Welcome to my World!
Every small town has its own stories to tell. Todd Hollow is no different.
The people who live here live quite ordinary lives. They attend to their daily activities with the same drive and focus that any of us do. If you drive down its Main Street, you'll pretty much see the same as you would see in most New England towns.
There are a couple of gas stations. There's a small hardware store that struggles to compete with the bigger stores.
There's the grocery store which is small enough where you don't feel so loss when you go inside and find that you are actually relieved to know you can get from one end to the other in a short amount of time.
There's a small cafe that serves fancy lattes as well as comfort food all of which helps patrons feel okay with their world.
And there's the used bookstore that sells the newest release as well as out-of-print editions. On certain nights you might find yourself taking part in a book discussion on subject earthly and not so earthly.
There's a dance studio where young bodies faithfully strive to master steps either in classical dance or the latest Hip Hop routine.
There’s the dojo where again young and old master the latest katas, and earn recognition demonstrated by the color of belt they wear.
For the most part the people of Todd Hollow are good God fearing people. Yet, no city, no town, no one truly escapes the entry of evil entities that may come in and wreak havoc within that particular community.
The dark side of life exists here in Todd Hollow as it does in most places. Yet unseen in the very beginning we begin to see as it infiltrates the townspeople seeping into it like water seeps into basements or roof tops after a raging storm, causing unsuspecting damage.
Each of my stories story will help you become more and more acquainted with the people of Todd Hollow - and the list will keep growing. You will start to feel as much as a part of this town as I do. For it is real enough inside my imagination.
This Newsletter will help you learn who's who and help you keep track of who is doing what to whom. And why they do what they do.
You can learn about what motivates any of my characters. Or you can tell me what you think motivates them and why what happens happened.
Maybe come up with a few scenarios of your own.
But please do enter at your own risk of course !
Tread lightly. And don't say you haven't been warned!

Hello!
Todd Hollow is not your typical New England town. Yet is does seem like the perfect place to live, to raise kids, and become part of community of folks who enjoy the changing seasons.
One thing for sure the weather never gets boring here among the landscape of houses, small farms, and secluded woods that circle around the town of usual establishments.
When a certain evil that lurks in the heart of men rises up mayhem and murder erupt turning this once quiet safe community into what can only be compared to a war zone.
So if you dare, come and me and get to know the residents of Todd Hollow.
One thing for sure, like the weather here, you won't be bored.
