Life, thus making all this possible - Great work Andy! You have re-defined publishing in Second Life and indeed have set the bar very high for any future publishers! I am proud to be a part of that!<br /><br />The press releases are now going out, so stay tuned for the results this week!<br /><br />Enjoy, and keep reading!<br /><br />~D.M.~<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping</div>Dale A.
