This woman is just amazing. Allie James is one of those people who just sort of came into my life and we just seemed to hit it off creatively. She gets my work. She likes the kind of things I like to write. When I first heard the work she did on the audiobook version of When the Night Comes Out, something clicked. I felt it in my bones. Here was THE voice of my stories. For my money, she can be the voice of my work forever going forward. Out of the blue, she did this amazing

Not a big post here, just trying to share things with the people who stop by and check out my blog, but the great folks over at the blog Reads & Reels gave me a great review of S.P.I.D.A.R. on the site this week. I really want to thank them, spread the word, and hopefully drive a little traffic to them. They deserve it and I appreciate it.

Possible SPOILERS ahead: This is just a review of the terrifying new horror movie A Quiet Place, and I will try not to give too much away. However, if you are one of those oddballs who prefers to know nothing about a movie before you see it - stop now and come back later. 'Kay? Have you ever really sat in silence during a movie? I mean, really, really, total and utter silence. You may think you have, but until you see the new movie A Quiet Place, you have not actually sat the

Just a quick update folks! I am busy working on a freelance gig and the third Elementals novel - as well as trying to promote my new novel S.P.I.D.A.R. That one is available as an ebook, in print and audiobook version. So, you can get S.P.I.D.A.R. as an audiobook as Audible, but I also have seven other works there available for you to listen to from a variety of voice talents. They were all amazing to work with and if you just never have the time to read, listening to a book

One of the questions I as an author get asked a lot is - where do you get your story ideas? I have talked about my latest horror book S.P.I.D.A.R. and how it came to be, but there are some deeper things that happened along the way. I mean, spiders are scary all on their own, but why create a bunch of fictional half-robot/half-spider creatures that do the horrifying things they do to people like in this story? I have personally been afraid of spider for a long time. However, i

The first time I listened to an audiobook it was way back in the late 80s when my family and I were about to hit the road for a long roadtrip. It was a huge box of cassette tapes to listen to on my Walkman of Stephen King reading The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger. As a fan of King, I had heard of this novel, but knew it had only been released in a limited release and this was the first time I had seen it made available in any format to the public. Riding in the car across the mo

There are few spiders in the world with a more fearsome, and undeserved, reputation than the black widow spider. They are just the epitome of "evil" to a lot of people. They are a shiny black with the bright red hourglass markings. They are notorious for being deadly poisonous and for eating their mates - giving rise to the idea of wives who kill their husbands being labeled "black widows." There was even a movie out in the 80s with that as a title about a vicious woman who d
