Eighteen years ago I began a journey. It started with a short, weird little story about an angry man with a pumpkin on his head and it became the seed for what would eventually become my first and perhaps only novel. This novel has been with me for a long time. From that short story… Continue reading A Note To Friends And A Press Release – Hooray?

Tips Off The Top
As far as I have had my blogs, and we’re talking a lot of time now, a lot of years, since nearly 2000 so that’s a lot of years and a lot of rambling and as much as I may like to think I have nothing but pearls of wisdom and deep thoughts to offer… Continue reading Tips Off The Top

Laying It All Out
I am in the midst of the most un-fun part of the book process, at least for me, and that's laying it out. Thankfully I have an awesome girlfriend that knows her way around laying my books out who has been hard at work on it but it is for sure not a glamorous job.… Continue reading Laying It All Out
Living Down to Expectations
It never ceases to amuse me when i do book events and get placed near uppity writers of self help or bios or whatever and they gimme the stink eye as if i am scaring customers off. Oh, people. So caught up in feigning what a pro writer should be but never getting the community… Continue reading Living Down to Expectations

Taking Back Horror
Horror, at its heart, is about the war at the base of human existence, the war of evolution and instinct. Evolution tells us we have to keep moving forward because we have no choice, we must move forward to survive but instinct warns us to be wary of moving ahead too quickly because there are… Continue reading Taking Back Horror
Handling the Business
I think it's safe for a writer to say that it's pretty much ALWAYS frustrating when you are trying to get your name and work out there. It's not there is no 'easy' way because I think if you're willing to pursue a dream you get over the 'easy' aspect of it pretty quickly. Easy… Continue reading Handling the Business
Natural Bored Salesman
I am no sales person. Salesman. Whatever. I ain't it. I wish I was, I do, really. A lot of my jobs I have had would have been waaay easier. Alas, it was not meant to be. I hate asking for help and asking someone to buy something, pitching them on something, is just not… Continue reading Natural Bored Salesman
Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark: Blackwood’s Guide to Dangerous Fairies – REVIEW
EEE! I love books like this. The strange tie in books you never hear about but which add a layer to another work, like a film. I had a similar experience with the Blair Witch books that came out. Books that created another layer of creep to an already scary story. Here we have… Continue reading Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark: Blackwood’s Guide to Dangerous Fairies – REVIEW
A Glimpse Of The Shadow
This is one of the many pictures I took today for the cover of A Shadow Over Ever. You get a feel for what I am aiming for, the general idea I was going for, without seeing the for real-real image I have chosen. I wanted something that evoked Pete Anders, the main character… Continue reading A Glimpse Of The Shadow
Looking for Agents and Publishers In All the Wrong Places
I, like about a ma-JILLION writers out there, am looking to generate some interest in a book. The book in question is my novel A Shadow Over Ever. I love the heck out of this book, and I am not saying that just because I began working on it eighteen years ago. Ok, that's a… Continue reading Looking for Agents and Publishers In All the Wrong Places
