Halloween is a time that brings out the wicked in people it seems. For the most part it’s just for fun. It’s a laugh to be a little naughty.

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?
Ok, so I fretted and fretted over the book yesterday. I knew it'd be big but didn't realize it'd be THIS big. Part of it is the form factor I chose. It was put it in my head that it'd be neat to have all the books have the same form factor as the other… Continue reading Some Info On The Novel and The COVER!

It feels slightly pompous to act as if putting a horror convention together , a FIRST YEAR horror convention, is anything of great importance and in all honesty, it isn't THAT important but for those of us directly involved in the long process of doing it it was, and it became our lives. As personal… Continue reading How We Got To Where We Went
Today is essentially the last 'free' day before things get crazy for me. Friday and Saturday, the 28th and 29th of October 2011, are the two culminating days of a journey that began over ten years ago with a dream and which began in earnest in February.
