ROAD KILL cover reveal
I have written before about my upcoming novel ROAD KILL but I wanted to talk a little more about it as I reveal its cover for the first time. The novel itself, as I have mentioned, was a long time coming. When I wrote the very first version it was vastly different than what it… Continue reading ROAD KILL cover reveal
The Red Prince Approaches
A town born from secret horror. A stranger with a hidden past. A doomed destiny that entwines two friends and binds them in blood. The road kill is coming. My new novel ROAD KILL will be released on April 6.
Road Kill Is Coming
When I started writing Road Kill as a kid some thirty years ago I envisioned it as two friends, obsessed with killing animals and heading down a very dark dead end. It wasn't going to end well and it didn't. It was about the idea that if the wrong people get together their evil can be amplified… Continue reading Road Kill Is Coming
Anniversaries
As 2019 dawns it brings with it two big anniversaries for me and two signposts in my writing. My first book Back From Nothing was released in 1999. I was a kid then, in more ways than one, and to have a book out was something I never imagined happening. I have gone into the story about… Continue reading Anniversaries
RoadKill – a novel
A million years ago, back when I was still a kid that had never even thought about writing more than occasionally and certainly never had thought about putting a book out, I wrote a story called Roadkill. In my mind it was a novella but in reality it was probably just a long short story.… Continue reading RoadKill – a novel
The Line – a story
Creepy story about one-sided infatuation of the nastiest kind. Fair warning if that's a trigger for you. The Line It was her smile. That was what first drew me to her. That partial smile that seemed to say more than words could ever hope to. It was a moment. An instant. It was… Continue reading The Line – a story
Dusting Things Off
As I have found myself with time on my hands of late I have decided it really is time to get back to The Damned Novel, which, I think I honestly call any of the books that I have put out that were novel length. This particular one has been a pain in my biscuits… Continue reading Dusting Things Off

He wasn’t sure when his choice had become his fate. He wasn’t sure when the… Continue reading Wanderer – a story
That Novel Affair
Sometimes I still have to stop and blink my eyes a few times to realize that I have put novels out. When I first started writing I didn’t have an interest in writing novels. My ideas were to write short stories that were like punches to the face or stomach. Something that made an impact… Continue reading That Novel Affair

So this is where they put in those trigger warnings, right? OK. This is a story about cutting. If that's not a topic you want to read about then please turn away now. Otherwise, this is Road Map.

Bunni – a story
Bunni didn’t like her name, though that seemed fair because her family didn’t like that she told everyone that listened she was a girl. Bunni wasn’t born a girl but she was fourteen now and she figured she knew better than them, didn’t she? Yes, she did. Mom and dad had been living with Bunni, who her parents… Continue reading Bunni – a story
