Looking for erotic horror (BLOOD KISS)?  Maybe you'd like some short stories for bedside reading that range from mainstream to mystery to horror and sci-fi (8 CITY TALES : DARKNESS VISIBLE).  Or maybe you're looking for a mystery that has undertones of the supernatural (CRI DU COEUR).  Well, you've come to the right place.  MKC's writing has been called "darkly beautiful", "erotic and lovely" and "sexy and frightening".  See the reviews of her work on The Bookstore Page where you can also buy the works of Steven Sillls on the only authorized, non-pirate site and "the best new original voice in poetry of this new century" by Canadian author, Michael Goodliffe.

Links on the Bookstore page will also take you to the horror anthology Adumbra featuring MKC's  well-reviewed short story THE WINTER MIRROR and to the ezine Anotherealm, where the Higby nominated horror short story CITY TERMINUS is published.  AND you'll get a glimpse of MKC's newest work in progress!

Want to be a better writer?  Want to learn the tips and techniques that can make writing a novel easier?

Come to the Classes page where you'll find which classes are being taught and when. You'll also see testimonials to MKC's teaching and her classes to help you make up your mind if these classes are just what you've been wishing for to help make your dream of becoming the writer you want to be or not.

Welcome to The Writer's Labyrinth!

The official homesite of M. Kenyon Charboneaux, writer, teacher and wrting coach.

ANNOUNCEMENT : October 10, 2008  Well, it's been awhile since I upgraded the site, so here I am.  I've had to drop the Romance and Life-Writing classes - just not enough interest out there for them. I hope soon to have completed the textbook on writing as well as a new horror novel and you may have noticed that Eros & Rust underwent a name change to Eros & Thanatos.  It comes out monthly and is free, so tell everyone you know to sign up for it!

This site is not just to sell my own work.  on The Bookstore Page, you can buy my books, yes, and those of two extraordinary new writers, Canadian poet, Michael Goodliffe, and American poet and literary novelist now living in Thailand, Steven Sills. All books are $3.00 USD.  I DO NOT MAKE A DIME OFF OF THE WORKS OF SILLS OR GOODLIFE - 100% of the money goes to them.  I do not carry their work to make money off of them, I carry it because I believe in it.

Additionally, this site is a Writer's Resource site where you'll find, as time progresses, many more pages than there are currently up.  On the Articles Page, soon to be up, you'll find articles on writing, how to prepare manuscripts for submission, reviews, listings of markets and contests and much, much more - articles by myself and by others.  I can no longer pay for articles contributed bu t at least you get the credit on your resume! 

On the Classes Page you'll find which classes are currently being taught and where you can sign up for them.  And on the Services Page you'll find our price listings for the other services offered - line-editing, proof-reading of your manuscripts as well as the other writing services available here AND at some of the lowest prices on the Web!  

Other pages coming soon will include a Journaling Page with articles on journaling and prompts, including writing exercises for the Writer's Journal; a Reviews page for reviews of books and movies; and a Working Page with listings of agents, markets, calls for submission, publishers, and contests.

So look around, and come back frequently to check on what's been added and what's new and what's old, but updated, for your continued enjoyment and use.
