The Wraith - Blog Tour - Hosts needed!

So, I’m going out on a book tour this August for my horror novel The Wraith. Of course, being that I’m shy and don’t want to be seen in public, this is another virtual tour. I love doing virtual tours because I get to visit a lot of places, get in front of a bunch of people and I don’t have to travel (I am afraid of flying) and not dress up or anything. Great, so I am going on tour, but I need tour stops! I am once again teaming with the fine folks at Silver Dagger Tours who

THE WRAITH - arrives today!

Today is the day, horror fans! My latest tale of pure unadulterated terror arrives in print & ebook editions today! The Wraith is a companion piece to my bestselling The Man From Taured. It is NOT a sequel, however, it is set within the same general universe and some of the same characters from TMFT appear in this one. In fact, the agents from IDEA are back and this time my fictional town of KNORR (featured in Sapphire, The Dead Phone and other stories) is under direct threat

The Wraith - available for pre-order: companion novel to The Man From Taured

Proud to announce that you can now pre-order my new novel The Wraith from Amazon. Coming this July, The Wraith is a companion novel to the bestselling The Man From Taured. It is not a sequel, but deals with alternate realities and features the Agents of IDEA first appearing in TMFT. Some of your favorite characters from that novel show up here again. The Wraith is also set in my fictional town of Knorr, which has been the site of other novels like The Dead Phone and Sapphire.

Voice talent Allie James discusses When the Night Comes Out

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

The journey to S.P.I.D.A.R.

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

Spider Facts: the Brown Recluse Spider

For the most part, we are pretty lucky here in North America when it comes to spiders. If you live in Central or South America or some of the warmer or more tropical climates (or Australia - so many deadly things live there it's almost unfair) you may have poisonous spiders, ants, centipedes or giant spiders or other insects. However, in the U.S. and North America there are few spiders to fear - but there are a couple. One of the most infamous is the Brown Recluse Spider The

How my day job helped me write S.P.I.D.A.R.

One of the things I have written about before is that I am a 'working' writer. This doesn't mean I make a living just writing my books. It means I write for a living and, in my case, this means writing blogs, website content and marketing materials. You may have thought I spent my days coming up with the demented stories I put out, but instead I spend my days writing blog articles to generate leads and writing high-SEO content for websites for a large international corporatio
