Shawn Arscott is a big bear of a man. He and I went to the same high school. He has not always had the easiest of lives, and I think he would agree with me there. However, he has a strong faith, and repeatedly seeks redemption for the wrongs he had done in life. He struggles with constant pain, not to mention some mental health issues. For him, art has become therapy. His online Facebook page dedicated to his art is full of his works both in progress and complete. It's here w

My new book, coming Halloween 2019, is a collection of 5 tales of horror called Darkness Falls. It arrives on October 31, 2019, but you can pre-order the Kindle & print editions now! Just head over to Amazon and order your copy. During the pre-order time, the Kindle edition is just 99 cents. The cover was painted by a friend of mine named Shawn Arscott. His original painting is called "Fear", but when I saw it, I had to ask him if I could use it for the cover. I will tell you

The world of urban legend is one of the areas of the internet and the world prefer to live in. I love watching videos about UFOs and weird, mysterious things. I collect strange, mysterious stories like the Mad Gasser of Mattoon and other stories. One of my favorites, of course, is the supposedly true tale of The Man From Taured.

So, guys, let me tell ya, this has been in the works for months and we finally reached a point where all involved said: Hell yeah, let's announce it. It is a dream come true. The first time works of mine have been produced in any sort of format other than ebook, paperback and audiobook. When the Night Comes Out: The Podcast!

Just 9 days until my new book When the Night Comes Out arrives. It's a collection of horror short stories (and one novella) and, I think, it's some of the best short fiction I have ever written and I am very proud of this collection. Below is an excerpt from the first short story in the book - The Elevator Game. A story about a game involving a tall building, an elevator - and the possibility of an alternate reality of nightmares. You can pre-order When the Night Comes Out an

My latest book, When the Night Comes Out, coming out close to Halloween 2018, is a collection of short stories. The stories themselves were all published on their own and are still available for about 99 cents a piece and just available for Kindle. For some people, the question I sometimes get asked is, with all of the novels and the fact I am fairly quick at cranking out books, why bother with short stories at all. So, I thought I'd go through some of the things I love about
