Patrick stared at the paint that curled like dead tree bark from the ceiling of his apartment. He blinked. It was late in the morning. He was not sure of the time, but felt that he could use several more hours of sleep. He was, however, hungry.
The street below his window was busy with pedestrians, horses and wagons. The sound of it all was harsh against the cobblestones and the bricks. There was some commotion up the block.

Buzzards had picked him clean. He was just bleached bones, rusted buttons, a faded blue hat, and gloves. His legs were buried in the coarse brown sand. Stanley knelt over the skeleton. He knew the uniform. A cavalryman.

| J. P. Moore writes in southern New Jersey, which is a long way from the settings of his novels and stories. He has fond memories of a childhood in the Pine Barrens, however, where endless tracks of mossy wilderness informed the spirit behind his fiction. Whether in worlds of his own design, or slightly off-center historical settings, Moore digs for the streams of mythology and folklore that run beneath day-to-day life. Pulling them forth, Moore makes prime motivations and manifest realities of these undercurrents. He finds his characters as bystanders and transforms them into heroes and heroines as they face horrific enemies. Moore’s settings are on the brink. Their histories are lost, or misunderstood. Their futures are uncertain. All of the heroes are gone. Only the unlikely heroes are left. Experience more of his writing--including Toothless, a free podcasted novel about a zombie apocalypse in 12th century Europe--at his web site. |
