NEW BOOK – Be There/I Am Here

2020 was weird for all of us. Living in the age of Covid we all were doing the best we could to survive the isolation, the boredom, and the stress. Some became productive, some took the time to focus on themselves, some just survived. For me, I got super productive, as far as writing goes.… Continue reading NEW BOOK – Be There/I Am Here

My Newest Releases

For me, I feel weird if I am not creating in some way. The way my mind works is that I always have to have a creative project cooking or I get antsy. In all this though it's easy for me to forget that I have released three books in the last year. While the… Continue reading My Newest Releases

Alternate ROAD KILL beginning

I have said before that ROAD KILL started out as a long form story when I was a kid and have talked about my obsession with re-writing it after it was lost. Flash ahead a couple decades and I finally get back to writing it again and I started and stopped several times as I… Continue reading Alternate ROAD KILL beginning

TATTERED TENTS & WHISPERED WISHES Is HERE!

I am so excited that my newest book, Tattered Tents & Whispered Wishes is finally out.

Our Cover Story

So when I took the photos I am using for the cover of TATTERED TENTS I was shocked that I managed to find such a thing in the wild. I was out at a hobby store and was looking at a little display they had and saw it...a headless woman in a lawnchair just living… Continue reading Our Cover Story

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

Meet Little Sue!

Once upon a time I had the weird notion to do a kid’s book, inspired by two guests we’d had at our horror con. Both loved monsters and had loved them since they were a kid, being part of the generation known as ‘monster kids’. In my own way I was always a monster kid… Continue reading Meet Little Sue!

The Last Sheep – a novel

When I started writing I didn’t think I would one day produce nine books. Not ever. Even when my first book came out. It just…it wouldn’t have computed. It still doesn’t. I have put my ninth book out just before I turn 40. So strange. For me The Last Sheep is the end of a… Continue reading The Last Sheep – a novel

CEMETERY EARTH – a novel of the living dead

    There are a glut of zombie books out there. Zombies are the new vampires - everyone is doing them and everyone's version is the best most original thing ever. So why zombies? I began this book in the early 2000s with the idea of writing a book about zombies. I have talked about… Continue reading CEMETERY EARTH – a novel of the living dead
