Remember the name Brandon Quinn. You'll be seeing it very soon at a theatre near you. And no, I'm not psychic. I'm an actor, or should I say a major star on the horizon. I’m that rare combination of talent plus charisma that equals superstardom. I’ve heard some describe me as brash, or dare I say cocky, but even I can hardly believe the whirlwind that has been the last few months. Leaving my small hometown for the media staccato of New York has allowed me to showcase my considerable talent in important, albeit small, roles on both Broadway and television. Film is the next logical step and my ultimate destiny. Right now, I'm sitt

Dan Reed hated the ocean. Always had. He hated its mystery, its vastness, and being newly divorced…..he especially hated its romantic reputation. There really wasn’t much in his life that he did like at the moment, and the thought of investigating the disappearance of a fellow NYC police officer and a small group of tourists in an isolated, Italian fishing village didn’t leave him wearing his best mood. “I can’t believe I got stuck with this,” he complained to his partner, Paul. “I wanna catch this creep as much as anyone, but does anyone here even speak English?” “I doubt it,”

THE DREAM PRINCESS Standing before the dark house, Tashia remembered everything her parents had ever told her about the dream realm. Their nightly visits into her dreams were filled with fantastic tales that only the king and queen of the dream world could know.  She wished to be with them, but one day she would be Queen, and to rule the dream world, they told her she must first understand the ways of the physical world. Something was wrong, though. It had been three nights since their last visit and her once wonderful dreams had turned to nightmares.   During one of his rare journeys into the real world, her father had given her two items

     A woman stood on the pathway, facing away from Lance and leaning on an umbrella as she twirled a yellow yo-yo in large circles from her knees to her shoulders.  She was tall and thin, and the skin on her long legs peeked between a skirt and a pair of high-heeled boots which rose up her calves and stopped below her knees.  She turned towards him to reveal flawless skin and a pair of perfectly moulded lips which sat beneath a silver and blue masquerade mask. Her beauty was apparent, but the eyes which peered through the mask were inhuman and cat-like, and Lance found their savagery unsettling. "Welcome to my playground," she said, straig

Fate and romance often walk hand in hand, and for that reason, my online dating story doesn't begin in front of a keyboard, but rather, in a small bar about six years ago.  My friends and I were out on our typical gathering at the Friday night hotspot when I noticed a girl in the lineup waiting to get in. She wore a baseball cap, had long blonde hair, and a face that could only be described as ravishing.  Hoping she would be allowed inside, I stood and waited for a few minutes, but the bar was packed and the lineup wasn't moving, so I reluctantly returned to my friends. About an hour later, I noticed that she had finally made it inside and wa

Potential is an emotional term. It can be a word synonymous with the excitement of budding possibilities and infinite boundaries – a magic that can only be found at the beginning of love, careers, or anything new. If, for whatever reason, that potential is never realized, that same excitement can erode into a feeling of loss and the dreaded what-could-have-been hangover. In the entertainment world, unfulfilled potential can also make a legend. Whether it be James Dean or Jim Morrison, dying young has but one perk – the romanticized version of what could have been. The fans that attended Tommy Bolin's final live show in Miami on De

    Somewhere in that hazy night club of the afterlife, a lonely DJ is spinning tunes and taking requests for the chance to tango with death.      I know. I've had my dance.    Everyone loves a great ghost story. The type of fantastical tale that sends a chill down your spine and slam dances with your nerves. The natural act of breathing becomes a chore and you find yourself inching ever-so-close to your well-beloved.  A truly frightening yarn can have the emotional impact of a head on collision between a car and a speeding passenger train.    With that said, this is not your typical ghost story. It's really much closer to a song, or to be
