about me

Terrors from my childhood are the canvas for this memoir-turned-fiction. I wrote it for my family, for my home town in southeastern Washington State, and for every kid who swam in the cold Columbia River below Pasco's old green bridge.
Thanks to everyone, for the hilarious, the heartbreak...and the dream.
Danny. If you’re reading this up there, then rest in peace until we meet again, ‘cause when we do I’m gonna kick...your...ass!
Love you forever.

POST 60

John E. DeHart

Some childhood haunts really do bite.


Seven years after watching his brother and musical mentor die, troubled musician Jay Hardt has begun a new life again with his sweetheart, Ellie.

But on a fateful night, he meets up with ex-neighbors-turned-maniacal medics, who, in their ambulance from nowhere, tear open a scar so deep that it will take a phantasmal trip into the terrifying past, a resurrected childhood promise and an irradiated alligator to reveal the truth of what he needs in order to lie beside Ellie one last time.

Holy-moly, Ms. McCullough! That's some backing! Thank yo, thank you! It was a painful and poignant story to write, seeing as how some of it was real, but it was a story I couldn't NOT write. You obviously read quite a lot of the story and perhaps all of it, and I'm very grateful. Thank you SO much.... view book

Hey, John. I'm reading Blackthorne Faire. While I'm not a fan of this genre, this is just too good to ignore. Your cover seems so very tame that when I began reading the prelude I was very much surprised. A lot of descriptive, but done nicely, clean and crisp, and with good cadence. Cool narrative... view book

Hi, Sue, and thanks. I don't get it. How do I promote POST 60 in the forums without seeming like an egotistical jerk? I can't do the read swap thing, and it takes me hours just to crit one book. I think I'm missing something key here, yes? view book

David. I'm reading Green Ore. The story itself is just fine, but I do have a few minor technical nits. Take 'em or leave 'em in the dust. Ch. 1 In your first sentence of dialogue there's no need to say "he said", since you've already established that it's Olwud. This may seem overly nitpicky but... view book

Jared. I'm reading Mummy's Boy. This story is good. Very good. Tight, stark interesting and well-paced. Good points of view shifts and voicing. The tense tone reminds me of some of Jeffery Deaver's stuff. I have only these few sentencing critiques: You occasionally miss placing a comma where need... view book
