About me
I am a struggling writer in San Angelo, TX. Originally from Southern California, I relocated to TX in '97. My life is finally taking a good turn for rather than against me for once and I hope to make it a permanent situation.
I have worked previously in a host of different careers: Sfx Tech for Movies and TV, Pro Wrestling (Wrestler, Matchmaker or Booker and Promoter); Computer and Network Consultant; Costume Design for individuals, Acting, Security Specialist for major Intl Hotel.Resort Chain, Computer Programmer, Web Site Developer, RPG Game Developer, and Prop manager.
I write Occult Fiction which is separate from Horror as Occult crosses all boundaries. Poe, Hawthorne, Lovecraft and Lieber all classified themselves as such.
My first book will be published next year some time as a new publisher picked up my contract when the former publisher dropped it. ...
I have never been married but I do have children grown and a beautiful, 2 yo Granddaughter named Piper. My family has, in many ways, been my life for 2/3rds of my life and I still have a deep love and respect for them. I am dedicating this site to my father Capt/ David "Tex" Minor, US DOD USN-CBC Fire Dept., Retired, who is the greatest hero of my life. My father passed away in 2002..
Here's to you, Dad... You always told me to follow my dreams, love life, respect others, and do not take life to serious. After all it is a fatal condition they have not found a cure for yet. You never stopped believing in me, thank
Why I use Clipmarks
I am a rabid researcher and information junkie. I also love anything to do with the Macabre, Occult or Unusual and consider myself a collector of curiosities. Much of what I find I use in my writing as inspiration for fiction and I am too curious sometimes for my own good. I love the variety of the choices we see placed by our clippers and there is not a day that goes by that I do not come here at least once.

POPSTODAY IN ROTTEN HISTORY from Rotten.com

by revenantdm  7-18-2008   
 NO ONE should see this as an endorsement of Rotten.com by me. This site is something that should be treated like a leper at an orgy. And on this site, that may not just be a metaphor! Some of the most terrible things are here and this is att best, the tamest portion. Seekers wishing to go further are warned....

POPSFrank Buck - Bring 'em Back Alive

by revenantdm  7-17-2008    1
 Buck was a man of his era... Hard drinking, hard living, self-made entrepreneur and showman extraordinaire. Buck's fame led to an entire occupation by circus workers today - wild animal tamer. Never a man to turn down a "buck," Buck was a shameless self-promoter and claimed to have even tracked down a Yeti once.

POPSBlackbeard (S9 Biography)

by revenantdm  7-17-2008   
 The Scourge of the Spanish Main and the last Great Pirate of the Age of Sail (Jean LaFitte was a smuggler) Blackbeard's life is shrouded in myth and legend and facts about him are verd hard to verify 300 years later. Edward Teach or possibly Thatch, was famous for several things that are documented and reek of the strange and as Kenneth Hite says, High Weirdness. He would drink a mixture of gunpowder and rum set aflame... Talk about a Belch you do not want to be around. He tied "slow matches" (used for lighting cannons) into his hair and beard so there would be a wreath of smoke around his head. He shot his best friend and first mate, Israel Hands in the knee, crippling him for life just a day before his death at Okecroake Island off NC. When Israel asked why, Teach said he was saving his life! (Knew about his own death? Planned it himself?) Weirdest Fact: Held Charleston, SC hostage for several weeks until his ransom was paid - a box of Native herbs and Tobacco... See what I

POPSGeorge Carlin Dies at 71, Selected last week for Mark Twain Prize.

by revenantdm  6-23-2008   
 Carlin was many things: Comedian, Actor, Anti-Establishment and political satirist, and an iconoclast that became an icon. Probably best remembered for his "7 Words" bit, I remember his "What is the Difference Between a Sport and an Activity " better. He was an amazing, insightful man with a crisp biting humor. He will be missed.
