tales from the freakboy zone...

Image
...is an eclectic blog full of short stories, so-called poetry and miscellaneously random ramblings from the bent mind of John L. Harmon.  He began telling these tales in May of 2013, but feared he would have to permanently end this blog in December of 2016 when he lost a chunk of his vision.  John slowly found his way back to these tales during the summer of 2017 and now continues full freaky steam ahead.

The Collective Eye - March 2021 - Until The Lights Go Up

  The Collective Eye is on...  WHAT SHOULD THE WORLD KNOW ABOUT YOU?    In a previous professional existence, I was an accountant and an auditor. I became Mr. Mom for a while, then moved into a position writing descriptions of stamp collections. Thanks to the Pandemic, I am once again a house husband, splitting time with Twitter and writing children’s fiction adventures with talking dinosaurs.

My brain tends to be all over the place and this blog is an outlet for it. WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO CREATE  UNTIL THE LIGHTS GO UP?  I have been part of a friend’s blog (BloodyWhisper) which deals with horror, regardless of the medium. It was my first chance to be “published”. I’ve done reviews, articles, and some short fiction. Until the Lights Go Up is a place for other things...

The Collective Eye - July 2021 - Aaron D. Key

  The Collective Eye is on...  WHAT SHOULD THE WORLD KNOW ABOUT YOU?   The world should know as little about me as possible. I don't want to be famous (though it would be nice if a few more people had read my books 😉 ) I just want the world to carry on ignoring me although enjoying the books, and perhaps wondering what sort of strange person created them. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR BOOKS? & WHO OR WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO START WRITING ?  I started off writing when I was 18. I was trying to create a world in which I would be happy, I think. I created 4 books at this time. Herai, Damon Ich, Stolid and Rael. These last two still waiting to be published. Then I spent the next 27 years trying to survive, earning a living and working hard in a job I was probably unsuited too. Finally this done, I was able to concentrate on finishing the books, and (as the world had changed) publishing them. This explains the weird duality in my books: the sections which appear to b...
