Three years of Phantoms! The cat’s out of the bag now but we have been hard at work and by hard at work, I mean fine tuning the process of hammering screws and shoving square blocks in circle shaped holes. Learning new things is hard.
📗
Ben and his trusted engineer, Jared, recorded an outstanding audio version of phantoms with the help of Leilani from Returning Soldiers Speak as the director. It was a labor of love and we are so excited to be able to present the audiobook, Phantoms. It comes with an additional compendium that includes journal, entries, and photos from Ben’s time in Fallujah.
📗
Phantoms is currently available on Google, Apple, Spotify, Kobo and more.

On National Book Lovers Day, we are sharing a small haul (yes, this is a modest haul) from one of our favorite used bookstores. What have you picked up recently that’s got you excited? Moreover, what are you reading at the moment?

This course treats the short story for what it is. With limited space, every sentence matters. Participants will learn how to enter a story at any given scene, build tension, leave without over-explaining, and make sure questions are answered at the writer’s discretion.
📖
Through close reading, discussion, and workshop, we’ll focus on voice, structure, and on what to keep, what to cut, and why. The writing within a short story values clarity and honesty.
📖
This course is for writers wanting to read closely, write with precision, and revise with certainty. Join us Saturday, 8/1 for this class with Tyler Carroll. As DRC moves into a new chapter emphasizing more fiction and short stories, this one is a must to prepare you to compose and polish work that will be ready to send in when the call for submissions goes out.

Happy birthday to one of our many favorite humans on this planet. Nicholas Efstathiou is the author of Killers In Their Youth. He is a gifted storyteller, teacher, friend, father, grandfather, and probably a whole bunch of other stuff we (and he) don’t even know about yet. We love you. Happy birthday bro.

Happiest of birthdays to our beloved William “Buck” Bolyard. He is the author of Sober Man’s Thoughts and Devil In The Taillights and an accomplished smoker of ci******es. We love you, brother.

Next up in our creative writing courses on 3/21!
📗
A 90-minute session that uses writing as a way to improve cognitive and mental drive, helping clear noise, clutter, and the resistance that slows you down in life. We’ll use breath work, silence, stillness, and direct writing prompts that build a framework for stronger mental performance across the board.
📗
There’s no sharing, and you don’t need to be “a writer.” As humans, we’re built to create. We use the mind, heart, soul, and hands to dig into the parts of ourselves we’ve packed away. The parts that keep us from reaching our true creative design. By the end, you’ll walk away with one truth, one action you can apply immediately, and the start of a simple daily writing practice that supports our creative design.
📗
All of our 2026 classes are delivered via GoogleMeet and they are open to EVERYONE.
