from kelly mccullough at his facebook page:
The older I get the more I think that Tolkien’s elves may have been on to something. I’m thinking of writing advice and this exchange: Frodo: “Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes.” Gildor: “Elves seldom give unguarded advice, for advice is a dangerous gift, even from the wise to the wise, and all courses may run ill.”
There are certain things I’m very concrete on–butt in chair time, for example–but mostly I’m a fan of modifiers and shades of gray.

Appalachian gothic fiction writer - my works reflect a love of literature flavored by the darkness and magic residing in these ancient mountains. In my spare time, I Sim, I TikTok, I journal, but I always have a very strange sense of humor. I have lived away from the mountains and lived deep in the mountains. I currently live in Central Kentucky with my life partner and his cat. The mountains, their culture, their superstitions, their particular magics, will always be in my blood.
