"There is in certain ancient things a trace of some dim essence - more than form or weight; a tenuous aether, indeterminate, yet linked with all the laws of time and space. A faint, veiled sign of continuities that outward eyes can never quite descry; of locked dimensions harbouring years gone by, and out of reach except for hidden keys." --H.P.Lovecraft

About me:
FEATURED ARTIST..
..
RESIDENT ARTISTS..
In search of a medium, I have been a singer, musician, dancer, actor and an artist...then I found words. And in a very short time, I realized that I'm not quite sane unless I'm writing.
First, last and always, I'm a story teller.
..
..
I'm a native Las Vegan and the number one fan of Las Vegas artist, Danny Roberts. We have a gallery downtown in the Art's district: DAMNED INK STUDIOS. I manage the gallery, shoot, edit and produce the poster prints of his art. Links to him are further down...) My last journalistic stint was as a feature reporter/photographer on the .... Arts beat for Stok'd magazine before it died and went to alternative magazine heaven.
First Friday
(A picture I took when Danny was showing at TAO nightclub in the Venetian. I didn't photoshop it except to pop the color a bit. The delayed shutter speed was just enough to create movement without obliterating the Shiva statue. A fun picture to create.)
MY INHERITANCE is witchcraft. I was initiated into a Hereditary Tradition at the age of 13 and have pretty much been in the broom-closet ever since. As (AKA)Ardriana Cahill, I have been writing for the past four years what will eventually be six books. The books will publish under the series title *Legacy* with subtitles refering to the content specifically.
~*~Book One subtitled "Polishing the Mirror" answers questions about how to identify the witch within you. It is at the proofreader as I type this and I'm now shopping a publisher.
~*~Book Two is subtitled "Stiring the Cauldron" and answers questions about Magick.
~*~Book Three is subtitled "Emptying the Chalice" and answers questions about previous religious training mixing with new philosophies for ill and good.
~*~Book Four is subtitled "Clearing the Lines" and answers all the big questions about pagan spirituality.
~*~Book Five is subtitled "Living the Magick" and answers questions about the smallest expressions of life as a witch and viewing the world through a creative lens.
~*~Book Six is subtitled "Raising a Magickal Child" and answers questions with practical tools to prepare your child to understand the pagan life view of a witch.
My content-heavy Witchcraft website, however overdue for an update, is banner linked below. Once there...hitting the sitemap is probably the easiest way to navigate the site if you are unfamiliar with the pagan community and terminology...
MY ADDICTION is dark fiction. Evidence of my darker side can be found in angry prose, dark fiction and scathing editorials by hitting the banner below. This site has been largly ignored for the past several years, however, the book of short stories is still on the back burner. When I can steal the time, I write my dark side just to keep my gray-matter, pink!
MY PASSION is for Las Vegas artist Danny Roberts who's been showing for the past four years in the Vegas Arts District at The Art's Factory. He's shown locally at the Bridge Gallery at City Hall, the Southern Nevada Museum Of Fine Art, the Art Institute of Las Vegas, the Contemporary Art Center (CAC), the Epicenter, and Mark Zeilman's MTZC studio and is currently connected with the Brett Wesley Gallery. He's shown regionally in Portland, Sacramento, Phoenix and Palm Springs.

As a winter present for everyone, I'm offering a free novella on my website.
A Happily Ever After of Her Own
Melinda Lightfoot, a preschool teacher with an unusual ability to flit in and out of fairy tales, never thought she would get into trouble...
...until the Fairy Tale Police arrest her while she is in Beauty and the Beast. They offer her a deal: Find Beauty, who left the story when Melinda trespassed into it, or be charged with the ultimate crime -- Fairy Tale Killer. If that's not bad enough the Beast tags along in search of his true love, and Melinda starts falling for the fairy tale prince. She must choose between doing the right thing and having her own happily ever after.

There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.
Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."
And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."
