If you’re looking for information about The Rabbit Trap, The Lonely Little Fridge, or my other works, this is the place!
A family escapes a totalitarian nightmare, but what happens when one of them wants to go back?
This full-length novel is a sequel to the story “The Rabbit Hole” published in a compilation by Kipekee Press.
A fridge is thrown out. Will it find a new and better home?

I am now partway into the Fifty Thousand Words in Fifty Days challenge, and have just passed a pause day. I have written over seven thousand words!
Glossy on the front, matte on the back. They look good!
I ordered from Vistaprint to see what their quality was like, and requested expedited shipping, so that I can have them when I go to the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair on Sunday!
So there I was. I had just wandered into a convenience store while wearing my new shirt that I had made with the logo of The Rabbit Trap. The cashier was asking me about it, what did it mean, and I was describing the book. He asked, did I have any info on it that he could give out, and I had to admit I did not yet. Creating something to give away was literally the next major thing I was doing.
To that end, I have now created and ordered bookmarks for The Rabbit Trap. Hopefully they will be here this week.
The book trailer for The Rabbit Trap went through a lot of evolution.
It’s technically an ‘animatic’, a kind of draft animation that can be quickly produced and adjusted as ideas change. A fully-animated work would follow on from it.
I started out by drawing a few rough sketches on paper and putting them in order.
Then I decided to try Boords, the online storyboarding service.
Continue readingNow that the first book trailer is done, I am moving on to the Fifty Thousand Words in Fifty Days dare. One of the members of Akosua’s Write-Now Club (of which I am a part) has provided a convenient online spreadsheet we can use to track how many words we write.
And I think that the first little thing I will write is a script for the second book trailer, in which I hope to get someone else to do better drawings…
With the help of friends, I finished it! I am very thankful for Akosua Brown, who provided inspiration and support, and to Dave Ranson and Sandy Kay, who provided voices (even if just one word!).
I have been working on an animatic, a kind of limited animation, to make a book trailer to promote The Rabbit Trap. I hope to have it done in a few weeks.
To express my gratitude for the help I have gotten with it, I have ordered shirts! They will include the new logo I have developed for the story.
As far as the story itself is concerned, Akosua and the Write-Now Club are proposing another writing challenge: another Fifty Thousand Words in Fifty Days challenge! This will take us to the end of summer, conveniently when I had planned to have a first draft done. I’ve pulled out Scrivener and started organizing things already.
“The Deathworlders” is a shared fiction based on the premise that Earth is an unusually dangerous place, and anything that can survive there is also unusually dangerous.
I first heard of the idea through Reddit and Tumblr comment threads posted via the aggregator site MediaChomp. But I was able to track it down to its original archive.
The Deathworlders is now a major story with at least 90 chapters. I am currently somewhere near Chapter 67. Here’s the beginning, which was originally posted as a stand-alone story:
The Kevin Jenkins Experience.
