New website? So I’ve signed up for Wix to create a website but I need to watch some YouTube tutorials to see what I’m doing. I tried just going at it and there’s no way. I’ve never set up a website. I don’t know if this WordPress counts. It was super easy to set up. … Continue reading 2019 . . . February so far!
Author: Veronica Smith
Veronica Smith once fancied herself the next Carolyn Keene when she was but a pre-teen. When she reached adulthood, she wanted to be the next Stephen King or Anne Rice. Now that she's older and wiser, she realizes it's better to want to be herself and morphed into The Mistress of Horror. Besides writing, she developed an obsession for all things horror, and even started many petitions to make Halloween a year-long holiday. Despite the support of several Senators and a retired US President, the bill was vetoed in the House. To her chagrin, Halloween still remains a one-day holiday only. But she decided to improvise, putting out her Halloween decorations in the yard at Christmastime as well. So far no one has had her arrested for it. She and her husband live in Katy, Texas with their son and several pets, including a small horsed-size mastiff.

Ringing in 2019
2018 was actually a pretty good year for me but I plan for 2019 to be even better. In 2018, I had tables/booths at six events in 2018. Some were just okay while others were so amazing. Some, I shared with other authors and had a blast. Others, I did by myself. I've gotten over … Continue reading Ringing in 2019
My first YA book and the short stories that I love to write!
On my last post I was still up in the air about which book I was going to start. I decided to go with the Young Adult zombie novel. This will be based on my short story, “The Treehouse,” which was published in the anthology “Bite Sized Offerings.” That had to be kid friendly so … Continue reading My first YA book and the short stories that I love to write!
2017 – A New Year and Better Year!
I haven’t posted here in a long time. Work gets in the way of my writing sometimes. While the Oil & Gas industry has been hit with hard times, I’ve been as busy as a one armed paperhanger (to quote Annie Wilkes). As a drafter I’ve been working plenty, even gotten some overtime now and … Continue reading 2017 – A New Year and Better Year!
Black Friday Deals
“Look at this deal for Black Friday, honey!” Ralph pointed out to his wife, Sandy, “And this one. Do we need a new lawnmower?” She glanced over as she was putting the last clean dish away. The Thanksgiving feast was over and she sighed as her kitchen was finally clean again. “You really want … Continue reading Black Friday Deals
My Halloween Addiction
Like most people, I have my weakness, the monkey on my back; an addiction that I can’t cure, even if I wanted to try. If there were HA meetings, I’d have to go weekly, if not daily. But I’m not in denial. I say my name with pride and hold my head high! My name … Continue reading My Halloween Addiction
Flash Fiction / Short Story by Veronica Smith
Last week I was up late, waiting for my sleeping pill to kick in. I’ve suffered from Insomnia for years, and only Zolpidem lets me sleep through the night without waking every hour. But, if I stay up too late it tends to make me woozy. Anyway, this particular night I was coming from my … Continue reading Flash Fiction / Short Story by Veronica Smith
Visualizing the Story
I wrote a story called Beneath the Floodwaters. Currently, it is in submission phase for an anthology (fingers crossed). The story summary is this: Some college kids decided to hang out in the park one day to drink. Since the park didn’t allow alcohol or even glass bottles they hiked into the woods with their … Continue reading Visualizing the Story

The End – It’s not really though . . .
I’m reaching the end of my book (finally) and I feel like there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. I know very shortly I’ll be typing those two little words that all authors love to see. But it’s not really the end. I have to go back and do all my timeline checks … Continue reading The End – It’s not really though . . .
